Great Cannon Internet traffic diverter widens Chinese censorship powers: researchers
Posted: April 12, 2015 at 6:43 am
WASHINGTON China has expanded its Internet censorship efforts beyond its borders with a new strategy that attacks websites across the globe, researchers said Friday.
The new strategy, dubbed Great Cannon, seeks to shut down websites and services aimed at helping the Chinese circumvent the Great Firewall, according to a report by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto.
While the attack infrastructure is co-located with the Great Firewall, the attack was carried out by a separate offensive system, with different capabilities and design, that we term the Great Cannon, the report said.
The Great Cannon is not simply an extension of the Great Firewall, but a distinct attack tool that hijacks traffic to (or presumably from) individual IP addresses.
The report supports claims by the activist organization GreatFire, which last month claimed China was seeking to shut down its websites that offer mirrored content from blocked websites like those of the New York Times and others.
The technique involves hijacking Internet traffic to the big Chinese search engine Baidu and using that in denial of service attacks, which flood a website in an effort to knock it offline.
The report authors said the new tool represents a significant escalation in state-level information control by using an attack tool to enforce censorship by weaponizing users.
The Great Cannon manipulates the traffic of bystander systems including any foreign computer that communicates with any China-based website not fully utilizing (encryption).
The Citizen Lab researchers said they found compelling evidence that the Chinese government operates the GC (Great Cannon), despite Beijings denials of involvement in cyberattacks.
Because the Great Cannon shares code and infrastructure with the Great Firewall, this strongly suggests a governmental actor, said the report, which included collaboration from researchers at the University of California and Princeton University.

Chinas aggressive new censorship weapon can cripple your website
Posted: at 6:43 am
Provided by Quartz Dark designs
China has acquired a powerful new weapon in itsefforts to strictly controlinternet access and content.
Thats according to anew report released Apr. 10 by Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Torontos Munk School of Global Affairs. It sheds more light on the recent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacksagainst popular programming siteGitHub, and the nonprofit site GreatFire.org, which replicates websites already blocked by Chinese censors.
Citizen Lab says it had identified the new weaponwhich it has named Chinas Great Cannonresponsible for both attacks.
Located within Chinas massive Great Firewall censorship apparatus, the Great Cannon appears to operate asa separate tool thathijacks traffic to (or presumably from) individual IP addresses, and canarbitrarily replace unencrypted content as a man-in-the-middle,according to Citizen Lab.
In the case of online code repositoryGitHub, the Great Cannon was able to alter script distributed by Chinese search engine Baidu, redirecting massive amounts of bad trafficback towardsGitHubs servers in late March, reports the Verge. The attack, which lasted several days, was the largest the companyhad ever experienced.
While the Great Cannons ability to target and potentially take down websites is worrying enough, its also possible that the technologycould be tweaked in order to plant malware in millions of computers communicating with vulnerable Chinese servers, according to TechCrunch.
Those familiar with Edward Snowdens revelations may remember that the US already has this capability through the formerly top-secret NSA program QUANTUM.Unlike the US government, which attempted to keep the existence of QUANTUM a secret, China doesnot seem particularlyconcerned with hidingthis newest addition to it censorship arsenal. This brazenness both confuses and concerns the researchers at CitizenLab.
We remain puzzled as to why the GCs operator chose to first employ its capabilities in such a publicly visible fashion. Conducting such a widespread attack clearly demonstrates the weaponization of the Chinese Internet to co-opt arbitrary computers across the web and outside of China to achieve Chinas policy ends. The repurposing of the devices of unwitting users in foreign jurisdictions for covert attacks in the interests of one countrys national priorities is a dangerous precedentcontrary to international norms and in violation of widespread domestic laws prohibiting the unauthorized use of computing and networked systems.

Ron Paul criticizes Iran position taken by his son, Rand Paul
Posted: at 6:42 am
AUSTIN - Well, this could make for an awkward conversation at Thanksgiving dinner.
Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Saturday dismissed as a "joke" the demand by U.S. senators of his party that they must approve a potential agreement over the Middle East country's nuclear capabilities.
"I strongly disagree with the motivation of that statement made by so many members of Congress, especially in the Senate," Paul said at a conference on liberty at the University of Texas at Austin, presumably referring to an open letter senators sent to Iranian officials describing any deal not approved by them as informal.
Paul, a longtime Lake Jackson congressman who left office in 2013, said Congress should have a role in reviewing agreements, but he questioned whether the senators really cared about the constitutional questions or just wanted to undermine the deal.
"They're out to stop peace," he said. "They're terrified that peace might break out."
Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who announced his own presidential bid earlier this week, signed the letter and cosponsored a bill to require the Obama administration to seek congressional review.
The senator said during an interview at the South by Southwest festival here last month that he did so because he believes in the separation of powers.
The younger Paul for months has been moderating some public positions on foreign policy in the hopes of making himself a more palatable option for mainstream conservatives who will play a big role in determining the GOP nominee.
Much has been made of the relationship between the Pauls ahead of the election, with the conventional wisdom being the candidate needs to maintain his dad's base while also reaching out to more mainstream voters.
Eric Dondero, a former Ron Paul aide, told the Houston Chronicle earlier this week that the Pauls have always disagreed somewhat about foreign policy, with the son being slightly more willing to consider intervening in foreign countries.

In Iowa, Rand Paul's disparate 2016 needs collide to his detriment
Posted: at 6:42 am
Ron Paul spent much of his presidential campaigns serving as the crank on the debate stage. But here in Iowa in 2012, he finished a strong third, the beneficiary of an outpouring of libertarian love.
Now his son Rand Paul has embarked on his own run for the White House, and he hopes to be embraced by his fathers passionate followers. But to avoid his fathers fate at the end, less a serious contender than an asterisk Rand Paul must pull off a far harder task, convincingnot only his fathers backers but voters of other stripes that they should side with him.
Already in Iowa, where Paul campaigned Friday, the difficulties are obvious. Drew Ivers, who ran the fathers Iowa campaigns in 2008 and 2012, is undecided about whether he will support the son. He cites policy changes Rand Paul has made in his effort to broaden his appeal.
His "voting record is good, but his rhetoric over the last two years as he ramped up for his announcement has deviated from his voting record," Ivers said. "He is sending some mixed signals."
In other states and in other presidential election years, solidifying libertarian support would not be a priority. But with an enormous potential field of GOP candidates and the outsized voice of Iowans, who hold the first presidential nominating contest in the nation, consolidating their support is critical for a self-described "libertarian-ish" candidate like Paul. Even a small amount of defection could harm his chances, given the tiny number of Iowans who actually participate in the states caucuses.
In 2012, about 121,000 GOP voters caucused here, with Ron Paul claiming 21% of the vote, 3% less than the winner, former Sen. Rick Santorum. Pauls ardent backers then engineered a hostile takeover of the state Republican Party, leading the lions share of Iowas delegates to cast ballots for the Texas congressman at the Republican National Convention.
Political observers and even operatives who are supporting other candidates widely expect Rand Paul to hold on to many of these activists.
The Rev. Glen Bandel, a part-time pastor at Nora Springs Christian Church, is among those who endorsed the elder Paul and plan to caucus for the son.
"Hes No. 1 on my list," said Bandel, 86. "Theyre not the same. Theyre not identical. Theyre two separate individuals but theyve both got some pretty good ideas." Rand Paul, he said, "looks pretty conservative."
The candidate says retaining such backers is key to his prospects.
