ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) http://www.securityn...orn-sites-1260/ Anonymous Hackers Take Down Child Porn Websites, Leak Users' Names Oct 20, 2011 | 2:21 PM ET | By Matt Liebowitz, SecurityNewsDaily Staff Writer Members of the Anonymous hacktivist movement are claiming responsibility for taking down more than 40 secret child-pornography websites and leaking the names of more than 1,500 members of one of the illegal sites. The Anonymous campaign began Oct. 14, when members of the hacktivist group found a cache of child-pornography websites while browsing a secret website called the Hidden Wiki, a guidebook to hundreds of underground websites invisible to search engines and regular Internet users. The hackers singled out Lolita City, a file-sharing site used by pedophiles, and leaked the names of the site's 1,589 active members to Pastebin on Tuesday (Oct. 18), the Examiner reported. Member of Anonymous deciding to hack a website whose stance they don't agree with is by no means shocking news. In the past year, Anonymous-affiliated hackers have gone after the New York Stock Exchange, the Westboro Baptist Church, the Recording Industry Association of America and government sites in Malaysia, Egypt, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. However, in targeting child pornography sites, and in explaining its methods of attack, these Anonymous-affiliated hackers have revealed a deeply disturbing side of the Internet unknown to most people. The so-called "darknet," from which this "Operation Darknet" hacking campaign takes its name, is any part of the Internet that is hidden from view — not just hard to reach, but deliberately concealed. In this instance, a darknet appears to have grown out of the free TOR routing service, which offers anonymous, encrypted Web browsing to any user. The TOR-based darknet has reportedly grown into a private, encrypted constellation of websites offering a variety of shady and illegal services, from fake IDs and steroids to email hacking and tip on how to call in police raids as pranks. There's even a hidden site called "The Last Box" that bills itself as an "Assassination Market." Only computers that have installed TOR browser plug-ins can access the TOR-based darknet, including its guidebook the Hidden Wiki, the security site Infosec Island reported. In another Pastebin posting, the hackers explained that their campaign against the child pornography sites took root when they found a site listed on the Hidden Wiki called "Hard Candy," which "was dedicated to links to child pornography." The group delved deeper and discovered that nearly all of the pornography sites listed on the Hidden Wiki "shared a digital fingerprint with the shared hosting server at Freedom Hosting." The Anonymous-affiliated hackers then issued a warning to Freedom Hosting asking it to remove the child pornography links from its server. Freedom Hosting did not comply, so the group, at approximately 11:30 p.m. (CST) on Oct. 14 shutdown Freedom Hosting's server. Freedom Hosting restored service the following day, but it was attacked and taken down again that night. In its statement, the Anonymous members explained their goals and how they aim to achieve them through repeated pressure and consistent online attacks. "The owners and operators at Freedom Hosting are openly supporting child pornography and enabling pedophiles to view innocent children, fueling their issues and putting children at risk of abduction, molestation, rape and death," the message said. "For this, Freedom Hosting has been declared #OpDarknet Enemy Number One. By taking down Freedom Hosting, we are eliminating 40+ child pornography websites, among these is Lolita City, one of the largest child pornography websites to date containing more than 100 GB of child pornography. We will continue to not only crash Freedom Hosting's server, but any other server we find to contain, promote, or support child pornography." The statement added a demand to Freedom Hosting and other Web servers hosting child pornography. "Remove all child pornography content from your servers. Refuse to provide hosting services to any website dealing with child pornography. This statement is not just aimed at Freedom Hosting, but everyone on the Internet. It does not matter who you are, if we find you to be hosting, promoting, or supporting child pornography, you will become a target." The trail goes cold in looking for whoever is behind Freedom Hosting. The domain is currently offline; WHOIS domain-name lookups show that the registration for freedom-hosting.com expired on Aug. 7, and the registrar is holding the URL pending renewal. The so-called "darknet," from which this "Operation Darknet" hacking campaign takes its name, is any part of the Internet that is hidden from view — not just hard to reach, but deliberately concealed. In this instance, a darknet appears to have grown out of the free TOR routing service, which offers anonymous, encrypted Web browsing to any user.The TOR-based darknet has reportedly grown into a private, encrypted constellation of websites offering a variety of shady and illegal services, from fake IDs and steroids to email hacking and tip on how to call in police raids as pranks.

Only computers that have installed TOR browser plug-ins can access the TOR-based darknet, including its guidebook the Hidden Wiki, the security site Infosec Island reported. So many people have no clue as to the dark underbelly of the Internetz, it is out there and it can be a very, very bad place. A little Googling returns a lot of information.

gunfun 3,931 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I tend to think anonymous are idiots. Nice to see them pick on someone who needs picking on for a change though. It doesn't make up for the destructive things they have done, like harrasing a little girl's dad after they made pedo requests of her. Remember: "My enemy's enemy is my enemy's enemy, no more no less." -- attributed to an a source I don't want to admit. Remember when google's search query database dumped onto the interwebs? a bunch of the goons from something aweful made filters to identify embarrassing searches and patterns. These yielded a ton of pedos. A horrifying number of which would follow a stream like "naked kids> child porn> adoption... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogMan 2,343 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 These rodents might be able to temporarily hide in dark corners of the internet but they are fools to think they can't be found out. Even if they can't be hacked, they can always be ratted out by their own fellow vermin who are looking for a reduced sentence. I'll bet there are a lot "kindly old men" who are not sleeping very well lately. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonaldDuck 9 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nice OP... One thing though... Has it occurred to anybody that there's a reason the deep web is hidden? This thread is a road map to any member's kids to be able to order LSD or "whatever else" online. First to say that this is serious, it is not a joke. If you ask yourself why someone would need to hire hitman online, I will tell you simply: because it is anonymous. You can always find examples of criminals who collaborated with cops when they face 20 years of prison, and you can finish in the prison because of that. At other side, you can always find examples that police found who had interest to kill dead person and they can come to you and you can give testimony and hitman can finish in the prison 20 years. So, it is mutual interest to make everything anonymously. The deep web is nothing new. It's been around as long, or actually longer than the surface web. The phreaks from the 80's laid the foundation for it. It's not all bad. It's about privacy. There's many useful aspects of it & governments use it frequently. Spies can carry around browsers on flash-drives to communicate with their handlers. The objective was privacy & anonymity. The foundations sprung up as governments were putting chips in your PC as a back door to monitor you... Back in the early 90's. Of course many seek anonymity for many different reasons. It's like a bad part of town. It can be very useful, but for a naive user, rather dangerous. So keep in mind as you decide to go to the dark side seeking hidden knowledge... This is where viruses, cyber attacks & all the best malware originate from. Seek at your own risk. (posted form Tor) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reverendfranz 160 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nice OP... One thing though... Has it occurred to anybody that there's a reason the deep web is hidden? This thread is a road map to any member's kids to be able to order LSD or "whatever else" online. Yeah, the reason is that privacy is a right, and that electronic communication's increased capabilities are regularly abused by governments and private entities around the world. Anyone who teaches their child to use a web browser should very well teach their child that there are risks and consequences to what they can do on the internet and that there are things they can do to protect their god-given rights. Suggesting anything else to a child is promoting ignorance, handicapping them, and just about the same as telling them libraries are off limits because they might read about methamphetimine or lsd manufacturing (as ive seen both at public libraries). What then, forbid them to study chemistry or read the ads in the back of magazines? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For instance exit nodes are a weakness as are other areas. Ignorance & the false sense of security deriving from it can cause issues. And that's all I have to say about that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 With the Obamanable Muslime in the White House it wouldn't surprise me if the hackers were arrested instead of the child molesting perverts. The only thing positive that criminals do in prison is kill off or brutally beat child molesters. They don't like competition from the outside. Unfortunately, thanks to subversives like the ACLU the child molesters are separated in a different area in the prisons instead of being sent to the general population where they would get their due. When I lived in Michigan, the Wayne County Sheriff (Detroit area) had an internet child molester task force which was effective against these vermin but was reduced due to budget cuts and costs. One time they nabbed someone who drove from Illinois to meet what he thought was a14 year old who was an undercover agent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cryogaijin 33 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I tend to think anonymous are idiots. Nice to see them pick on someone who needs picking on for a change though. It doesn't make up for the destructive things they have done, You don't understand Anonymous if you're making statements like that. There is no single "anonymous" there is no unified leadership. The people who did project Chanology are different from the ones that hacked Sony for a couple months, are different from the ones who did this. Blaming or crediting "Anonymous" as a whole for anything is like blaming or crediting the SEALs for what Jake did on Top Shot. In order to really understand what is going on, you have to know a couple things. . . First off, information secrecy as a concept is dead. If it exists online, people can get into it. Secondly, The traditional power structures do not realize this fully, and are fighting against it. Much of the demonizing of "Anonymous" or the painting of it as a single monolithic organization comes from this. Third, the media is even more clueless than the Powers that Be about this, and rarely get anything right on the subject. Finally, while one section of the .gov wants to keep as much "digital privacy" as possible, other sections work hard at limiting the tools that might grant it. Where is the inexpensive/free 4096bit encryption packages? Where is the software for strongly encrypted proxies? The .gov doesn't want you to have 'em because they can't crack them. And the government doesn't want you to have things that they can't crack, thus the most common encryption is 128 bit which can be cracked by a modern laptop in under 5 minutes with the right software. Most corporations use 512 bit encryption not easily available to civilians. That takes longer to crack, but remember the amount of time it takes to crack encryption halves every 12-16 months. (Moore's law) Obviously 512 bit encryption is no longer enough. Access to higher levels of encryption is highly restricted. And even the .gov doesn't use enough.

gunfun 3,931 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Whenever you have more than 2 people a leader automatically emerges. In this case, while the group is not completely monolithic, it does have a leadership system via the people who function as forum mods. A fair amount of them let kids do the legally risky stuff too, which is cowardly. A couple of them are under indictment for that. Further, they choose to identify with each other. That is the main thing that makes me lump them together. You don't name your fitness program khmer rouge, because they had a similar training regimen. You choose a different name to let people know you don't want to be associated with them. The whole thing grew out of 4chan, which is largely about anonymously getting into bad stuff. Sure you can do other things there, but the unique feature that 4chan offers that isn't available elsewhere to the same degree is /b. for instance, most of the legit content could be found on other forums like SA. what somethingawful doesn't offer is a child porn shelter zone. I have no comment on the advantages or quality of the various encryption protocols, but I do have a problem with people who identify themselves with people who would intentionally release my banking information and credit card numbers as a way of retaliating against a credit card company. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
