Operation AntiSec is in action, having taken down the UK’s organised crime investigatory wing and claiming a seizure of the entire 2011 UK Census. So how are they doing it? Possibly with this hacker handbook, provided by Anon:
The document, entitled “The OpNewblood Super Secret Security Handbook” covers a variety of mundane software setup techniques: Firefox plugins, getting your IRC client running, and other innocuous tips. But the final section, “ADVANCED GUIDE TO HACKING AND SECURITY VULNERABILITY” (look at those caps!) gets into some red meaty stuff: DDoS, packet sniffing, and server penetration – all made easy.
If AntiSec is truly going to be the decentralised, disorganised orgy of hacks, leaks, and general net destruction, it’s safe to bet this guide is going to be circulating beyond a few retweets. If you’re feeling paranoid or otherwise vulnerable, you might want to consult Section 6: Advanced Defence Techniques. [via Twitter]

Using SSH, Wireshark and editing your hosts file comes under the heading of Advanced Hacking?
What have I been doing all these years.. I should have been taking over the world!
And a link to metasploit… that’s it? There is nothing to see here, and as for a warriors hand book you’d be better off looking for some backtrack tutorials and reading and running your own *nix box for a while.
This handbook is basically an introduction to the internet… nothing to see here, move along.
As a side note, how can you guys seriously think that this article, “gets into some red meaty stuff: DDoS, packet sniffing, and server penetration – all made easy.” really? seriously?
*facepalm*

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 10:14 AMOh no!
someone realised what we were up to :(
yes, you are right, there is nothing in here that is amazingly groundbreaking or anything like that – as if we would post how we really go about our business?
the point of this doc is to give anyone who wants to join our cause something to get them started with, something to help them learn more, and become non newbies :)
while they are learning we will have some fun hacking the sh*t out of the american government.

BUT as primer for someone to get their internet license, excellent!
Now if only I can find someway to enforce the exams :/

I’m sure they see it as the ending of V for Vendetta when V sends out the masks and costumes all over the city.
Also Natalie Portman is involved, take from that what you will.
