I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “PsyOPS” and “InfoSec” professionals that are wildly chasing hackers all over the internet. People claim they’re so elite because they’re infiltrating A GROUP THAT ANYONE CAN JOIN, REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, OR RELIGION. I guess it’s tacitly not infiltration, as I’m sure some of the “legit” members don’t have the group’s best interest at heart, for various reasons. So if you’re claiming to be “Destroyer of Anonymous”, you fail at life. You’re a fucking loser- an asshat. The reality is that Anonymous is destroying itself. It swells and declines. It will always eliminate parts of itself. Kind of like pruning. No group with such radical and diverse beliefs can remain cohesive. However, all “#prosec” douchebags are typically Republican, Bradley Manning hating government suckups who shit on the first amendment and would love to see all Arab Americans die. These are not generalizations- these fucking nutbags still have sore tits over 9/11. At least, the “twitter vocal” ones are that way. It’s ironic. If you want to gain support for your cause of “hating Anonymous”, wouldn’t you be nicer than a nazi? My guess is “mudsplatter / hubris” is still on the #prosec side of the fence, hunting Anonymous down with PsyOPS and trolling. However, he’s playing good cop at the moment. The minds at Backtrace Security likely discovered that being raging douches from all angles doesn’t get you very far. So riding high on the crest of “namshub.pdf” and the fact that all their dox came from the fallout just before HBGary, they’re trying like Hell to prove they’re actually worth something to the internet, and not just screaming trolls.

Thanks, Anonymous Benefactor! Got the package today, you crazy bastard. The shirt is quite suitable. At least this way people don’t even have to check my blog to determine that I’m an Infosec Troll.

I owe you one.

This is the defacto mass highlight I use to annoy the fuck out of people when on IRC with irssi. It’s good stuff. Modify it to say something incredibly offensive and use it yourself.

use strict;
use Irssi;

sub cmd_hilight {
        my ($data, $server, $win) = @_;
        my $channel = Irssi::active_win()->get_active_name();
        my $foo = "\cBHey,\cB ";
        foreach ($win->nicks())
        {      
                next if ($_->{'nick'} eq $server->{nick});
                $foo .= "\cB\c_$_->{'nick'}\cB\c_ ";
        }
        $server->command("MSG $channel $foo");
}

Irssi::command_bind('mh', 'cmd_hilight');

Enjoy this vintage PSA from the 80’s as a token of my appreciation.

It would seem the volume of tweets containing the hash tag “#FuckFBIFriday” has dwindled tremendously. Lets frame a few things up, just for perspective.

• Hector Monsegur Arrested -> June 7th, 2011
• Fuck FBI Friday, 1st Ed. is Released -> June 5th, 2011
• Every Following #FFF Likely Lead to an Arrest -> ???
• PROFIT!!!

Is it me, or is this hilarious? Leaderless organization is an oxymoron. Democracy can’t exist in any system, suffice to say this is fairly decent evidence to support such a statement. If Sabu weren’t a leader, he wouldn’t have been as valuable to the FBI.

I’m sure I’ll catch some shit for this. Probably at least a little. I’m not so legally using a font for my website to display code. It’s not the cheapest font in the world, either. I certainly don’t have permission to use it, and anyone can look at the CSS in my blog and grab it. I don’t really care, though. That’s an insane amount of money to charge for a font. It’s a fucking FONT, people. I realize you’ve put some effort into it’s creation, but it’s also not perfect. It’s not the best damn font I’ve ever seen, nor is it useful in 100% of situations I’ve encountered.

I’ve tried probably about ten suggestions found all over the web, and this is the only method I’ve found to function universally, across every browser I’ve tested it with.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'NameOfFontFamily';
    src: url('/font/file.eot?') format('eot'),
    url('/font/file.woff') format('woff'),
    url('/font/file.ttf') format('truetype');
}

You can use online font converters to convert an OpenType or TrueType font to *.eot and *.woff as needed. For whatever reason, the “?” appears to be important as well. Not sure about that, I’ll have to look into it further.

This is a handy guide to interpreting common phrases you may come across on the internet.

Alright, that’s it for now. I’ll probably do a follow up if I think of more inane shit to drop on this topic.
