I'm not sure what we're looking at there, but it's something I probably shouldn't have clicked on.

Last time I checked reverse engineering forums weren't forbidden by the thought police.

not yet.

Hey easy on the hot keywords we are all gonna get flagged by the thought police.

The thought police flag anyone who thinks about the thought police.

Maybe we should do what they do in china when speaking on such topics… idea sentries has a nice ring.

Yeah, I really would have appreciated some warning for that.

...why? Because it's arabic? Ooohhh, scary arabic. Or they're talking about spies and bombs? Don't we talk about those things on hacker news too? I can't read it, I'm working my way through the google translation and just starting, so maybe it's all "bad" stuff, but to be honest, I hope iranians can shed some light on what our government is doing - the US government itself certainly isn't going to help with that.

You know, I feel the same way. They may be our enemies and want to destroy us, but being able to see their side of things is refreshing. We can't continue to act like we're the perfect country and everyone else is 100% evil. It's not that simple.

He actually has a point, sadly. Visiting a "Jihadist" website, based on some arbitrary definition and interpretation from some cyber freedom fighter in DC, VA, or MD, is enough to get your "metadata" added to their graphs. You think Iranian sites with posts about hacking the US aren't on that list? I don't. It's not enough to get you a visit from the feds or anything, but it's almost certain that any competent intell…

It's not enough to get you a visit from the feds or anything, but it's almost certain that any competent intelligence agency is storing anything that touches that website. Whoever posted it likely has links in their social graph to very high value targets.

It makes me wonder, if one were to inject an 0x0 iframe with this site on a decently trafficked page (a couple hundred visitors per day) that tends to attract a niche, one could potentially create more noise?

That page is so incredibly foreign to me - right justified, stuff from right appears on left, things from top on bottom etc. I'm surprised how striking I found it.

I felt the same way the first time I saw an Arabic-English restaurant menu . The symmetry of the juxtaposition of the two typesetting schemes is quite elegant and striking. E.G., see here http://www.flickr.com/photos/denon/3563523851/

It's (obvious but still) cool to see how the more information-dense items are long in both sides!

All I see are two images of nondescript buildings and cars labeled "FLIR Systems". Would an actual drone image used for reconnaissance over hostile territory waste a bunch of screen area on the manufacturer name of the camera?

Also, there's some censored text in the upper left. I suspect that's the date and time.

My guess is these pictures were lifted from promotional material like the "MicroSTAR" sheet just below it.

Referer headers would make that sort of thing easy to filter out, so chances are that they're already doing so.
