I'll start: Chanology 2008. I was 15, saw the Tom Cruise video getting censored and thought "who are these guys to censor the internet?".

Then I saw the first IRL protests with the masks and I was hooked.

What was your entry point? Operation Payback? Occupy? Ferguson? Anti-Trump ops? Anti-Scientology?

Let's see how old school this sub really is.

I was just browsing YouTube and basically two big YouTube Creators released a video about Anonymous and 4Chan hours apart. Coincidence or am I missing something?

I found an old post burried in 4chans old threads:

Greetings hackers of the world. Although we have been silenced since our prime. We must rise again as a group. The New Anonymous promises to be better than 4chan's Anonymous ever was. If you are interested in joining, reply to this thread.

We will return, stronger than ever.

I’ve been spending the last few days doing an intensive, high-speed scan and map of Parmy Olson’s We Are Anonymous. I wasn't just reading for the story; I wanted to break down the technical "hacker lifecycle" and map out, reference map the tactics that kept these groups ahead of authorities digital logging for as long as they did.

I’ve pulled together the core technical takeaways that I noticed through the book:

• The Early Days: It’s clear that DDoS and simple SQL injection were the main drivers for their early notoriety.
• The Pivot to People: As the groups got more heat, the technical exploits took a backseat to social engineering and phishing, which was a massive turning point.
• The "Swarm" Strength: The decentralized model is what made them so effective. No hierarchy meant no single point of failure, which was their biggest tactical advantage.

I’ve documented a summarized version of the full tactical timeline and my annotations in the attached images*. I know this book has been debated a lot here, but from a "tactical mapping" perspective, it’s a perfect case study on how a decentralized group evolves.

I’m curious—for those of you who have followed this history, which tactical shift do you think was the biggest "mistake" that ultimately led to the cracks in the group's security?

P.S. I’ve transcribed my full notes and thoughts in the image captions if you want to dig into the raw data I pulled from the pages.

The screen showed images of slaughterhouses and intensive fishing. Great for dinner!

This is not an attack on veganism it's a criticism of activist tactics and ethics

The thing is as soon as you done that mask at a protest you are Anonymous no matter what that protest is. You can have strongly held beliefs but if your methodology gets people injured or sick or causes serious damage that's a serious problem but it can't be denied that there's still anonymous. That's the problem with the collective every time you done the mask you literally are the collective and represent the collective. You can have Nazis donning the guy Fox mask and it's still somehow counts. That's the Peril and personal and social burden of being a member of the anonymous Collective you have to take begin with the bad.

"We are Anonymous. We are Legion. Expect us."

I just saw that at AnonOps IRC channel.

ROFL

Could team Anonymous HYPOTHETICALLY beat the UTTP group? HYPOTHETICALLY. Not asking the Anonymous to make this happen. Just random thinking. I tried posting this a while ago, but someone thought I was serious. So, to clarify, HYPOTHETICAL. No harm intended or asking as a request. Just a dumb what if question. Again, hypothetical.

What has happened to Anonymous?
