Mashable - The Social Media Guide: ImageShack Hacked by Anti-sec Movement

  • Jason · 5 months ago
    Wow...I'd like to see where this goes. This is gutsy, and apparently they know what they're doing and they mean business. Their message is clear, concise, and I don't completely disagree with them. Interesting.
  • toasterroaster · 5 months ago
    Business, LOL. Man maybe I should just start CPing the crap that I find leftover and altered by people. They may seem cool, but they did something very simple, not that flashy. If they wanted to make a statement, try something that's actually hard and not something that's just big and simple. Go hack microsoft or some other bigshot company, I'm sure it'll be a lot harder. They self justic peeps, trying to be some type of organized anon or mass kira of the ewebs irl. >_> They're nothing.

    You're a fucking idiot..

    hack microsoft, what kind've retarded statement is that..

    if it was so simple why don't you just explain it for us
  • toasterroaster · 5 months ago
    Never said it was simple, I said try something harder like Microsoft. You misread.

    Let's see you do something like that. Go for it, amuse me. I want to see every one of my images, replaced with, "See? You guys are just another Kira, anti-sec." You couchbitchers think this is all so easy, because you see a few command prompts or shells run through with a few lines of words really fast, in front of a nerd, in a few movies. Show me how easy this is. You may have to get out your recent Die Hard movie for this one. Maybe try a mini "Fire Sale" while you're at it, Mr. SuperHacker? Heh. I'd be surprised if you could tell me what shellcodes are.
  • Loucetios · 4 months ago
    ehh yeh you did

    "They may seem cool, but they did something very simple"

    You can either mean this two ways;

    - Technically it's simple. If you mean this, it's just retarded, a zero day exploit for SSH isn't just something you come by every day, or happen to figure out after a bit of a browse through Milw0rm

    - As a statement it's simple. If you mean this, what were you expecting? A flash movie? It's an image hosting site, they're not looking to cause damage or bring it down.

    As for hacking microsoft, as I said, retarded statement. It's been done, numerous times. The amount of zero-day exploits for Microsoft products ranges in the hundreds, most are patched now. But every Microsoft OS has had a zero-day exploit. This is the first OpenSSH zero-day I've heard of.

    You don't even probably understand what these guys have done (not that I'm advocating it), this isn't just a website defacement. They gained COMPLETE control of their systems. They could've uploaded viruses and all sorts of shit.

    They engineered it so that everyone's image was replaced with the image you see on the blog. I doubht that was anywhere near "simple" considering they did it all through an ssh terminal commands.

    I'm sorry but don't pretend to know what you're talking about when you don't. And especially don't make retard statements like "hurr it's only imageshack, go HAX micro$oft, much harder guise".
  • G A M T · 4 months ago

    "If they wanted to make a statement, try something that's actually hard and not something that's just big and [[SIMPLE]. "

    You contradicted yourself you know?
    You sound like hacking imageshack was easy.. "go hack some other bigshot company" Yeah like imageshack isn't some big company that millions goto?

    Mass kira? Shoot you don't deserve my reply. Comparing a hack to an anime.. hahaha.

    Bah.. the message wasn't for you anyway..
  • Sebastian Baliantz · 4 months ago
    of course I understood what they are about but they broke rule #1 of ethical hacking, DO NOT HACK INNOCENTS. the fuck kind of idiot thinks Imageshack has anything to do with firewalls or PC security.

    Yeah it took skill on their part to do, but seriously wtf are they trying to accomplish? so they are a bunch of smart people that are bored, why not do something to benefit others, instead of drawing attention to themselves for fun... yeah, that was a smart move geniuses.

    You can't justify this action, people that have nothing to do with their cause were affected, that only puts people at opposition to your cause, and I'm not one to sit back and not say shit just because the other people are too scared to.
  • G A M T · 4 months ago
    Sebastian, they didn't affect any of your images.. Your images and others were still there after ImageShack got rid of the hack..
    Unless it was something terrible that your avatar was replaced for a day.
    "attention to themselves for fun"
    What we don't even know the anti-sec group.. How could that bring attention to them..
    It's not like they have a myspace and everyone is adding them.. the only attention they wanted was to show their message.

    But I guess they weren't thinking people would pay attention only to the part that said anti-sec.
  • Tacklebox · 5 months ago
    these guys from the Anti Sec Movement should seriously get laid VERY soon
  • Frostbite · 5 months ago
    Just another lame threat by some kids that found an exploit. Nothing new. As for tacklebox and his "they need to get laid" comment, what the hell good is that gonna do? Retard. People like you need to go back in the men's locker room and continue patting each other on the ass with your testosterone-soaked arm patches.
  • Ike · 5 months ago
    Full disclosure is indeed a problem, as it is unethical to release the details of an exploit into the wild before the vendor is given ample time (i.e., 6 months or more), through direct contact to the vendor only, to fix the problem.

    However, an "anti-sec" movement that threatens "ownage" of security sites is a paradox that solves nothing. Instead of attacking avenues of security information, it is more reasonable to educate about the dangers of full disclosure. Then, if you are a radical organization and sites refuse to comply, they invite their own fate.
  • Frank · 5 months ago
    As a user of software, I prefer there not being a full 6 month window when my system is vulnerable. If the vendor takes 6 months at minimum to fix an exploit, I'd like to know so I can stop using it.
  • ... · 5 months ago
    With full-disclosure, you would rather not have your system be vulnerable for 6 months. If you're using any copy of Windows, average time to fix an exploit (public or not) is over 9 months.

    If an exploit is not released (AKA full-disclosure), then only a few people have this information - and what are the chances they'll use it to you. Not so great.

    You don't realize it, but you've just made a solid case for the anti-security movement. :)
  • Reid · 5 months ago

  • ... · 4 months ago
    Full Disclosure is NOT "Not releasing an exploit... that's 0disclosure... Full disclosure is disclosing the exploit you g00n...
  • Dee · 5 months ago
    Full disclosure is NOT a problem under the appropriate circumstances. It is just as unethical of a vendor to sit on fixing a vulnerability brought to their attention by a concerned researcher. Unfortunately, many of them do until forced to address it by the threat of full disclosure.

    Do some interwebs research on the subject to discover what I mean: network routing devices, ATM devices, electronic voting machines, and the ever present apps, then make up your own mind based on the facts, not on an emotional response.

    Regards
  • Reid · 5 months ago
    Six months?!?!? What planet are you on? Seriously, given a good bug report, Theo (OpenBSD) has stated that a fix can be done within hours. And that's an OS, not some relatively simple (web) app. Seriously, a few weeks tops is all that is really needed and even then, that's only for politeness. Lazy vendors are there own problem and the security industry shouldn't be blamed for that.
  • mini · 4 months ago
    If something in an OS has a fix out within hours, I am worried... what other holes are being opened with a not properly QA'd fix??
  • px · 4 months ago
    Except you are comparing full disclosure with responsible disclosure. Antisec is the complete opposite direction. Antisec says that when you find bugs, either leverage the bug for your own personal gain as much as possible, or sell the bug to the highest bidder. Antisec does not want vendors informed ever. Antisec wants there to be an elite class of underground hackers that run the internet, as opposed to the kiddie free for all that exists at the moment.

  • sultanofseo · 5 months ago
    this is stupid because it makes literally no sense. how does Imageshack, founded by SA member macbeth, have anything to do with security or facilitating full disclosure of leaks (which I agree are a nuisance because of scriptkiddies relishing in the info).

    Isn't the advantage of full disclosure that software developers and site operators can find out when flaws exist, rather than having them be silently exploited indefinitely?
  • Ike · 5 months ago
    This is exactly why full disclosure must be explained to the masses. Full disclosure is NOT mere disclosure to the development community for a package. Full disclosure is disclosing the details of an exploit (including factors that could allow easy reproduction of the exploit) in the open. Disclosing the vulnerability to the vendor is normal (and ethical), then the vendor should be given time to repair the problem.

    Educate yourself about full disclosure.
  • Mike Chelen · 5 months ago
    Agreed that responsible disclosure must include both a reasonable attempt at giving the developers a chance to address the flaw, and a description of all pertinent details to understand the exploit and how to fix it. If the intention is to improve computer security, then these methods would hopefully serve to share new discoveries in the least harmful manner.
  • Sebastian Baliantz · 5 months ago
    lmfao these idiots just want to call themselves hackers they are morons
  • Michael Jahn · 5 months ago
    WORD.
  • Ziv · 5 months ago
    The advantage of full disclosure is so that individuals, not developers can be aware that flaws exist, rather than having them silently exploited by hackers who distribute exploits among themselves anyway.
  • Ari · 5 months ago
    Dude, you are not getting it. Most individuals are not running OSS operating systems and even if they are it does not mean that they would have to skills to fix the issue for themselves let alone others. Full disclosure goes beyond revealing that a particular feature in a product has a vulnerability and discloses details of the vulnerability including an example exploit. That information is useless to the average user but it can be used by other black hat hackers to create exploits of the vulnerability and spread it in the wild.

    You are assuming that all of the hackers will secretly distribute the exploit somehow without anyone finding out. That is highly in the internet age. I would rather have the exploit revealed to the vendor and possibly partial disclosure of the vulnerability to the extent that the end user can possibly temporarily disable the vulnerable feature until a patch is released without giving details to other unaffiliated hackers groups.
  • Reid · 5 months ago
    You're assuming that the "blackhats" haven't already found it. Are you so sure that's a good assumption?

    Or, and stick with me here I know it's a crazy idea, host your background on your own server. That way you have full control and users aren't bothered by their browser having to hit multiple domains just to get a page loaded.

    Nothing worse than sitting on a page waiting for it to load and seeing the browser is held up because it's waiting for some 3rd party domain to respond.

    Don't like it? Sucks to be you, I was part of it. Not actively, but I condone this. You may not like this, but that just means you should support Anti-sec even more. They got in because of full disclosure [pretty much means making it public, how to hack into sites like this.] That's how they knew how to do it. So, support them. You both want the same things; things like this to stop, or be harder to do.

  • ... · 5 months ago
    Sorry to say this, but, whine about it less. If it's that important of an organization, set up an Apache server, and host the images yourself. If you won't do that, because you don't want to take the time, why should other organizations and companies be held accountable for your organization's stuff, when they're doing you a favor in the first place? Apache is free also, and can be set up with minimal tech knowledge. There are also guides everywhere, and a few images won't be hard to host at all. You could even make yourself a site, if you wanted. If you can't set up an apache server because of bandwidth strain, then you are a large organization, quit being cheap and get some real Large Organization hosting, instead of being cheap... Myspace, really? But in the event you are a small organization, then you could host an apache server, since it is simple, and becasue of being a small organization, you should get a small amount of views, and therefore need a small server, and a small amount of bandwidth. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. ImageShack does what they can for you for free, so don't whine about it when they have issues outside their control. And if you have to REDO it all, you are, quite frankly, a complete retard. You should ALWAYS back up your work, or what you get, is fully deserved. Grow up. If you have a job, do it, and do it right, or else you don't deserve your job.

  • I_Support_Anti-Sec · 5 months ago
    No, finding those ways, then TELLING the black hats about them, and SELLING the fucking fix, is a bad thing. Get educated before replying, about full disclosure. And STFU? That's mature. Either way, this HAPPENED because of this very precedent. White Hats finding the problems, saying, "HEY EVERYONE THIS RIGHT HERE THIS VERY EXACT WAY I AM POSTING RIGHT HERE THIS CODE RIGHT HERE IS BAD IF RUN. IT IS AN EXPLOIT AND IS NOT FIXED. DO NOT USE IT!", and then selling the fix for said exploit. It's like me placing a nuke somewhere, then going over to the terrorists, and setting down a button in front of them, pointing to it, and saying, "This button right here detonates a nuke that will kill millions and be generally extremely bad to those you hate. DO NOT PRESS IT.", maybe putting a sticker next to the button that says, "Do Not Press", and then trying to go and sell the people at where the nuke would hit, a defusing kit/defense system. Kinda generating a market that would be otherwise less necessary. So grow up.

  • px · 4 months ago
    They were not trying to "garner support for their cause". They were letting people like you know that you are the cattle of the internet, and you are about to be sent to bovine university.

    *HISTORY LESSON* Infosec is primarily dominated by whitehat researchers that work for free, exposing the vulnerabilities of the internet for a few moments of fame and fun. Antisec is not advocating responsible disclosure, antisec is saying they will no longer tell the public about bugs for free, and rather, they are going to use what they know to take control of the internet, and do wtf they feel like.

    These are not your friendly neighborhood hackers, these are the hackers on steroids that fox news tried to warn you about. Think of antisec as an Ayn Rand inspired hacker religion.
  • Cj · 5 months ago
    what these guys posted is a load of BULL SHIT.

    Pretty much what they're saying is that they want to destroy security companies like Nortan Anti-Virus and McAffe so that we have absolutely no protection on our computers. Obviously, they have their own hacker that got into imageshack. Pretty much they want it easier to hack into other computers. Of course, this happens on the eve that our federal government getting hacked, along with South Korea, with intelligence officials pointing to North Korea, and ultimately China as the perpetrators, when you look at the big picture.

    Basically, they are trying to label the security companies as bad guys, but if you really look at them, they're the ones that look really, really suspicious.

    Did ImageShack roll back their website to an earlier version in order to fix this? I noticed that their last blog entry is from October 24, 2008. Have to admit that I don't really interact with ImageShack, but I find it hard to believe that they a) haven't updated since then and b) haven't responded to the hacking. I imagine that the users would very much like the admins to reassure them that their files haven't been lost (if what I'm reading in the comments is any indication).

    Bastards. My MySpace page is a mess of broken-image icons, and a lot of recently posted stuff in my ImageShack account is just blank. That's not normal. Usually, in place of a missing image, I'll see a "no thumbnail available" warning that I'm being punished for being a bandwidth pig or whatever. But this looks like an attack, all right. I'm guessing ImageShack has gotten as far as suppressing the Anti-sec messages somehow but hasn't managed to get users' content back up?

    These guys got things messed up.

    Full Disclosure forces software vendors to create updates to their flawed packages.

    Full Disclosure forces software vendors to be more security conscious.

    Without Full Disclosure we have a false sense of security.

    Without Full Disclosure, exploits will be in the hands of a few. It's like a master key.

    Think about "Bump Keys" - The vulnerability was known for ages by people in the know (and not all were trustworthy).

    Is it better to live in ignorance?

    If something is wrong on my system, I want to know NOW - not weeks or months down the road.

    Security by Obscurity has been the motto for so many vendors for too long.

    Eradicate Full Disclosure, I think not.

If these "seemingly good intention" people felt the desire to hack into and temporarily destroy a site then, why should we think that without the security was buy that nasty people won't do similar and worse things as well without anything there to stop them?
    If these people took away my images from this short time, then without security whats to stop anyone who is bored to do it again permanently, or do worse such as break into my bank account. and don't say that's a scare tactic, people people steal money and valuables from peoples houses. We call them robbers, so where the giant leap from that to people using the internet to do the same?

Surely the end result is that Imageshack will now be forced to spend undisclosed amounts to these security firms or go out of existence. If you really want to change the world and put security vendors out of business then start patching the loopholes for their clients and add your own tag if you really feel the need. This however does nothing except prove that full disclosure is good and those who offer fixes (whever vendors or third parties) deserve to be financially rewarded for doing so.

    The whole thing comes across as a very childish one-dimensional approach. "We decided we don't like this, so we're going to destroy things." If you actually had a convincing case, you could present that case to the security industry and win over a first wave of support without digital violence. Then, if you later decided that digital violence was the only answer, you would have support.

    As is, it's an illogical whinefest, ironically appropriate since the attack on imageshack effectively targeted teenagers' video game message boards.

  • regina · 5 months ago
    Why not promote delayed full disclosure. Disclose the full details once the patches are released and people have had enough time to patch their systems.

    If you blackout disclosure, you end up having a situation where people (network admins, etc) are oblivious to the exploit and take no preventative measures at all.

    Regardless of whether it's fully disclosed or not, the information is bound to make it through underground hacker networks (such as yourself, Anti-Sec) and these guys are not all noble out there and they're gonna have blast going out and hitting vulnerable systems while the network admins are caught unaware.

    What they are saying makes no sens. An undisclosed exploit is more likely to be more fatal than a public one. Users won't be aware of the exploit and there will be no patchs for a long time.

    I think of script kiddies as a feedback loop to the security community and developers (especially OSS developers). Without them, any exploit would be a lethal weapon in the hands of cyber criminals.

    Hey all, sorry about the delay in posting an update about this. We will be posting more details in our blog (at http://imageshack.us). Hackers were able to exploit one of our servers to gain control of how images are being served, which was detected almost within a minute. It took about an hour to restore normal functionality to user images, and none of the user images were lost of deleted due to this attack. Only a fraction of the servers were affected, so we were able to isolate them and remove the hack very quickly. ImageShack team has been working none stop this weekend, doing security audits and hardening our systems, so something like this never happens again. ImageShack has been hosting your images since 2003, has never had an outage or been hacked similar to this incident. Please be assured that security of your images and videos is our top priority, and we are doing everything what can be possibly done to keep your hosting media secure.

    Best,
    -Jack Levin
    CEO, ImageShack Corp.

    You people are stupid- the point of hacking the site was to get the message out, not show of how skilled they are. The thing you should be criticizing is the MESSAGE. It doesn't make sense- you want to find a problem with a program and not tell people about it? What if the company who has the problem doesn't want to fix it? Informing the public is the proper thing to do- it's not the best option, but at least it's not saying do nothing.
  • Crystal · 4 months ago
    I guess the problem is that while it's a nice little piece of hacking code, it doesn't really make the point. Almost everyone I know who isn't a security guru (and therefore already lives and breathes their own opinion on the matter) had to go and look up the word 'exploits' before actually understanding anything about the message at all. And when they do, their reaction is unfailingly something like "Stupid PETA-wannabe group!" or something similar. I really haven't met anyone who's been won over by this.

    In fact, I think the main reaction I've seen so far is something like "Right. -You- think this. You hacked some poor innocent corporation to say so. And your point is...?"

    I don't really agree or disagree with their motives; but they don't really come off very well, public relations wise. I mean yeah, it was publicity... but it was the sort of publicity you get standing trial for a mass murder.

    Regrettably, there's no good way to separate security researchers from script-kiddies on 'full disclosure' sites. Yes, it does lead to more people using the exploits, but this should occur after a competent user has patched their software in -most- cases. And companies -do- often place delays between releasing vulnerability data to their corporate customers or security vendors, and releasing them to the public.

    Contrary to their understanding, people who write malware are often -exceedingly- intelligent. Botnets are a highly lucrative enterprise with deep ties to the criminal underground. These peoples' argument is akin to calling for weapon control in a militant zone because the radicals there "won't find a way to get a gun."

    I understand their frustration, but this is simply irrational (plus a completely illegal outlet). There next to no way to identify exploits in IDS or antivirus without exploit code and knowledge of its activity.

    Dear Reader,
    In 48 hours, the anti-sec movement will publicly unveil working exploit code
    and full details for the zero-day OpenSSH vulnerability we discovered. It
    will be posted to the Full-Disclosure security list.

    Soon, the very foundations of Information Technology and Information
    Security will be unearthed as millions upon million of systems running ANY
    version of OpenSSH are compromised by wave after wave of script-kiddie and
    malicious hacker.

    Within 10 hours of the initial release of the OpenSSH 0-day exploit code,
    anti-sec will be unleashing powerful computer worm source code with the
    ability to auotmatically find and compromise systems running any and all
    versions of OpenSSH.

    This is an attack against all White Hat Hackers who think that running a
    Penetration Test simply searching for known vulnerabilities is all they have
    to do in order to receive their payment. Anti-sec will savor the moment when
    White Hat Hackers are made to look like fools in the eyes of their clients.

    Sincerely,

    -anti-sec
