Zapatista Tribal Port Scan
Read about the Zapatista Tribal Port Scan (ZTPS)
The Zapatista Tribal Port Scan (ZTPS) uses the Java Virtual Machine available in all standard web browsers. The participating user simply visits the web site URL of a ZTPS implementation, and the scanning begins. Designed to be opened in a smallish browser window and minimized for all day scanning at home, work, or school, the ZTPS applet will scan a random port on a particular machine, from once per minute to once per hour. Using both TCP and UDP socket connections, ZTPS may be configured to randomly select from a list of text messages, some of which may be logged by targeted machines. (Messages flying over the fence.) A download button in the applet interface makes it easy for users to download ready-to-implement software, and full source code for their own purposes.ZTPS effectiveness improves with the number of participating user/activists, so collective participation, as always, is very important.
All copyrights for ZTPS are with the Electronic Disturbance Theater. This is just a redistribution of the original software by KELLERASSELN with the intention to bring it back to the public conscience.
The target of this port scan is the Norte Energia
(
Link to the target) consortium. The Norte Energia consortium
constructed and now operates the Belo Monte mega dam
in the Amazon.
The Norte Energia consortium is controlled by the Brazilian state-owned power
company Electrobas, which directly (15%) and through its
subsidiaries Eletronorte (19.98%) and CHESF (15%) controls a 49.98% stake in
the consortium.
The mining giants Alcoa and Vale
have a major interest in the mega dam. Voith Hydro, a joint venture between
German firms Voith and Siemens, supplied
four turbines, four generators, electrical and mechanical auxiliaries, the
automation system and the complete engineering services for Belo Monte.
The Belo Monte hydroelectric complex in Brazil was approved in 2005 despite
the absence of the legally required environmental impact assessment and
consultations with affected populations. The government violated indigenous
communities right to free, prior and informed consent.
Netzdemo Portal protests against Belo Monte and other mega dams the in Amazon
region.

The ZTPS Applet is a signed applet that runs safely in a "sandbox".
You need to do two things before running the ZTPS Applet in your web browser:
1. Make changes in the Java Control Panel:
2. Make changes in the java.policy file:
https://bsite.net
Open the java.policy file located in the subfolder
lib\security inside the Java Runtime Environment folder.
The JRE is normally installed in C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre{version}.
Add the following string to the grant section
grant {
....
// Allow ZTPS applet to connect to target
permission java.net.SocketPermission "66.96.162.148:*", "connect, accept ,resolve, listen";
}
Then save the file (you need to be Administrator for this).
Restart your browser and come back to this page.
It may take a few minutes until Java Applet is loaded.
When you are asked whether you want to run this application,
accept the risk and press "Run".
When you are asked whether to block potentially unsafe content
press "Don't block".
You might be asked a second time whether you want to run this
application. Click "Run".
The ZTPS applet displays messages such as "no connection"
or "no reply" ...
Well, this is a good sign, they show that the port scanning is ongoing.
Note: Running Java applets does not work with TOR proxy.
Java Applets do not run in Google Chrome browser.
