  • A Google Doc circulating on the Web, for instance, lists several URLs pointing to Iranian Web sites listed by categories such as "Governmental and HARDLINE NEWS," "Police, Ministry of Interior," "Central Bank," "Commerce Banks" and "Office of Ahmadijenad and Khameneie." When a user clicks on any of the links, it initiates a continuous stream of page refresh requests to the targeted Web site that will eventually overcome the site if enough people click on the link.

  • A Cyberwar guide for Iran elections reposted on BoingBoing exhorts would-be cyber warriors to be careful about using Twitter to launch such DoS attacks.
