"Nb. The 'ctunnel.com' reference in the browser screen shots is to a proxy
service used to prevent the activists from being traced."

  That intrigued me, so I browsed to ctunnel.com.  Not being the
default-script-running type, I got a blank page, except for the html title
"Ctunnel.com will protect your anonymity on the internet, helping you evade
url and ip filters!".  So I looked at the source, and it's full of stuff like
....

  Now.  I haven't decoded and read this yet, but I recognise that XYYZ://
pattern anywhere.

  So let me see if I've guessed this right: it's a proxy that rewrites all
your URLs in rot-13?  And this is supposed to "protect your anonymity"?

  Those activists are screwed.  They better get out of the country PDQ.
Pardon me, but I'll be sticking with proper mix chains for now.



  Oh, and TRWTF?  The decoder function is pretty FAIL:

function base64(src)
{
	var dst=new String('') ; var len=src.length ; var b ; var t=new
String('') ; if(len > 0) { for(var ctr=0; ctr<len ; ctr++) {
b=src.charCodeAt(ctr); if( ( (b>64) && (b<78) ) || ( (b>96) && (b<110) ) ) {
b=b+13; } else { if( ( (b>77) && (b<91) ) || ( (b>109) && (b<123) ) ) {
b=b-13; } } t=String.fromCharCode(b) ; dst=dst.concat(t) ;} }
	return dst;
}


    cheers,
