Lulzsec & The Jester Expose each other, Long Live Anonymous !

Lulz war ! Today Hacking group "Lulzsec" completed their 50th day and also announce the retirement of Lulz boat. What are the Reasons behind this ? Lulz Security's rise to prominence has been extraordinarily fast.The hacking group first emerged in May and in the past few weeks has attacked the websites of some of the world's leading corporations and governments. The group specialises in locating websites with poor security and then stealing information from them and posting it online via Twitter account, well They have 278,429 Followers]in 50days.

To understand who/what lulzsec is, you need to understand where they came from. Everything originates from the chan (4chan/711chan/etc.) culture. It's a culture built around the anonymity of the internet. If your anonymous no one can find you. No one can hurt you, so your invincable.

According to Anonymous "The problem with Lulzsec is that they lack the skills to keep it going. As such after SONY they couldn't get into anything. So they switched their focus to just releasing random crap that didn't mean anything. Then they started running out of things they could hack. So they put out requests for people to join them. That got them a few hits, and now they've switched their gears again to be ANTI-SEC".

Sabu (Leader of Lulzsec) and Topiary are the only two people updating the twitter and releasing stuff. The gn0sis kids are gone in hiding somewhere. So the team include :
Sabu, Topiary , Kayla , gn0sis , Uncommon, EEKDACAT.

LULZSEC skills : We have seen that Lulzsec mostly hack random targets which are vulnerable and easily available on net via google Dorks. Now just check the Defacement section of "The hacker news" , you will get so much talented hackers of world, Then why these guys not having millions of followers ? Why these Indian, Pakistani and Albanian hackers don't get attention of Big media ? Its all because their aim was not to get Fame, they are testing their own skills and Learning from real world or whatever the other Reasons of hacks. Even PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) & Writerspace Hacked Again by Warv0x (AKA Kaihoe) . According to Warv0x (AKA Kaihoe) "This wasn't done for fame or fun,just proving LulzSec aren't as goodas they think they are. I haven't rooted the box or been up to crack the hashes, I'm just proving that most of their attacks are very lame and basic (i'm pretty sure and automated) SQL injections and further privilege escalation, which is just matter of time." He also said "Support for WebNinjas & Jester, good job at exposing them.Sad to mention, but I really agree with th3j35t3r & WebNinjas - LulzSec are just a bunch of script kiddies..."

50 Days of Lulz - LulzSec Says Goodbye & Operation AntiSec will Continue

50 Days of Lulz - LulzSec Says Goodbye & Operation AntiSec will Continue

Hacker group LulzSec has announced that after 50 days of hacking companies and organizations, it is finally done. LulzSec tweet a message which was posted on Pastebin : http://pastebin.com/1znEGmHa

The group confirmed its retirement on the LulzSec Twitter feed, which managed to amass 277,540 followers during its short stint online.

"For the past 50 days we've been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could," writes LulzSec. "All to selflessly entertain others – vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy."

The group was also behind attacks on Sony, attacks on PBS, the US Senate, the CIA, and a slew of gaming sites popular with 4Chan users including EVE Online, Minecraft and League of Legends. LulzSec was thought to have been the source of hacks against Scotland Yards and the UK Census, but the group denied involvement.

The linked pastebin statement reads:

Friends around the globe,

We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us.

For the past 50 days we've been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just because we could. All to selflessly entertain others - vanity, fame, recognition, all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It's what we all crave, even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want and you are worth having it, believe in yourself.

While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn't that interesting to know? The mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did.

Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The support we've gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, and not to mention humbling. Please don't stop. Together, united, we can stomp down our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.

So with those last thoughts, it's time to say bon voyage. Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind - we hope - inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.

Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we head for the horizon.

Let it flow...

Lulz Security - our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe

According to TWN The "50 Days of Lulz" Data description :

AOL: While you may have been secretly hoping for some juicy memos akin to The AOL Way, what we actually have is a text file that begins: "The purpose of this document is to provide the AOL Network Engineering Staff, Management and any other pertinent persons a detailed review, analysis and recommended 'best practices' document for the implementation of layer 4 through 7 switching configurations." – it's an incredibly technical document.

AT&T: A large .rar archive includes a huge number of internal documents related to AT&T's LTE rollout. It includes meeting memos, emails, media reports, PDFs, Powerpoint presentations and more.

Battlefield Heroes: This text file appears to be a list of account details for over 550,000 users of social game Battlefield Heroes.

FBI Being Silly: This text file includes the output of a URL on the FBI website. We'll admit to not knowing the technical significance of why this is 'silly' as yet.

Hackforums.net: This appears to be 200,000 user details for Hackforums.net in a .csv file.

Nato-bookshop.org: Similarly, this appears to be 220,000 user logins for a NATO online bookshop (the URL currently redirects to the main NATO site).

Evidence that LulzSec hacked the US Navy website: An image is included showing the phrase "Pablo Escobar AntiSec" inserted multiple times on a list of Navy salary grades.

Office networks of corporations: A text file seemingly listing IP numbers of internal Corporate networks, including Disney, EMI and Universal.

Email login details supposedly for a number of private investigators: Self-explanatory.

User login details for "Random gaming forums": It's unclear which forums.

"Silly routers": A list of IP numbers for routers with passwords set to either 'root' or 'admin'.

Wikileaks - We help you safely Get the Truth !

Wikileaks - We help you safely Get the Truth !

Note : The Article is Taken from "The Hacker News Magazine" - June Edition. Download Magazine here..

The United States Department of Justice has left no stone unturned in their ruthless attempts to uncover or fabricate evidence against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Their goal is to charge Assange with conspiracy to commit espionage.

If the United States is successful Julian Assange will become the United States convenient scapegoat, along with others like US citizen and Army Pvt. Bradley Manning. These two will disproportionately take the blame for the United States failed policies and crimes.

Julian Assange has said that the long and cruel detention and forthcoming US government prosecution of Army Pvt. Bradley Manning is nothing more than an attempt to "terrorize whistle-blowers" and that Pvt. Manning like himself is a victim of alleged government repression and mistreatment. "There is no doubt the U.S. government has tried to terrorize whistle-blowers into not revealing important information to the public," But Assange believes it has failed to have a chilling effect.

Assange has stated that "Courage is contagious". And that Wikileaks has seen a dramatic increase in the number of sources willing to come forward," he also stated "Fear no doubt is also restraining their activities ~but there is an increased supply of materials coming to us." He also said that the Manning's case and U.S. government threats to prosecute WikiLeaks have not slowed expansion of the organization.

All that Julian Assange has done is to be the messenger of information. The information disseminated by Assange included diplomatic cables which revealed many United States failures and debacles beyond any doubt, along with prima facie war crimes and crimes against humanity and the revelation of the information has embarrassed the United States. Unfairly, Assange has already been labeled a "high tech terrorist" by the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, and Admiral Mike Mullen's claims that Assange might now have "blood on his hands". They both know better.

It is a disgrace that many citizens of the United States and the world must be reminded that exposing corruption and crimes is not breaking the law, but up holding the law. To prosecute whistle blowers like Wikileaks Julian Assange is a serious threat to democracy and sets a dangerous trend. We must understand that a democracy must rely on a free press to inform its citizens and keep governments accountable to the people.

In times past Julian Assange would have been hailed as a true patriot of democracy. So let's look at the man behind our information revolution who is now both a respected and reviled figure around the world.

Julian Paul Assange was born July 3, 1971 in Australia. Today he is the editor in chief of WikiLeaks a whistleblower website with a stated purpose of creating open governments. WikiLeaks was founded in 2006. That year, Assange wrote two essays setting out the philosophy behind WikiLeaks: "To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not." In his blog he wrote, "the more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie.... Since unjust systems, by their nature, induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance."

Assange is a prominent media spokesman on WikiLeaks' behalf. While newspapers have described him as a "director" or "founder" of WikiLeaks, Assange has said, "I don't call myself a founder"; he does describe himself as the editor in chief of WikiLeaks, and has stated that he has the final decision in the process of vetting documents submitted to the site. Assange says that WikiLeaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press combined: "That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are – rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful." He advocates a "transparent" and "scientific" approach to journalism, saying that "you can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism." In 2006, CounterPunch called him "Australia's most infamous former computer hacker." The Age has called him "one of the most intriguing people in the world" and "internet's freedom fighter." Assange has called himself "extremely cynical". He has been described as being largely self-taught and widely read on science and mathematics, and as thriving on intellectual battle.

WikiLeaks has been involved in the publication of material documenting extrajudicial killings in Kenya, a report of toxic waste dumping on the coast of Côte d'Ivoire, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, the 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike video, and material involving large banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer among other documents.

In 2008, Assange published an article entitled "The Hidden Curse of Thomas Paine", in which he wrote "What does it mean when only those facts about the world with economic powers behind them can be heard, when the truth lays naked before the world and no one will be the first to speak without payment or subsidy?"

I strongly believe Wikileaks and the work Julian Assange has done is about freedom and justice. Julian Assange is a brave defender of justice and freedom. He is a modern day Paul Revere willing to risk his life to inform the world of crimes and injustice. We are often cheated by powerful industries, corporations and governments who care more about profit than about people. Wikileaks, headed by Julian Assange has shown a bright light on the darkness of great power and their hidden shocking secrets.

His website Wikileaks, founded in 2006, has so far selectively released around 12,000 of more than 250,000 secret documents in has in its possession. All things considered, Julian Assange maybe correct when he gives credit to WikiLeaks and it's work with triggering a "year of miracles for journalism" that has enhanced the transparency of the U.S. and foreign governments and contributed to the democratic revolutions sweeping across the Arab world.

We can all learn from the bravery of Julian Assange ~

"What does censorship reveal? It reveals fear." Julian Assange
