After playing around with the file in an Access database for a bit, it looks to be there are

16952 hotmail.com
3925 gmail.com
53 .gov
8077 yahoo.com

addresses in there

Thats only about half of them in there, there are many ISP level emails as well.

Ok, a couple things....

First: Yeah, it was the CIA site that got hacked, but it will be the FBI that will make the arrests here in America. The CIA is an international organization, they deal primarily with foreign governments and affairs. The FBI is the organization that deals with the domestic affairs. Both have overlapping jurisdiction (ie: the CIA does an occasional investigation domestically, and the FBI does some international investigations, but they try not to step on each other's toes).

Second: Get keepass. One password is all you have to remember. It will even generate random passwords for you, and can be run from a USB memory stick (if you're ultra paranoid). And use a quality firewall, not the flimsy thing that comes packaged with Windows.

Third: Use some common sense when online. Don't go to "h4CkeR'z" sites. These kids are malicious little cretins that find pleasure in causing harm and stealing from people. If they go to the trouble of putting up a web site, it's safe to assume they are doing it for ulterior purposes. (I personally find my pleasure seeing them put in a federal prison where their skinny, un-bathed selves will ultimately become Bubba's wife.)

Anyone care to recommend a good firewall that is effective but at the same time not too intrusive or system resource intensive? I don't even mind paying really if it's a good piece of software. I've heard ZA isn't as highly regarded as it once was. :shrug:

Can't download Keepass, the direct link gives me corrupted and unreadable files. :meh: Any other safe place to dl other than sourceforge?

Comodo (http://www.comodo.com/) is an excellent firewall/antivirus package, and is free. There are many others, just be sure to read the reviews before choosing one. Some of the big names (Norton, Mcafee, etc) have serious system resource issues, and cause more problems than they solve.

The thing about Anonymous is that you can't lump them together as a single group. The requirement for being in Anonymous is that you have an anonymous internet presence, but other than that there is no code of conduct, no cause to follow, and no leadership. Oftentimes, they are morally good as far as opposing unjust things go. Only recently have they been painted in such a negative light. The cause of this would be that some of the splinter groups now have an extremely hypocritical and self-righteous viewpoint, and their actions can border on terrorism.

For instance, in their defense of Wikileaks they attacked any company that spoke out against it. Wikileaks, in principle, is all about exposure of information, but Anonymous' stance on the matter was that they wanted to control the information and crush those who speak against them. That is the very belief Wikileaks was opposed to. Anonymous pretty much ignored its own principles and used it as a banner to rally under, yet they chose instead to fight fire with fire, because to them Wikileaks was simply an effective tool for fighting the status quo.

Other groups of Anonymous, however, was more about vigilantism. They contacted the police to arrest animal abusers, distributors of child pormography, and other internet criminals. They had peaceful demonstrations on the streets to speak out against the Church of Scientology. But those are the minority of the group, while the majority pretty much does the same things that LulzSec is now doing.

Anonymous targeted Amazon because they would not allow donations to be made to Wikileaks...but still allowed donations to be made to the KKK. Anonymous isn't perfect, but it's made up of real people, and they each have the same amount of input. Governments and corporations have a top-down hierarchy that is prone to corruption. Any group who wants to keep that in check is fine by me.

Not for me it isn't, if there weren't any Hackers we wouldn't be in this situation in the 1st place.

Actually, any form of leadership is prone to corruption, they only differ in how said corruption appears. Anon's loose forms of leadership/membership open it up to extremists/"for the lulz" people who seemingly go against the founding principals because there is (as far as we know) no internal checks and balances to prevent that sort of thing from happening. While this means it's difficult for the group as a whole to become corrupt, you do have corrupt pockets that can very easily destroy their reputation, or "push out" the original members by simply attracting anarchists of all sorts, rather than white-hat hackers who want to try to do morally good things with their abilities.

You're right. You wouldn't have an operating system, the web, or even a computer probably if not for hackers

The download works for me....

Here is the link to the direct download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/keepass/KeePass%202.x/2.15/KeePass-2.15.zip?r=http%3A%2F%2Fkeepass.info%2Fdownload.html&ts=1308241231&use_mirror=voxel

Nope... the file it's self is corrupt, as you said.

Here is the link to Keepass on Cnet: http://download.cnet.com/KeePass-Password-Safe-Professional/3000-2092_4-10916116.html?tag=mncol;1

Read an article about these hackings and where they called Lulz Security a group of "School Yard Kids" for using off the shelf products to hack these sites. It's sad that these sites were taking down by "Off The Shelf" products however if it is true then I have something else to call these people. They are nothing but little tiny insignificant "Script Kiddies" and they're probably the left overs of the old Counter-Strike days. Little noobie script kiddies watching lol cat in the morning to "Psych" themselves up to hack a website.

Speaking about "Real" hackers out there I find them to be more dangerous than these amateurs. The real ones are deciphering the Stuxnet worm since it was obtained the deciphered by the real hackers out there. Sadly with that kind of weapon they have a virtual ICBM at their hands with which to kill networks. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw that thing used on a Power Plant relabeled Anonymous Cyber Missile Executioner (ACME).

I guess the difference is that when someone from Anonymous does do something the group disagrees with, they can choose to disavow them. When someone at the top of a company wants to do something insidious, everyone below them has to follow suit - or lose their job.



Hackers, computers, internet, electricity, fire, sharp rocks, pointy sticks...

Jester > LulzSec

So...I've installed KeePass and I've created a database with a master password.

How do I use it now? lol

How do I generate passwords for my online user accounts and be able to store them using KeePass? How do I make it work on a pendrive? (do I just move the installer and its files on the pendrive? + the database that I saved)

This. The more I hear about th3j35ter, the more I like him.

Has he done anything against LulzSec yet? Aside from the video last night.

So my girlfriend came up with a theory.

Bigfoot, after being chased and hunted for years and years, has finally adapted to the world and has learned to use computers and other forms of modern technology. Lulzsec is Bigfoot, and that's why he's attacking government sites and gaming sites. To keep government agencies and nerdy believers off his back.

NGFR... :sadvaultboy:

Here is the online documentation: http://keepass.info/help/base/index.html

Don't over complicate it. It's a really simple program, and the easiest way to learn how to use it is to make a temporary database, and tinker around with it. Once you have it figured out, make your real database, and go with it.

What? Why do you support hacking attempts and DDoS attacks against companies? Extremist sites maybe, but companies?

Nobody should be supporting any of this behavior.

I mentioned in a previous post, Amazon was accepting donations for the KKK but not for Wikileaks. That shows they have no morals, simply a political agenda, and a vitriolic one at that. If they had a general policy about donating to inflammatory groups and had banned both, that'd be different. As it was they deserved everything they got and more. Customers weren't harmed except for being briefly prevented from using a service which they should have been morally obligated to avoid anyway.

Do you happen to have a source that backs up your claims?

Can someone explain to me the difference between "hacking" and "cracking"? From what I understand, crackers are usually the ones you see end up in jail for a few years.

If you want more, just google "amazon wikileaks kkk," a lot of places ran the story.
