30 August 2010. Add message from A. Add message from A2. Cryptome: Because the information in this file is readily accessible, Wikileaks surely has more covert and secure means of communication. Hiding among the gullible and innocent is a hoary tactic and strategy, although it causes collateral murder. 29 August 2010 Wikileaks Mail Reverse Retrieved 29 August 2010 Most of these domains redirect to a mirror of the Wikileaks.org home page. Other redirects: apple-me.de, apple-memory.de, wikileaks.to, et al. The 18 various citizen-q-usa domains were apparently registered in June 2010. http://www.robtex.com/ip/88.80.13.160.html#graph IP: 88.80.13.160

A writes: Checking the ownership of domains (or parent domains) that point to the Wikileaks web server reveals the following cast of characters. Whether these people are actually involved in Wikileaks, or whether the domains have been serreptitiously registered in their names and/or sneakily pointed to the Wikileaks server to implicate them fairly or unfairly, is unknown. Many of the domains, including ones for which ownership could not be traced, have their DNS controlled by afraid.org servers. Josh Anderson, who runs afraid.org, mentions Wikileaks on his Twitter.

Cryptome could do the same by creating "wikileaks.cryptome.org" and pointing it to 88.80.13.160. Heck, you could use 198.81.129.125 (cia.gov). Whatever. Just making sure you know. Afraid.org is a free "subdomain service" that lets you pick a subdomain on a top level domain (mooo.com is one, but there's a plethora of others to choose from), and point it to an IP-address of choice. This is mostly used by people that don't have their own domain or, say, have an internet connection with a dynamic IP-address that changes every couple of days. There are scripts that automatically update their "afraid.org" (or anything else offered by "afraid.org") subdomain DNS-record, so that they will remain easily reachable even if their IP-address changes. Hence, I think it is highly unlikely that the owner of Afraid.org has *anything* to do with Wikileaks. The fact that he mentions Wikileaks on his Twitter account most probably means nothing, and is just coincidence (after all, more and more people mention Wikileaks and its media exposure has increased much lately). I am not sure about the other domains -- they seem a tad fishy, but again, anyone could point to the Wikileaks IP-address for any reason.
