Anonymous, an amorphous band of hackers best known for rallying against the Church of Scientology, has jumped into Iranian election dispute. Working with The Pirate Bay--a massively trafficked site which helps point would-be music downloaders to what they're looking for--Anonymous Iran has created a new site, offering how-tos on surfing online while remaining untrackable, skirting Iranian firewalls, finding other Twitter-based activists and (of course, given that this is Anonymous) attacking government Web sites.
Anonymous isn't alone of course: Several guides to internet etiquette when helping the Iranian movement have been posted online.
