Stand-off at Greek Embassy

I'll be leaving my computer on tonight on www.greekembassy.org I encourage others to do the same and slow down the site.

does being logged on to the site do anything? anything else that can be done from the internet?

Yeah, you'd have to be running a script that constantly reloads the page in order to slow it down.

i'm not a coder, but there is a firefox addon called reloadevery that will query the URL every 5 seconds.

I imagine someone will actually write a script for it soon, but staring at the constantly refreshing page that says "Greek political leadership congratulates Barack Obama" is pretty funny.

copy and paste this code into a text editor (like notepad) and save it as greek.html and open it up in your browser.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function reloadPage()
{
window.location.reload()
}
</script>
</head>

<frameset onload="reloadPage()" rows="5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%">

CaseyFord, is that script any better or worse than doing the Firefox addition set to reload every five seconds? I'm not too savvy with computers so I just want to know what would be more effective.

Oh, one thing I just noticed with the Firefox app is you have the ability to set the reload to custom. It looks like you can get it going as fast as one reload a second, but that's about it.

honestly, not sure. i mean, i'm no hacker and not a very good at writing code. This is the equivalent of hitting reload a whole shitload of times. i doubt any case would hold up in court as they would basically be accusing you of accessing their website too much.

It's a denial of service attack. It would hold up in court and has in the past. That said the chances of being prosecuted for it are pretty low.
