 |
|
Several members of Daves ESL (myself included) have been affected today, by the childish antics of the 'Anti-sec Movement'.
Avatar images on Daves ESL, originally under 100 bytes as per the terms of service, & hosted by Image Shack, are being progressively replaced with a huge 'Anti-sec Movement' banner image, 600 x 800, that disrupts the functionality of the site.

If other users have their avatars affected, it might be prudent to remove them, until such time as Image-Shack fixes the problem.
Edit: 4chan, the largest English imageboard on the web, may also have been infected / attacked. |

"Anti-sec. We're a movement dedicated to the eradication of full-disclosure. We wanted to give everyone an image of what we're all about."
"Full-disclosure is the disclosure of exploits publicly - anywhere. The security industry uses full-disclosure to profit and develop scare-tactics to convince people into buying their firewalls, anti-virus software, and auditing services."
"As an added bonus, if publication wasn't enough, these exploits are mirrored and distributed widely across the Internet with a nice little advertisement embedded in them for the crew or website which first exposed the vulnerability to the public.Meanwhile, script kiddies copy and paste these exploits and compile them, ready to strike any and all vulnerable servers they can get a hold of. If whitehats were truly about security this stuff would not be published, not even exploits with silly edits to make them slightly unusable."
"It's about money. While the world is difficult to change, and money will certainly continue to be a very important in the eyes of many, our battle is that of the removal of full-disclosure for the purpose of making it harder for the security industry to exploit its consequences."
"It is our goal that, through mayhem and the destruction of all exploitive and detrimental communities, companies, and individuals, full-disclosure will be abandoned and the security industry will be forced to reform."
"How do we plan to achieve this? Through the full and unrelenting, unmerciful elimination of all supporters of full-disclosure and the security industry in its present form. If you own a security blog, an exploit publication website or you distribute any exploits... 'you are a target and you will be rm'd. Only a matter of time.'"
"This isn't like before. This time everyone and everything is getting owned."
"Signed: The Anti-sec Movement" |
The message concluded with,
| Quote: |
| "No images were harmed in the making of this... image." |
"The extent of the damage done from the attack is unknown at this time. ImageShack has yet to comment."
Obviously, these cretins failed in Ethics 101.
