Anonymous Strikes Back, Hacks "Internet Security" Firm

[thahat]

I fucking love Anon's sense of poetic justice, it's just so hilarious to watch

Also your move FBI... Your move...

for some reason, I read that and I instantly pictured Sam Fisher and both red and blue Third Echelons infiltrating into a facility and setting bombs into anonymous' main servers

also, you keep on taunting FBI

they might even create shodan just to take them down

jesus what the fuck is going on in my mind

Man that would awesome, pity the next move will probably be something like "FBI captures 50 Anon members who forgot to mask their IP address"

Then Anon will do something else fucking awesome like hacking the American President's Facebook account and changing his status to I suk ballzzzz... Shit now i really want that to happen...

'mask their ip adress'
is that even possible for DDos attacks? isent ddosing more like a child continually teling you his name and thats the thing tha drives you mad and lets you jump off a cliff XD?

 

[Patton662]

War on drugs, war on terrorism, war on anonymous. USA loves war doesn't it ?

 

[havass]

I don't care for Anonymous nor the "Internet Security" firm, but this is a damn good show to watch.

More like them and 30k of their buddies yelling "what?" over and over at you. But, yeah, no, it's really not possible to conceal your IP address during a DDOS except by not participating in it. Though part of the point is that a lot of the attackers are unwitting.

That is not true (unless you are talking about the zombie botnets), DDoS protesters are informed on ways to show another IP other then their own. Things like using a free VPN service or a public wireless network. They are also reminded of this.

From IRC:

Remember that DDoS IS illegal, and don't get cocky, protect yourselves

 

[Captain Pancake]

Malignant narcissist if I ever heard of one. Definitely fits the 'Magnificent bastard' trope though.

 

[Blazeaga]

Strake sorry i'm not good at quoting yet but what u said to addicted muffin was both knowledgeable and informed, i thank you for writing it and i am more informed and see more sides to it, thank you and keep at it my own opinon i dont think they are the worst type of people but i dont think they are bad guys either

 

[Jack Macaque]

Deserves a /owned. It's great to see people standing up for themselves, I'd like to see where this goes.

 

[sosolidshoe]

I can't wait till life bites these stupid kids in the ass.

When the government decides to start pushing ISPs to police their users activities, you can all thank this group of would-be e-vigilantes.

The phrase of the day is; "counter productivity".

Don't be an idiot, governments have been trying to force a complete takeover of ISP's since the internet fucking began, all that's changed is they've now hired PR people who can convince Joe Moron that it's for his own good. Piracy hurts content producers! - apart from the new study in Japan showing that piracy helps DVD sales. Wikileaks is spying on our government! - yes, and the government spies on us, and the tabloids spy on everybody, wikileaks is just evening the playing field. Anonymous are....anonymous, and that's bad! - No, that's very, very good. I may not agree with everything they do, but they're a net-benefit in every term other than publicity for 'net culture.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Ok them hunting someone down, alright illegal but go ahead.
But compromising someones private life is out of the question. They aren't just proving a point anymore, they are being a dickheads who so fight for their anonymity by revealing others.

Like I said before they are fighting against nuclear bombs by detonating one. They are hypocrites, they have gone strain from their original idea.

 

[InsanityBaronOfAtrocity]

Exactly. Persecute people for trolling and this is what you get. CRY MOAR. Fully behind anon on this. Grind these fuckers into the ground, destroy everything they have.

 

[SinisterGehe]

wow anonymous really needs to be taken out there too dangerous and too good at what they do

They never harmed anyone physically. They just wreck parties, that's all.

Expect now that they reveled a personal information of Barr. Hes identity can be stolen now and used to destroy hes life. In my opinion that is hurting someone.
Whats point of fighting for anonymity if you keep exposing the anonymity of others. Talk about fighting against nuclear weapons by detonating one.

 

[eTe]

True, but I'm sure the identities of the members he sold to the govt hurt them too.

We need people like this, why should the govt keep everything hush-hush? End of the day, we pay for everything they do. Without a populace, they are nothing.

unless you feel like forcing another computer to do it for you... say a family pc?

 

[STE3L]

the American government is fighting a uphill battle on this one... as the whole idea of Anonymous is that there are no personal details, there are no names or faces, no records or bank accounts. the point is to create a current to pull the general population. Ddos all the way to full server takeovers... you can not stop it. to take a line form C&C: Generals "there is always a way in", now Wether it means going to the server and smashing it to bits or by swarming it with simultaneous hacks... you can't stop a river just by telling it to. I myself do not condemn them or there recent/past and hopefully future actions, as long as they do not drop innocent names about. let wikileaks live, for if you dream yourself my master... I will up 'n arms.

Very noble, and very incorrect.

There are bank accounts, not of the organization, but of the members, there are email accounts, there were accounts on the IRC server, data from which, that is now sitting in a federal evidence locker. There is information, there is lots of it, and what Anonymous claims will set it free is in fact the very thing that will damn it irrevocably. The freedom of information they champion will come back and bite them as it's used against them in a court of law. The countries they sought to "enlighten" will stomp on information harder than before. No one will learn anything, their crusade will make things far worse for everyone, and people will destroy their own lives in the process with no benefit to anyone.

So, as I said, very noble of you, but sadly very misguided as well.

thank you, but all the same, if we cant trust each other with information... why should we have it at all.

 

[Agrael]

Copy paste from his Twitter:

(also I suck cocks and am a sweaty ballsack of caterpillars) oh shit not supposed to be in his account still, sorry Aaron *hops off*

I laughed... bad...

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Hahahaha.

Anon, I applaud you.

To all those who look down upon them: what happens when big brother sets in? Anon isn't actually hurting anyone, and they're opposing somebody who's trying to force their 'power' over the rest. I say good show.

So when the fascist machines come rolling in, you'll find me underground, underwater or in space. Because I'm sure as hell not being a mindless slave.

 

[ROOTminus1]

I'm anti-extremist for any political movement, but when in the western world, mass demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people are routinely ignored as a 'token gesture' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQLOj_-lyZI&feature=related], governments need to be hit where it hurts them, and Anon are the only group I see doing that

Hundreds of thousands, do not even come remotely close to comprising the majority of the US, not even a large minority. What you need to realize is, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you can take the law into your own hands. I'm going to enjoy watching Anon members get picked off left and right. The more they piss of major Governments, the more they're going to find out just how 'Anonymous' they really are.

Should be quite amusing.

Oh yeah, I don't deny that what they're doing is a bad idea, in the end it's just gonna make it worse off for everyone, as governments get uber-paranoid of their position of power.
As the cold war didn't change anything for the better, I think it will take a full zombie apocalypse to make any real changes to the system

 

[AnonOperations]

Realize this: Any anon in these protests that has any clue, knows how to make themselves anonymous.

I will be surprised to see any real verdicts or charges on anons. Its like trying to charge 1 person in the civil rights protests for blocking access to several businesses.

From IRC:

I would hope everyone in here is prepared to go to trial with their heads held high, if it comes to that.

If you do get v&, don't worry, we are working on securing strong legal council for Anons
