Al-Qaida's website was hacked, with the use of tools like Snapback (for domain registration), whois and traceroute, as well as an online translator.

The hacker, John Messner, knew Al-Qaida was operating as "Al Neda" in Kuala Lumpur. Before Al-Qaida could change its registration to India, Messner used Snapback to transfer ownership of the site to himself. He put a copy of Al-Qaida's site on the server, so terrorists didn't notice the move for 5 days.

During this time, he traced all Al-Qaida-related terrorist websites. Messner then replaced the site's content with a US Great Seal. On the original article, you can learn about how Messner tracked the terrorists and how hard it was to convince the FBI he was right.

If you can't even write a simple program, you except us to teach you how to hack? -or- if you want to learn how to write a program, you can search the internet.

budwurm = duh *lol*
