“WikiLeaks is currently under heavy attack,” the site said in a
message
posted yesterday. “In order to make it impossible to ever fully
remove
WikiLeaks from the Internet, we need your help. If you have a Unix-
based
server which is hosting a website on the Internet and you want to
give
WikiLeaks some of your hosting resources, you can help!”
The procedure to follow is detailed at this page:
http://wikileaks.ch/mass-mirror.html
- Set up an account where WikiLeaks can upload files using RSYNC+SSH
(preferred) or FTP
- Put the WikiLeaks SSH key in this server or create an FTP account
- Create a virtual host in your web server, which, for example, can
be
wikileaks.yourdomain.com, send the IP address of your server to
WikiLeaks, and the path where WikiLeaks should upload the content (by
filling in a form on this page).
WikiLeaks adds that it will take care of all the rest, sending pages
to
your server and updating them each time data is released.
A mirror site is an exact copy of the original site, offering the
same
information and the same files. Mirror sites are created in order to
distribute the bandwidth load and facilitate large numbers of
simultaneous downloads. It eases the load on the server hosting the
main
site by distributing it around the mirror sites.
According to the latest reports, WikiLeaks is accessible
at
http://www.wikileaks.ch
, a Swiss website address operated by the Swiss
Pirate Party, a political group that estimates that it is getting
3,000
visits a second. Hundreds of mirror sites have already been created.
