hack microsoft, what kind've retarded statement is that..
if it was so simple why don't you just explain it for us
"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".
"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.
Ignorance is pouring from your comment.
To get to the htacess file you need to get access to the server.
So unless you think getting access to a server is easy.. well yeah it's simple.
secondly.. I'm sure you didn't understand the message this group has sent to the web.
Bah.. the message wasn't for you anyway..
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
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.

Nearly every forum alone will have members using imageshack.
That's why, you fail.
Read King Joe's comment and you'll see how retarded you are.

Educate yourself about full disclosure.
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.
Security through obscurity never works.
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.
My account has a number of their stupid manifesto images.
EPHIC PHAIL!
I still don't fully understand what Anti-Sec is =\ care to explain?
Unless we've fixed it already, Italic Forums will show you a great example of how much damage this little hack has done. What a pain in the ass.
GRR
Hope it back soon.
More exploits = more malwares being spreading on the world = more money to anti-malwares companies.
More then 6 of my pics where hacked by this shit.
Damn i'm french and i'm good at english but i don't see the point of there hacks and don't get where they will go with it!
Security blog?,exploite publication website?
Screw you,my pics where only pics of my Wh40k mini's!! there's nothing to do with all there crap!!
If those guys want that bad to send a message to those who make those sorta things hack there images!!,not those of people who as nothing to do with it!
Bande d'enculeurs de mouches a merde...-_-
Much like the Anonymous group [well, mostly] Anti-Sec has good intentions.. just a bad way of going about it. They've got my semi-support. As in, hey if you succeed awesome!
"Much like the Anonymous group [well, mostly] Anti-Sec has good intentions..blah blah blah" Wow, you're awesome. Get bent, dweeb.
Rick, you should read this..........http://tinyurl.com/bqqrvx
just kidding, i don't care.
But yes, I am, in fact, awesome.
Ian owns.
Tim Young, lame myspace page. 4chan pedolover.
Wow, that was hard.
I see losers like you around campus talking about your 4gay site, everytime.
Hopefully the mention of "no images were harmed" means that the file were not actually deleted, and Imageshack will be able to restore the original pictures soon.
*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.
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.
BTW...all Anti-Sec have managed to do is piss folks off...not garner any supporters.
GG you tools.
You want these idiots to procreate?

My forum was afected but now is working better.

Here's an interesting article about Anti-sec movement with links to "their manifesto" (which makes no sense to me or how this latest adventure relates).

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.

That will explain HOW THEY HACKED SERIOUSLY NO LIE IM SCARED ATM THIS IS INTERNET CHAOS

Wonder how long this is gonna keep up.
why hack millions of websites. could take months to spread that much by hacking a site one by one.

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?

shotgun: site was hacked last night and it was from someone who wants do hack every social site... All of my my space images
we're this black letter with whit wording on it with a threat and the name of the people who did it... Does anyone know if we are going
to be able to get back all of out images...???
Same deal, but with a real problem. I don't give a damn about thirty bucks for an AV! Go do something useful!

just signed in to my blog to get shocked.!!
All my image based links are gone!!
Idiotic anti Sec.
Quickly switched to tiny pic server.
Now my blog is oK.
Dunno when image shack is going to change it.
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.

and as for hacking a image hosting website being labeled as dumb... you're wrong. it is a quick and easy way to get propaganda and spread fear... to some you may not see it as fear. but in reality it makes them seem very larger then they really are. and thats the point to cyberterrorism am i not right? make it seem that no one is safe...
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.
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.
Those guys are trying to protect their source of income, nothing more.

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.
ITS SRS BZNSS!
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.

* Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]
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
