Cyber Illuminate – Prism

gAtO lOcO-  I know conspiracy theory’s but this one stop me cold.  I was looking at a newscast and the NSA Prism illuminate_dollarlogo came on, OK pink Floyd – dark side of the moon rip-off but something caught my eye – the triangle on the dollar bill and the Prism logo triangle ummmm…. – an all seeing triangle -what every one tells about the Illuminate logo. If you apply a prism to data -it’s the same thing you grab all the light/data and filter it down to different data streams, categories -colors. I can see the meaning of the logo for prism now, wonder how much they paid a no-bid contractor for that logo.  prism-logo-61013

—a new world order – cyberspace —

Then I remember the CISPA fight we had a while back and on one of them it said. “Cyber Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act” that was pretty much the same thing we find now in what Prism does with phone and data collection. So my question is, if Prism has been going on since the Patriot Act and the NSA has been doing this legally.

Why CISPA? Why SOPA? Why PIPA? Come on Prism is legal so why all this data sharing when the government was doing it under our nose. I think what this kid Shoden did was stupid, but it’s his choice and he will live with this one way or another. What he showed us has opened a discussion that I think was needed in the cyber world. cispa

Cyber society is the new norm and we older-people must accept that these young men and women know this technology and how to use it better than we do. Cyberspace belongs to everyone today and I hope we together can change things for the better. But I don’t think the powers that be will give over so easily. Prsim is a perfect example of how the cold war mentality has change with the digital domain becoming more real. We will not recognize the Internet 10 years from now, but if the Illuminate have there way they will be watching us -  gAtO lOcO oUt…      Illuminate

Wikipedia Vector Attack

Wikipedia Vector Attack -Steve Colbert Cyber Hacker

gAtO lAuGh – when Steve Colbert showed us how to social hack -Wikipedia edits- and went after the VP pick for Romney. Anyone can edit Wikipedia so Steve’s  attack vector was to modify Tim, Paul and Christy any VP contender for the Mitt Romney. WikiPedia froze the edit feature of many political hopeful to stop this but this is a very good attack vector for hacktivist.

Jan 18 2012 We all freaked out when we protested SOPA blackout this year, we had no WikiPedia and people freaked, it one of those web applications that has become part of the fabric of cyberspace just as Google has become on search. This is a fine example of what web services does for a network these two services (Google and Wikipedia)  provide one service —INFORMATION— and today we cannot function without it. How many times have you had an argument with a friend and all of a sudden we go to Wikipedia of Google to settle the argument and the important part comes out – I am right!!! and your wrong –

Facebook is not one of these essential cyberspace service it’s actually a vacuum cleaner of cyber data about everyone that uses the service. Twitter is another tool that is a little different were Facebook is about ME, Twitter is about the rest of the world. This is what I mean all these web services that really integrate into the fabric of the web can be used as an attack vector in the right social context.

Steve Colbert showed that he could spark an attack, a hack so —I gAtO name Steve Colbert a cyber-Ninja -gATO OuT

Predictive Behavioral Security Analysis part 1:

Predictive Behavioral Security Analysis part 1:

gAtO bEeN -watching a mouse hole called Twitter lately, it’s an OSINT Open Source Intelligence source that monitors real events in real time. OSINT – is a form of intelligence collection management that involves finding, selecting, and acquiring information from publicly available sources and analyzing it to produce actionable intelligence.

 

cool dashboard – internet Storm Center - http://isc.sans.edu/dashboard.html

gAtO bEeN -watching World Web War (WWW) hacktivismn has jumped started this new year, #OpMegaUpload upset lot’s of people and the organization structure of Anonymous is getting more refine. Things happened in #poland #ireland and during the middle of a DoS attack Anonymous told their warrior on twitter:

 

http://trendsmap.com/

“@AnonyOps: #DDOS of European Parliament must stop NOW. They’re not the ones #ACTA

Later they tweeted this: “@AnonyOps: europarl.europa.eu back up after #DDOS. Thanks for listening to logic #Anonymous.go persuade the MEPs:

http://www.msisac.org/apps/dashboard/

Command and Control in your face and people responded to this organized movement. Each new attack everyone get’s better more coordination Anonymous is growing up. Just look at the causes #SOPA #PIPA  #ACTA #OpMegaUpload #poland #Ireland #SOPAIreland #France #Belgium  #FreeTopiary. The Anonymous thingy has grown up it’s a social conscious mindset created, manipulated, organic, ???? leaderless ????. The evolution of this movement has spawned OWS the Occupy Wall Street political movement has it’s roots in Anonymous, but you can see the worldwide community support for this group that is anyone. This movement will grow and mature.

http://www.fsisac.com/

Think about it.

This Week gAtO Learned mUcHo-mUcHo, we have not only the technical means but now the social monitoring needs that can be used to gather information like no other time before. Of course our governments are getting in on the fun.

Homeland Security DHS- Human Factors/Behavioral Sciences Projects:

  • Actionable Indicators and Countermeasures Project
  • Biometric Detector Project
  • Community Perceptions of Technology Panel Project
  • Community Resilience Project
  • Enhancing Public Response and Community Resilience Project
  • Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) Project
  • Hostile Intent Detection – Automated Prototype Project
  • Hostile Intent Detection – Validation of Observable Indicators of Suspicious Behavior Project
  • Human Systems Engineering Project
  • Human Systems Research Project
  • Insider Threat Detection Project
  • Mobile Biometrics System Project

  • Risk Prediction Project
  • Violent-Intent Modeling and Simulation Project

And the CIA got into the fun[1] way before it was hip to monitor the web. We know the government has all kinds of databases of all kinds of things they collect remember echelon and carnivore the FBI first grab at data. Then we yell at the CHinese for doing the same thing we did, they learned from us about gathering information about people. Now cyberspace ties us in even tighter with SMS, streaming video, encrypted mobile chats for the masses. But as more is piled on more tools are developed. Recorded Future[2] was a little geek company sucking in the data and developing Analytical tools for Intelligence forecasting and the CIA loves them.

Predictive Behavioral Security Analysis is just monitoring choice which is freedom for it is predictive and can then be manipulated to plant an idea, a spark, a tweet. “Egypt can be free” this little spark is setting the fuel for the flames that will burn in Cairo by it’s people via Twitter, Facebook and any other social media. The Arab Awakening -Arab Spring was an simple idea, manipulated in cyberspace by protester, dissidents and governments in Tunisia, Bahrain, Syria and others, we will see Iraq’s move in March of this years with it’s election, they are closing down their Internet but will the idea of freedom explode anyway. We will be monitoring this – gAtO OuT

Underground Cyber War-TangoDown OpMegaupload

gAtO wItNeSs – LIVE International Underground Cyber War via  Twitter this weekend. #Anonymous #Megaupload #OpMegaupload #TangoDown …

If you haven’t heard, police in New Zealand raided MegaUpload.com took down the site and confiscated the servers and all the materials, copyrighted or original content. Remember SOPA protest last week this raid was a SOPA raid by the New Zealand government. They used (Low Orbit Ion Canon) and other tools plus  Twitter (Twitter follower could click on a link and that would launch a dDoS attack -live crowd-source enabled TangoDown attack.

http://pastebin.com/WEydcBVV

  1. Twitter – @AnonymousWiki - January 19th, 2012
  3. Popular file-sharing website megaupload.com gets shutdown by U.S Justice – FBI and charged its founder with violating piracy laws. Four Megaupload members were also arrested. The FBI released a press release on its website which you can view here:

    German Internet millionaire Kim Schmitz (Kim Dotcom) arrives for. a trial at a district court in Munich in these May 27, 2002 file photos. New Zealand police broke through electronic locks and cut their way into a mansion safe room to arrest the alleged kingpin of an international Internet copyright theft case and seize millions of dollars worth of cars, artwork and other goods. German national Schmitz, also known as Kim Dotcom, was one of four men arrested in Auckland on January 20, 2012, in an investigation of the Megaupload.com website led by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. Reuters

  4. http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/justice-department-charges-leaders-of-megaupload-with-widespread-online-copyright-infringement
  5. We Anonymous are launching our largest attack ever on government and music industry sites. Lulz. The FBI didn’t think they would get away with this did they? They should have expected us.

Anonymous Twitter feeds kept everyone informed, supporters retweeted it,  joined in the attack  and soon you could see the traffic increase 100% over the course of the event. The attack vector was dDoS but they manage to delete sites like cbs.com down to the bone. Another defiance stance from Anonymous and their crew(z) this weekend showing who has bad security. This is a way for Anonymous to be job creators (mEoW), because these companies need more security people fast…  

**- Will these companies try and hide these attacks? Will these organization disclose if any identifiable USER INFO was compromised? – Will we see unencrypted USER INFO (credit cards -mastercard.com was tango down)in the wild of cyberspace? -**

When gAtO saw Justice.gov and http://justinbieberweb.com/ got TangoDown gAtO kNeW they meant business. When the .gov took a hit you saw thing start to happened…like Anonymous.action-24.com is a fake forum created by the authorities (FBI).

“A security expert (name withheld -Tweeted)” *** Is the (fully unsecure) #AnonGroup social network really run by #AnonOps / #Antisec ?

gAtO sEe- conspiracy theory (FBI vs Anonymous) all around this, but if this was true, or maybe a plant to throw distress amongst the Anons or to capture participants IP address. \I see some links to news Items pop up in pasterBin all the time to a blank post, one way of seeing who is following the #OpMegaupload / I still haven’t found out but I’m sure people are looking into this. Trust in the crowd-sourcing communication and tracking tools coordinating attacks and status is something any dissident groups is concern about, but that the FBI and other’s took notice of these attacks thats for sure Dude:

GOV TANGO DOWN! #Megaupload. » anonops AnonOps. “The Internet Strikes Back” is TT! » anonops AnonOps. The Internet Strikes Back #Megaupload info

At the end of the day we see the power of the people in cyber space, a world wide movement like the SOPA, OWS support. Most people don’t have a clue what’s been happening in the underground cyber war to keep it FREE.  |gAtO is no judge as to the protesters wether it’s right or wrong first #SOPA blackout then this massive attack on some major companies -movers and skaters bAbY. I just want these companies to come clean and do the responsible thing, full Disclosure  what happened. Protect my data or else I will not do business with you. Hacktivismn has taken a new turn and people want to belong, they want to be empowered, some are hipsters but the majority are real protesters, the new breed of (hacktivist ) that comes after this one will blow our minds.

 **- 5:17 P.M. Update: RIAA.org is now down.

5:55 Update 3: Tweets indicate there may be more attacks to come this evening.

5:55 Update 3: Tweets indicate there may be more attacks to come this evening.

7:47 Update 4: Anonymous is reporting FBI.gov as down. Some people report being able to get through, but the site is clearly under a lot of stress.

8:19 Update 5: Now it’s definitely down. FBI.gov, that is. MPAA and RIAA sites are back now though

 A masked hacker, part of the Anonymous group, hacks the French presidential Elysee Palace website on January 20, 2012 near the eastern city of Lyon. Anonymous, which briefly knocked the FBI and Justice Department websites offline in retaliation for the US shutdown of file-sharing site Megaupload, is a shadowy group of international hackers with no central hierarchy. On the left screen, an Occupy mask is seen. Getty

Expect Us! is their motto, we better be prepared - gAtO oUt

Until this mess is clear , I hope you saved copies and can upload them to alternative sites like megaupload.com like Putlocker.com, Filebox.com or Depositfiles.com or one of the many other cyberlockers available so that people can continue to enjoy them while Megaupload is not working.
