Summary This book is a must read for all cyber security professionals It does not cover the entire Anonymous movement, but by focusing on the evolution of the Anonymous Franchise and the rise and fall of the LulzSec hacking group, Ms Olson captures the essence of the hacktivist culture and what motivates its supporters If you seek to understand the Hacktivist movement, this book is a primer Review The Anonymous Franchise really hit its stride between the years of 2010 and 2011 Hacktivism began earlier than that of course 1994 was the first documented case that I could find 12 , but it did not strike fear into the hearts of CEOs, CSOs and government officials until that two year run It was the perfect storm of technology, disenfranchised youngish people, Internet Pranks as an Art Form, empowerment and the hacking culture that came together into a gigantic hairball of activity and energy that caused governments from around the world to double-clutch on some of their more severe policies and caused business leaders to actually fear the impact to their bottom line Trying to understand that phenomena is quite the task and Parmy Olson, in her 2012 book, We Are Anonymous Inside the Hacker World of LulzSec, Anonymous and the Global Cyber Insurgency, is an apt guide Through unprecedented access to some of the core players on many of the more infamous operations, Olson is able to capture the essence of how the hacktivist movement got started in earnest, to describe the inevitable drama between competing factions and to provide insight into how this franchise operates I call it a franchise because Anonymous is not a club You do not pay dues You do not register your name, email account and twitter handle with anybody in power There is no singular power The Anonymous Franchise is more of an idea than an organization Hacktivists use that idea to get attention in the media and to get a reaction from the target they are pursuing For example, if I wanted to protest the US Senate s inability to pass gun-control legislation this year 2013 22 , I might write a scathing blog pointing out the dwarf-like physical characteristics of some of the key senators involved if I was a law-abiding white-hat citizen On the other hand, I might choose to go the other way and organize a Distributed Denial of Service DDOS attack against a few key senator s web pages or compromise the same senator s email accounts and publish their messages on a public site somewhere if I was willing to live on the lawless side wearing a black hat The point is that if I did those things, nobody would care Nobody on the planet knows who I am and all of those activities white hat and black hat would just register as part of the noise But, if I wrap myself around the trappings of the Anonymous Franchise the imagery, the youtube videos with Matrix-like voiceovers and the Twitter public relations campaigns I amplify the importance of my cause to the general public and clueless media outlets The Anonymous Franchise has heft By claiming to be a leader in the group, regardless if I am or not, I get instant recognition and have all the assumed powers that the public thinks the group has Genius Key Terms Ms Olson walks the reader through the history of how this franchise was built and does a really good job explaining the culture Below are just some of the concepts that are important to understanding the Anonymous phenomenon 4Chan A simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images anonymously 9 b One of the most popular boards on 4Chan with the most outrageous content a place where many Anonymous Franchise contributors hang out 10 Troll Bait Someone whose opinionated, volatile, easily offended, insecure nature makes them super-easy targets for pranks 21 Going after trolls is one of the common themes in 4Chan and the b forums Internet Relay Chat IRC simple, real-time chat system created in 1988 by a programmer named Jarkko WiZ Oikarinen IRC networks were helping Anonymous turn from an unpredictable, volatile mass of image board users into well-organized, sometimes-threatening groups 1 DDOS Distributed Denial of Service Attack Many computers launching packets at a single target in an effort to overwhelm the target and prevent it from functioning 23 LOIC Low Orbit Ion Cannon Created by Praetox, a software client that makes it easy for one user to be part of a DDOS campaign Anonymous Franchise tool of choice for a time 8 Anonymous supporters later deployed Mobile LOIC that allowed users to launch LOIC from their phone No client download needed 1 35 SQL Injection Attacks The hacker delivers SQL commands to web applications that accept client input Unprotected sites are vulnerable to outsiders reading sensitive database data, modifying database data or executing administration operations on the database 32 Guy Fawkes Anonymous Franchise Icon In history, an infamous conspirator activist to The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in which a group of Catholics attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill the King 7 Along the way, Olson scuttles a few of the Anonymous Franchise myths The main one is that not all contributors are elite hackers In fact, most are not Many of the Operation s leaders are, for sure, and some of them are quite skilled But most contributors that consider themselves part of the Anonymous movement are enthusiastic activists with a lot of Internet savvy They can run circles around the average Joe in terms of Internet communication, but not many have ever slung any real code Olson describes how the leaders of the more infamous operations Chanology, Payback, Freedom Ops, etc understood this and leveraged it They treated these enthusiastic activists as trolls, in some kind of perverse recursive prank, and made them think they were more important than they really were In the early days, leaders even provided the masses a tool, the Low Orbit Ion Cannon, which allowed them to easily participate in a DDOS raid of choice Of course, the developers of the Low Orbit Ion Cannon did not initially protect the users from prying eyes like the FBI Law Enforcement made many arrests 23 But the Anonymous PR machine kept churning proclaiming the success of the hacktivist masses against evil governments and commercial empires The dirty secret though was that as the targets got bigger PayPal, MasterCard, Visa , the effectiveness of the Low Orbit Ion Cannon, even with thousands of contributors, did not put a dent in the defenses of these well defended targets It was not until the leaders leveraged their own BotNets that these web sites were brought to their knees Of course, that was not the message the PR machine generated In order to completely leverage the Anonymous Franchise and get the attention of the media and the intended targets, they had to proclaim that the damage was being done by the Anonymous masses Olson calls this a mirage of power and scale 19 Open Source Hacktivism Milestones At the end of the book, Olson lists a comprehensive timeline of significant Hacktivist events I culled it down to the below list and supplemented it with arrest information of the core members of LulzSec since many were not arrested by the time Olson published her book November 5, 1994 First Documented Hacktivism A group called the Zippies launches a DDoS attack on UK government websites, taking them down for a week starting on Guy Fawkes Day 1 12 1996 Hacktivism Coined Cult of the Dead Cow cDc member, Omega, coins the word hacktivism characterizing the group's political philosophy 12 September 29, 2003 4Chan Created Christopher moot Poole registers 4channet It is now 4chanorg 1 12 July 12, 2006 Habbo Hotel Attack Users of 4chan s b raid Habbo Hotel, a virtual hangout for teens They join the online game en masse and flood it with avatars of a black man in a gray suit and an Afro hairstyle, blocking the entrance to the virtual pool and forming swastikas 1 January 21, 2008 Operation Chanology A handful of Chanology participants publish a video on YouTube of a robotic voice declaring war on Scientology This starts a multi-year campaign against the religious group 1 13 February 10, 2008 Guy Fawkes Masks Anonymous supporters don masks from the film, V for Vendetta, and hold protests outside Scientology centers in key cities around the world such as New York, London, and Dallas, Texas 1 14 September 17, 2010 Operation Payback Supporters of Anonymous launch a DDoS attack on Indian software company Aiplex after it admits to launching its own DDoS attacks on BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay Anonymous launches several more attacks against copyright companies under the banner Operation Payback Supporters collaborate on an array of IRC networks Tflow uses SQL injection for the first time under the Anonymous banner 1 15 Bottom of Form December 8, 2010 Transition from LOIC to Botnets AnonOps launches a DDoS attack on PayPalcom, MasterCardcom , and Visacom using 4,500 volunteers with LOIC but only becoming successful when one person using a botnet takes the site fully offline 1 Note Tflows use of SQL injection and the franchise s use of a Botnet marks the milestone where operation s leaders decide they can do more damage by moving away from crowd controlled DDOS attacks 2011 - 2012 Operation Tunisia Operation Freedom Ops OpTunisia was the first of what became the Freedom Ops, which focused largely on other Middle Eastern countries during the Arab Spring but spread much farther For the first time, Anonymous had gotten on the winning side of a real fight, and it liked the feeling 1 14 February 6, 2011 Aaron Barr Anonymous steals tens of thousands of Aaron Barr s corporate e-mails, private e-mails as well as those of two executives at sister company HBGary Inc It also takes over his Twitter feed and DDoSes and defaces his site HBGary federal goes out of business 1 17 April 2011 LulzSec Forms Sabu, Topiary, Kayla, Tflow, AVunit, and Pwnsauce break away from Anonymous to form LulzSec 1 May June 2011 LulzSec 50 Day Hacking Spree Sabu leads the newly formed team of elite hackers against 22 distinct commercial and government targets 1 18 June 7, 2011 FBI turns Sabu Federal agents come to his apartment on New York s Lower East Side and threatened the 28-year-old with an array of charges that could add up to 124 years in prison Sabu becomes an FBI informant 1 June 26, 2011 LulzSec Disbands AntiSec Forms LulzSec announces it is disbanding after 50 Days of Lulz, rejoining Anonymous and creating a strictly political hacktivism group called AntiSec 1 18 July 19, 2011 Arrest Tflow Mustafa Al-Bassam arrested by British police 28 July 27, 2011 Arrest Topiary Jake Davis arrested by Shetland Islands Police 11 September 2, 2011 Arrest Kayla Ryan Ackroyd arrested by British police 29 December 24, 2011 STRATFOR Under the supervision of the FBI, AntiSec steals more than 5 million email messages from the US security intelligence firm Stratfor and over 700,000 from Stratfor subscriber s credit cards A week later, AntiSec turns all of the data over to Wikileaks the largest public D0xing the Anonymous Franchise had ever accomplished They also donated the stolen money to various charities 1 25 January 2012 Arrest Pwnsauce Darren Martyn 24 March 6, 2012 FBI Outs Sabu News breaks that Hector Monsegur has been acting as an informant for the FBI for the past eight months, helping them bring charges against Jeremy Hammond of Chicago and five people involved with LulzSec 1 26 Arguably, the event that elevated the Anonymous movement to a force to be reckoned with in government and commercial circles was the HBGary attacks of February 2011 That hacktivist attack forced a corporation HBGary Federal to go out of business and the core set of hackers involved broke away from the Anonymous Franchise in April of 2011 to form LulzSec For the next 50 days, LulzSec went on a hacking rampage that eventually led to their demise and the arrest of five out of their six members 1 17 The bulk of Olson s book describes, in intimate detail, that one year period the events that led to the forming of LulzSec, the drama that unfolded as they went on their 50 day hacking spree, Sabu s betrayal to LulzSec and the impact of that betrayal to the Anonymous movement Ms Olson gets the details right and although she does not cover the entire Anonymous movement other Anonymous Franchise Operations happened in parallel that did not involve LulzSec her description of these events gives a good sense about how the Anonymous franchise operates LulzSec Members Below is a list of the core LulzSec members Other anonymous supporters helped but these people were the inner circle Sabu Xavier Deleon leon Hector Xavier Montsegur LulzSec leader and ultimately traitor Well connected to the underground hacker scene not a 4CHAN user He conquered networks, then basked in his achievement He was more interested in the cachet of taking over entire Internet service providers ISPs than pranking Scientologists 1 26 Topiary- atopiary Jake Davis Spokesman not a hacker but a charismatic mouthpiece that had a knack for manipulating and entertaining the press and Anonymous contributors 1 26 Kayla lol - lolspoon Ryan Mark Ackroyd The Ninja Hacker Kayla claimed to be a 14 year old girl Ackroyd actually was twenty-five and had served in the British army for four years, spending some of that time in Iraq He was the most extreme at protecting his her private persona 1 26 Tflow Mustafa Al-Bassam Successful student and skilled hacker under age at the time of his arrest 28 Pwnsauce raepsauce - networkkitten Darren Martyn technically adept with a healthy professional life 24 26 AVunit Elite hacker and the only LulSec crew member that did not get caught 1 The Tech Ms Olson does a really good job of explaining the tech that some of the Anonymous Franchise members used Web Site Recon Tools Kayla used a powerful web script that let her scan the Internet for websites with exploitable vulnerabilities 1 Hashkillercom A website that stores cracked and ready-to-be-cracked password hashes 1 Gigaloader JMeter Web stress tools adopted by early Anonymous supporters to direct DDOS attacks against targets 1 30 31 Havij Lulzsec member s favorite tool for SQL injection attacks 1 Automates bad guys' SQL injection attacks by detecting the database behind a targeted website, detecting whether it uses a string or integer parameter type, and testing different injection syntaxes on the target Unlike a lot of penetration tools, Havij can not only point to potential vulnerabilities, it can also carry out data extraction and harvesting 34 HideMyAss Sabu bought accounts with virtual private networks, like HideMyAss, to better hide their ring of supporters and also to get more server space When the FBI came knocking though, HideMyAss gave them up 1 Drive By Attacks Enticing someone in a chat room to visit a compromised website and installing malware on their system as a result 1 Money Laundering through Second Life Gaming Worlds Buy the in-game currency Lindens Convert that money into US dollars via a currency transfer site VirWoX Place those dollars into a Moneybookers account Finally, transfer that money into a personal bank account Money Laundering through Bitcoin Bitcoin address 1 Bitcoin address 2 Bitcoin address 3 Liberty Reserve a Costa Rican payment processor account Bitcoin address 4 Bitcoin address 5 second Liberty Reserve account PayPal account bank account Kayla s OPSEC Procedures By all accounts, Kayla was the most disciplined when it came to protecting her online persona Below are just some of the things she routinely did In the end though, the best OPSEC procedures could not protect her from an Insider Threat Sabu Rotated passwords almost daily 1 Hid data on tiny microSD cards 1 Booted operating systems from a USB stick 1 Used a VM virtual machine to do all hacking work VMs acted as buffers between her computer and her life online If anyone ever hacked her, he d only get to the VM 1 Avoided using a virtual private network VPN VPN providers could always provide details to the police As did HackMyAss when the FBI asked them for the online records pertaining to LulzSec 1 Used a low-end cell phone with an unregistered SIM card record all her passwords 1 Partitioned a small drive called sys on her phone that she used to store malicious code 1 Stored operating systems on a microSD card inside an encrypted MP3 player a 32 GB SanDisk microSD, inside an 8 GB SanDisk MP3, inside an encrypted volume Opening it now required a password and several key files, which were five MP3 songs out of thousands on his player 1 Conclusion This book is a must read for all cyber security professionals It does not cover the entire Anonymous movement, but by focusing on the evolution of the Anonymous Franchise and the rise and fall of the LulzSec hacking group, Ms Olson captures the essence of the hacktivist culture and what motivates its supporters I would put this in my list of Essential Cyber Security Books for Historical Context

their use of the federal anti-hacking law by Wednesday, in light of a recent 9th Circuit ruling that reigned in the scope of the CFAA The dismissal leaves John Kane, 54, and Andre Nestor, 41, facing a single remaining charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud' Kane's lawyer agreed, stating, 'The case never should have been filed under the CFAA, it should have been just a straight wire fraud case
