Hacker Deathmatch

trazer985I wonder if people are actually considering what this shows.

Computers control the world. Not in a skynet terminator scenario, but EVERYTHING you depend on is managed by a computer, from your power systems to your phone lines to your defence networks and your bank accounts.

Now imagine if someone else got control of those.

These people doing this hacking, are young. no doubt about it. Imagine what they could do after 5-10 more years of experience and training, or what even those that have been doing this for a period of time. Your dependence on the systems you created, is protected solely by the people that put the protection on, i.e. the computer security companies. Check out their base salaries + bonus. You think that attracts the best people? Now how safe do you feel.

I support these groups, not just for the message they carry, but they will show the western world how vulnerable they are before a militaristic state does it for them.

I grew up on internet forums that were populated by the sort of guys who were comparable to these guys, though at an earlier time. Many of them were similarly immature, and with the 6 years since I originally started going on those sites, I can give a progress report. Of the guys who I started talking to on a regular basis, one is extremely successful, having been kicked out of high school at 16, not having his own company, ~90k revs this year and a couple of part time employees. He is the exception. Another, who was also forcibly removed from his high school, spent several years wandering around most of the continent and was the last I heard in prison for being found having crashed a car after being high on heroine. He makes a bunch of money as a sales rep for a software company. Another guy tried/didnt enlist in the air force, and now is a failure. One is a law student, and a moron. Hell probably be one of the many that is forced to go in to shitty legal contracting, which I feel for. There are several more mid 30-40 year old guys w/ varying levels of professionalism, but in general they either mellow out or burn out. Most have little in the ways of computer skills now, and were just drawn in by very simple/easy to install programs like Back Orifice. These people are antisocial fruits. They write rubbish like this:

They are generally not a threat, their patience doesn't allow them the ability to be.

lxwarr30Go to @LulzSec on twitter. He said these are false claims. Then he retweeted a comment by Anon saying this was false as well.

trazer985...they will show the western world how vulnerable they are before a militaristic state does it for them.

BarcadiaI went onto the deep web once and from the hidden wiki I found some 'anonymous' website, I was reading through some insane manifesto when my DVD drive started making noise as if it was attempting to read something and then some text boxes popped up notifying me that a script was incoming, so I took the battery out of my laptop because my computer wasn't responding.

And that was my brush with Anonymous.

lol!

eokpar02I hate how people call these low level individuals "hackers". They just use servers to inundate servers with requests.

If you want to start parsing out the terminology I believe the black hat hacker would technically be called a 'cracker' (no joke here) but these guys are calling themselves hacktivists.

Just like the average person doesn't have any clue what the difference between ECM or DCM is and only knows the term 'banker' - so it is with this type of thing: 'hacker' is the main stream catch all.
