Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it. The international hacker community is preparing to strike against U.S. infrastructure and calls for public awareness against incoming fascism
Anytime I see something about “Anonymous” I just assume it’s some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.
So you’ll go to your grave believing it because all the proof in the world will just be fake news
In this case? Yeah, probably. If there was proof of their identity they would no longer be anonymous, would they?
It’s a much more reasonable assumption than how your lot assumes anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is a Russian bot, and can’t be convinced by any amount of proof otherwise.
I mean at least you’re leaning into the conservative conspiracy hole instead of pretending you’re not in it, so bonus points for honesty.
I’ve also never accused random posters of being Russian trolls/bots, so fewer points for that.
Lmao, “conservative conspiracy hole.” I guess “being suspicious of anonymous sources” makes me a conservative conspiracy theorist, somehow 🤣
This is just basic critical thinking lol.
“This thing I don’t understand is a government psyop and I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary”
That’s literally Maga 101 you can’t be surprised I called a spade a spade. Plus I just happe to know you’re already conservative from your other posts so it’s just more evidence to back it up.
I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.
Anonymous, if you are going to do it, PLEASE make sure to leave the innocent people alone and go after the rich assholes that are doing this.
Other than that, here’s my axe, go wild
No one is innocent here.
Here is my 4 laptops, loaded up loic, give me ip, we roll
slow loris was a lot better that loic… i heard…
full name of loris?
Then do it
Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?
Hacker fashion tip: while wearing your guy fox mask, match it with a Luigi hat.
The Guy Faux mask is so 2005.
I’m all for attacking infra - we need to make this shit more resilient and we need to transition to memory-safe langs like Rust. This will hopefully accelerate it. Also, I lol at people saying Trump/Elon/Doge will destroy the US when in reality - these kinds of people who wanna attack it probably have way better chances to do so.
Memory safety is just a small part of infrastructure resilience. Rust doesn’t protect you from phishing attacks. Rust doesn’t protect you from weak passwords. Rust doesn’t protect you from network misconfiguration. (For that matter, Rust doesn’t protect you from some group of twenty-year old assholes installing their own servers inside your network, like you say.) Protecting your estate is not just about a programming language.
“Infrastructure”, to me, suggests power, water, oil and food, more than some random website. For US infra, I’m thinking a lot of Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers, but probably a lot of Siemens and Mitsubishi stuff as well - things like these: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/hardware/allen-bradley/programmable-controllers.html.
Historically, the controllers for industrial infrastructure (from a single pumping station to critical electrical distribution) have been on their own separate networks, and so things like secure passwords and infrastructure updates haven’t been a priority. Some of these things have been running untouched for decades; thousands of people will have used the (often shared) credentials, which are very rarely updated or changed. The recent change is to demand more visibility and interaction; every SCADA (the main control computer used for interactive plant control) that you bring onto the public internet so that you can see what it’s up to in a central hub, the more opportunity you have to mess up the network security and allow undesirables in.
PLCs tend to be coded up in “ladder logic” and compiled to device-specific assembly language. It isn’t a programming environment where C has made any inroads over the decades; I very much doubt there’s a Rust compiler for some random microcontroller, and “supported by manufacturer” is critical for these industries.
My final semester in American Sign Language was “Sex, Drugs, and Profanity,” and most of the signs are just exactly what you’d guess. (I held on to those textbooks.) Plus, facial expressions are a big part of the grammar of the language. I don’t recognize this scene, but assuming it’s from a comedy - it’s probably also not far off from accurate.
It’s from the 1982 film Airplane 2: the Sequel. Nowhere near as funny as the original, but still very funny.
yeah ddos a website with your low orbit ion canons. that’ll teach them for sure. q0wned. thank you
This is kinda what trump wants. If the government cant handle “online stuff” they can pitch privatization. It hurts more if tech megacorps get hacked. Though at this point I wou’d laugh if a bunch of internet nerds got the nuclear codes or locked up a bunch of satellites
If the government cant handle “online stuff” they can pitch privatization.
It kind of already is privatized. Most of the government’s cyber security efforts are handled by defense contractors.
Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?

You’ve been watching too much Mr. Robot.

Or fight club
Anonymous tends to not do useful things. They just talk a lot.
mostly they are spending hours scrolling through social media accounts of certain types of people looking for dox materials. that’s really about it
Do it, attack America’s life points directly.
hack the planet
By all means do. It’s not like much of value is lost at this point.
Oh wow. They’ll shut down a website for a day.
Whoop-tee-doo.
