How Occupy Wall Street Is Building Its Own Internet [VIDEO]

Protesters at Zuccotti Park have enough resources to satisfy a small village: hot food, live entertainment, even a library.

But perhaps their most effective resource comes from a nine-foot-high pole known as the “Freedom Tower”, usually stationed at the southwest corner of the park and currently being redesigned to run on batteries charged by a biodiesel generator.

It’s free WiFi, but not as you know it.

Anonymous email slams rogue group over in-fighting

An alleged Anonymous member has spoken out about internal power struggles, accusing some inside the 'hacktivist' collective of perverting its aims and pursuing personal grudges.

The allegations have been made in an email sent by 'Shitstorm' an individual claiming to be a member of Anonymous, to IT news website The Inquirer.

The message follows a post on website Pastebin criticising an Anonymous admin group, AnonOps, for being too closed and no longer standing for free speech. Naturally, AnonOps felt the need to respond, with spokesperson 'Shitstorm' taking it upon him/herself to put the word out.

"AnonOps started a year ago as something great. A place where all kinds could come to try and make a difference, or just chat."

"However, even after the network first started there was a few kids who had a personal grudge... Regardless of what they claim, or say, this is what caused all this drama, a grudge carried from over a year ago that has since spiralled out of control... The kids on the network formerly known as skidsr.us love drama and attention, therefore they stir up all this to keep themselves in the limelight."

One of the accusations aimed at Shitstorm was that AnonOps was a closed off collective of power-hungry moderators, banning new users and keeping a compliant circle of IRC users around them. Of course, Mr Storm responded:

"Yes we have trolls, yes some stupid OPs banned noobs, sure there is some arrogant users. Skidsr.us say we don't allow free speech when we ban the trolls, but when we don't you say we have too many trolls."

"This entire opening statement in the pastebin is a farce, if anyone goes to their IRC you will see that they are the most arrogant, judgmental, condescending pr**ks you will ever meet. Do not be fooled by their claims. They simply want to have control for themselves, as demonstrated time and time again. When you're only 17 like some of them are, you will lie to get your way."

Internal strife isn't new among the ranks of Anons. Earlier this year, Anonymous's operations were hit when former moderator 'Ryan' - Essex teenager Ryan Cleary, who has since been arrested by UK police on suspicion of involvement in various hacking attacks - seized control of AnonOps' main domain, AnonOps.net, sparking a feud between rival factions.

This renewed outbreak of in-fighting comes at a difficult time for Anonymous, with the collective's original spawning ground 4Chan being hit with a massive DDoS that kept the site down for several days, and Occupy Wall Street movement, of which Anonymous is a vocal supporter, being ousted from New York's Zuccotti park at the same time as the imageboard hack.

Anonymous - System Failure

quote:

Citizens of the world.
We are Anonymous.

We have been monitoring the events currently taking place. The decision made by the New York Police Department and the city of New York displeases us. A city cannot have the power to destroy the people's right to free speech and assembly.

We've been called by various supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement for our help. We will not disappoint them. We shall continue to target New York Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman until he repeals his decision and allows the protesters to return to camp in Zuccotti Park.

In addition, we have decided to take drastic measures in ensuring that this happens. We have released Justice Michael Stallman's private information as well as others supporting his decision.

Citizens of the world, hear us now. The time has come to rise up. It is time to rise up against the system. The system has now met its match, and the people shall prevail. We will participate in this war. There will be no stopping us. If the government presents a threat to us, they will expect no mercy. We shall terminate this system, indefinitely.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.

Hackers announce cyber attack on HDZ

Two groups of hackers have announced a "cyber attack" against Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) because of their "lies and betrayal of national interest," they say on their website.

Anonymous and TeslaSecurity (@TeslaSec) groups said they would start the "operation" on 19 November at 12pm.

"Anonymous will attack the Croatian Democratic Union for corruption, lies, selling off state assets and the betrayal of Croatian citizens and their national interests," the groups say on their website.

#OccupySocialMedia: GO Launches A Mobile App For Anonymous Photo & Video Sharing

GO is new mobile application for the iPhone that allows users to broadcast and share photos, videos and commentary with others and post them to a live streaming portal. The app offers real-time access to geo-located, tagged media presented in both a stream and map view. But does the world need another mobile/social/photo-sharing experience? Well, maybe it does.

You see, there’s something different about GO that separates it from the rest: it supports complete anonymity. To be clear, it doesn’t just offer the option to use some clever Web handle instead of an authenticated user account – it actually offers the option to post as “anonymous.” #OccupySocialMedia? Oh yes.

In terms of the app’s design, you’re either going to love it or hate it. The app is damn pretty, maybe even a little too pretty, with its overly stylized look-and-feel that can sometimes get in the way of what could be a simpler user experience. I happen to think GO looks hot, but you may think otherwise. To each their own.

As for the functionality itself, it’s nothing earth-shattering: post, tag, share. However, when you tap the big pink sharing button, GO offers you the option to “snap” (post a photo), “shoot” (video) or “speak” (audio). It’s a trio of options for media input that your favorite take a picture/apply a filter photo-sharing app may not have.

What’s really interesting is GO’s anonymity option, though, which is a key part of the new mobile app’s experience. When the majority of today’s apps are bending over backwards to offer you sign-in options that let you speed up the authentication process via Facebook or Twitter, with GO, self-identification is an option, not a requirement. And while that may lead to users who are probably not “MarkZuckerberg” (yep, he joined), it doesn’t really matter. GO isn’t about boosting your ego via likes and shares, “connecting with friends,” or sharing pictures with your family – it’s about instant mobile broadcasting. It’s about documenting the world without having to disclose that you did so.

Despite it’s relatively soft launch (GO went live 11-11-11 without much fanfare), there are already some interesting videos surfacing from the OccupyWallSt movement for whom GO seems custom-built. Of course, GO isn’t the first tool to serve the needs of the this crowd. Apps like the Twitter-esque Vibe have also served the Occupy protesters well in the past. But Vibe is ugly and is mainly used for text. GO does more.

Despite its differentiating features, GO will still suffer from the same disadvantage that any newcomer to the photo/video-sharing space does at first: critical mass. However, assuming the need for tools to anonymously document the world don’t die with today’s OccupyWallSt shut-downs, there may be a future for GO yet.

GO is the first product from Hollr (not to be confused with Holler), which was founded by Michael Bachman and Justin Dionisio. The two were previously the directors at KURO, a boutique interactive agency based in Long Beach. Hollr has some seed stage investment from Imprint Venture Lab, but won’t disclose the amount.

Facebook Knows Porn/Gore Hacker

Facebook has identified the hacker responsible for the flood pornographic and “extreme” violent images over the last week, reports ZDNet. And they say the attacker is not a member of the hacktivist organization Anonymous, originally suspected by several news agencies.

Those unfortunate enough to have been exposed to the hack would have seen “hardcore porn images, Photoshopped photos of celebrities such as Justin Bieber in sexual situations, pictures of extreme violence, and even a photograph of an abused dog,” according to Internet security firm Sophos.

A statement given by Facebook to ZDNet on Monday suggested the attacks were due to a self-XSS [cross-site scripting] browser vulnerability. Hackers have been known to insert malicious code into browser actions, bypassing security and giving them direct access to page data. But this is all done with the unwitting assistance of the victim, who must be tricked to copy the code into their own browser's URL bar.

Sophos warns that a common technique to trick users into pasting the code is to ask them a question implicating them in some way, such as “Why are you tagged in this video?”

Dear citizens of the internet,
Citizens of free speech,
Citizens of the United States,

We are Anonymous.

Over the past month we have been examining the actions taken by the United States Chamber.

We have paid close attention to one new bill in particular, the Protect IP act.

This bill would allow the United States Government to force ISP’s and search engines to censor websites they do not like under the guise of “copyright protection”. Instead of reducing piracy, this bill endangers the free flow of information. Through Domain seizures, ISP blockades, search engine censorship, and the restriction of funding to accused websites, this bill takes internet censorship to a new level.

The internet is a place where anyone and everyone can come together freely to share information and opinions. The freedom the internet provides has served us well, and driven our intellectual progress, sparked revolutions and changed the lives of many, all of which has been accomplished without the interference of corporations, governments, or any other global institutions until now.

We must unite and stand up to those who wish to censor the internet.
We must protect what is rightfully ours.
We must attack in defense of our homeland.

You are Anonymous
You are Legion
You can not forgive
You can not forget
United States chamber,

Andy Baio: Think You Can Hide, Anonymous Blogger? Two Words: Google Analytics

Last month, an anonymous blogger popped up on WordPress and Twitter, aiming a giant flamethrower at Mac-friendly writers like John Gruber, Marco Arment and MG Siegler. As he unleashed wave after wave of spittle-flecked rage at “Apple puppets” and “Cupertino douchebags,” I was reminded again of John Gabriel’s theory about the effects of online anonymity.

Out of curiosity, I tried to see who the mystery blogger was.

He was using all the ordinary precautions for hiding his identity — hiding personal info in the domain record, using a different IP address from his other sites, and scrubbing any shared resources from his WordPress install.

Nonetheless, I found his other blog in under a minute — a thoughtful site about technology and local politics, detailing his full name, employer, photo, and family information. He worked for the local government, and if exposed, his anonymous blog could have cost him his job.

I didn’t identify him publicly, but let him quietly know that he wasn’t as anonymous as he thought he was. He stopped blogging that evening, and deleted the blog a week later.

So, how did I do it? The unlucky blogger slipped up and was ratted out by an unlikely source: Google Analytics.

Hiding messages in VoIP packets

A group of researchers from the Institute of Telecommunications of the Warsaw University of Technology have devised a relatively simple way of hiding information within VoIP packets exchanged during a phone conversation.

They called the method TranSteg, and they have proved its effectiveness by creating a proof-of-concept implementation that allowed them to send 2.2MB (in each direction) during a 9-minute call.

Google is watching you

Wie goed oplette, zag eergisteren een advertentie van internetzoekmachine Google op nrc.nl voorbijkomen. Eén van het type waar bedrijven nooit zo happig op zijn, namelijk het aanbieden van een opt-out om ergens van verschoond te blijven. Ofwel: u kunt hier uw gegevens uit onze bestanden laten verwijderen.

Dit is met een dwangsom van een miljoen euro afgedwongen door het College Bescherming Persoonsgegevens (CBP). Google biedt deze opt-out nu wereldwijd aan. Het CBP te Den Haag dwingt de multinational uit Californië dus tot een andere koers.

Ook dat is globalisering – een toezichthouder in een klein land kan ver reiken. De kwestie loog er niet om. De camera-auto’s van Google, die tussen 2008 en 2010 Nederlandse straten en huizen fotografeerden voor de dienst Streetview, bleken ook maar even alle wifi-routers te hebben afgeluisterd. Zo werden 3,6 miljoen Nederlandse draadloze internetzenders geïdentificeerd, met de adresgegevens van de aangesloten computers, plus de locatie ervan op de kaart.

Daarmee maakte Google zich schuldig aan het verzamelen van persoonsgegevens zonder toestemming van de betrokkenen. Dat is een wetsovertreding. In Duitsland was dat eerder al ontdekt. Mogelijk wacht Google daar strafrechtelijke vervolging.

Frankrijk legde al eens een ton boete op. Het CBP mag in Nederland nog steeds niet verder gaan dan een voorwaardelijke dwangsom, waar Google zich in 2009 tegen verzette. Het CBP verwierp de bezwaren en legde een dwangsom op. Met succes. Pas toen verontschuldigde Google zich, erkende de fout en kiest nu voor een drastische aanpassing van het privacybeleid. Iedere gebruiker kan nu door het toevoegen van ‘no map’ aan de naam van zijn internetrouter uit de database van Google blijven.

The New York Times noemt het nieuwe beleid van Google een royale concessie aan Den Haag. Google moet worden geprezen om de correcte uitvoering van het CBP-oordeel, zelfs wereldwijd. Dat privacy-toezichthouders elders zich ook hebben geroerd, speelt uiteraard mee.

Hoe makkelijk internetgebruikers er soms ook zelf mee omspringen, privacy blijft een kernwaarde. Het recht om onbespied te kunnen leven is een waarborg tegen de macht van overheden en bedrijven. Wie leeft zonder privacy stelt zich ook open voor permanent toezicht, is altijd vindbaar en commercieel beschikbaar. Wie dat wil moet daarvoor kiezen, of er van weg kunnen blijven.

Inmiddels vindt een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer dat Google nu tevoren toestemming moet vragen: van opt-out naar opt-in dus. Dat zou nog mooier zijn. Maar de kans dat Google dat invoert lijkt niet zo groot.

Victory for Net Neutrality

Your phone calls, emails and persistence have paid off: Today the Senate voted down the resolution that would have shuttered the open Internet.

This outrageous measure would have stripped us of our right to communicate freely online and handed control of the Internet to companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon.

But the public outcry stopped this resolution in its tracks. And thanks to your efforts, not only did we win the vote, but Net Neutrality’s champions in Congress spoke out passionately and persuasively about the importance of the free and open Internet.

Now that we’ve thwarted this partisan stunt, we can get back to the real priority: strengthening the Federal Communications Commission’s rules to protect all Internet users, whether they access the Web via a home connection or a mobile device.

The FCC’s new rules go into effect on Nov. 20. But these rules fail to protect mobile Internet users from corporate abuse. As more and more of us use phones and tablets to get online, we need to make sure that all Internet users are protected.

In the months to come, the Free Press Action Fund will push the FCC to make its Open Internet rules much stronger — even if that means going to court, where we are suing the agency for failing to protect all Internet users.

Today’s Senate vote is a major victory for the public and sends a resounding message: The American people don’t want companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon blocking websites or interfering with our ability to access whatever we want, whenever we want it, from wherever we are.

The fight for the free and open Internet is far from over. I hope you’ll stay with us.

#AntiSec Fuck FBI Friday V - Cybercrime Investigator Communications

quote:

Greetings Pirates, and welcome to another exciting #FuckFBIFriday release.

As part of our ongoing effort to expose and humiliate our white hat enemies, we targeted a Special Agent Supervisor of the CA Department of Justice in charge of computer crime investigations. We are leaking over 38,000 private emails which contain detailed computer forensics techniques, investigation protocols as well as highly embarrassing personal information. We are confident these gifts will bring smiles to the faces of our black hat brothers and sisters (especially those who have been targeted by these scurvy dogs) while also making a mockery of "security professionals" who whore their "skills" to law enforcement to protect tyrannical corporativism and the status quo we aim to destroy.

We hijacked two gmail accounts belonging to Fred Baclagan, who has been a cop for 20 years, dumping his private email correspondence as well as several dozen voicemails and SMS text message logs. While just yesterday Fred was having a private BBQ with his CATCHTEAM high computer crime task force friends, we were reviewing their detailed internal operation plans and procedure documents. We also couldn't overlook the boatloads of embarrassing personal information about our cop friend Fred. We lulzed as we listened to angry voicemails from his estranged wives and ex-girlfriends while also reading his conversations with girls who responded to his "man seeking woman" craigslist ads. We turned on his google web history and watched him look up linux command line basics, golfing tutorials, and terrible youtube music videos. We also abused his google voice account, making sure Fred's friends and family knew how hard he was owned. Possibly the most interesting content in his emails are the IACIS.com internal email list archives (2005-2011) which detail the methods and tactics cybercrime
units use to gather electronic evidence, conduct investigations and make
arrests. The information in these emails will prove essential to those who want to protect themselves from the techniques and procedures cyber crime
investigators use to build cases. If you have ever been busted for computer
crimes, you should check to see if your case is being discussed here. There are discussions about using EnCase forensic software, attempts to crack TrueCrypt encrypted drives, sniffing wireless traffic in mobile surveillance vehicles, how to best prepare search warrants and subpoenas, and a whole lot of clueless people asking questions on how to use basic software like FTP.

These cybercrime investigators are supposed to be the cream of the crop, but we reveal the totality of their ignorance of all matters related to computer
security. For months, we have owned several dozen white hat and law enforcement targets-- getting in and out of whichever high profile government and corporate system we please and despite all the active FBI investigations and several billion dollars of funding, they have not been able to stop us or get anywhere near us. Even worse, they bust a few dozen people who are allegedly part of an "anonymous computer hacking conspiracy" but who have only used kindergarten-level DDOS tools-- this isn't even hacking, but a form of electronic civil disobedience.

We often hear these "professionals" preach about "full-disclosure," but we are
sure these people are angrily sending out DMCA takedown notices and serving subpoenas as we speak. They call us criminals, script kiddies, and terrorists, but their entire livelihood depends on us, trying desperately to study our techniques and failing miserably at preventing future attacks. See we're cut from an entirely different kind of cloth. Corporate security professionals like
Thomas Ryan and Aaron Barr think they're doing something noble by "leaking" the public email discussion lists of Occupy Wall Street and profiling the "leaders" of Anonymous. Wannabe player haters drop shitty dox and leak partial chat logs about other hackers, doing free work for law enforcement. Then you got people like Peiter "Mudge" Zatko who back in the day used to be old school l0pht/cDc only now to sell out to DARPA going around to hacker conventions encouraging others to work for the feds. Let this be a warning to aspiring white hat "hacker" sellouts and police collaborators: stay out the game or get owned and exposed. You want to keep mass arresting and brutalizing the 99%? We'll have to keep owning your boxes and torrenting your mail spools, plastering your personal information all over teh internets.

Hackers, join us and rise up against our common oppressors - the white hats, the 1%'s 'private' police, the corrupt banks and corporations and make 2011 the year of leaks and revolutions!

We are Anti-Security,
We are the 99%
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect Us!
