A single DDOS can ruin a mullah’s entire day!

Talk is cheap, and there’s not much I can say that would help the Iranian protesters. What I’d really like to do is something — anything — that goes beyond talk. In that regard, Glenn Reynolds linked a post by Eric S. Raymond which asked for help:

I’ve spent the last seventeen hours living inside a cyberpunk novel. A libertarian cyberpunk novel. It’s been a weird and awesome experience.
Within an hour after I received a plea for help from Iran, a regular commenter on this blog recruited me into a hacker network that has been forming to support the democratic Iranian revolutionaries by providing them with proxy servers, Tor anonymizers, and any other technologies needed for them to communicate over channels the Iranian regime cannot censor or control.

As Glenn points out,

He’s looking for volunteers, if you’d like to help.

I would, except I don’t have any of that stuff or experience to offer.
However, via a link that Jos&eacute Guardia posted, I found something more my speed.

PLEASE HELP by clicking here and keeping the window open as much time as you can; it’s a DDOS script to try to bring down Iran’s official websites. Let’s see if we can all make them stop blocking cellphones, SMS, Twitter, email, etc. And tell your friends!

Now that’s easy! And cool.
I’m only too glad to run the script and pass it along.
Again, the link is here, and I hope it helps. (If it’s now been rendered ineffective, or anyone knows of a better approach, please let me know.)
The way I see it, if spreading a DDOS can help give one mullah a bad hair day, it’s worth all the talk in the world.
UPDATE: From Eric S. Raymond, an important comment:

Please do not attempt to DDOS Iranian sites from outside the country. It is a BAD IDEA.
Here’s why. Iran’s pipe to the ourtsise is narrow. If you flood it, the demonstrators won’t be able to use our proxies and won’t have communications.

I have therefore removed the links above.
