Cyber Wars In Iran

Recently there was a conference in Tehran about the 8 month cyber-warfare against opposition websites .
The following link shows what discussed at this conference .

What I recieved from the issues in this conffeernce is that Iranian government are using the young and smart software engineers to work as hackers and also to find the internal hackers and protect the government cyber space .
What they did from 2005 till now are amazing . If u have a look at link that I mentioned you will find that they are totally strong , they attacked to several huge websites like NASA and also they discovered internal hackers who were responsible for cyber-theft of five million dollars from the banks.
In one point of view it would be great because people will be be sure that the cyber space is secure an they can do all transactions online . But in another point of view it can be an activity against human right in Iran to ignore all disagreement against the government.

The new Iran internet law is suspicious !!!

First lets have a look at these news :

Iran has passed a new internet law that experts fear will make information on internet users more readily available to the authorities.

Press TV, a news channel funded by the Iranian government, said on Monday that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the country's president, has issued an order for the implementation of the law.

According to Press TV, the cyber law would provide internet users with "more security", as internet service providers are required to save all data sent and received by their clients for at least three months.

But critics of the legislation say the stored data would enable the authorities to monitor internet users, including anonymous bloggers opposed to the regime in the Islamic republic.

The new Internet law seems to be a tool for creating more security for internet users , but who can believe that government suddenly mentioned that security of websites and blogs are not satisfiable and they have to think about that ?

Some experts believe that this new law can be a tool for monitoring the internet users to put more limitation on that , as the law says that information must keep for 3 month after the data sent or received by the internet clients to the internet service providers .

Internet proxy users in Iran

Using the internet proxy is increasing day by day through the internet users in Iran , internet censorship is the main reason behind that specially after the election , even people in Iran cannot get connected to the Facebook , It's because of the policy that Facebook has , it allows to every one to does any activity through the Facebook . One of these activities is political activities that Iranian did during the election and after that .

Following link shows 2 diagrams that explain the increasing of using the proxy from one of servers before and after the election .
