Anonymous isn't a single group, it's a collective if groups working towards a common goal (apparently).

There's no centralisation of structure therefore no way to tell.

Bear in mind also, anybody can claim to be a part of this collective, it's not a closed group

You should check out the trending on pastebin, since lulzsec started there have been a lot of copycats.

i do suppose the real guys who started this arent going to sue copycats :L

thanks

You heard wrong

One of those groups performed a DoS attack against the CIA web-server, but that's not hacking I'm afraid.

That doesn't mean it was hacked. The performed a denial of service attack or distributed denial of service attack against it. It's not hacking.

I'm afraid I'll have to second this, I doubt it caused too much disruption and packeting boxes *isn't* hacking.

Unfortunately, the termed has been abused and misused so many times now - it's seen as anything mischievous with computers. There's a saying that used to go around 'Hack to learn, don't learn to hack'. I guess, only real hackers truly understand what it means.

if you dont know how to hack,how can you hack to learn?
if you learn to hack , you can hack to learn

Because the definition of hacking;


Hacking is the practice of modifying the features of a system, in order to accomplish a goal outside of the creator's original purpose. The person who is consistently engaging in hacking activities, and has accepted hacking as a lifestyle and philosophy of their choice, is called a hacker.


It takes very little skill and a lot of patience to hack anything. In doing so you will learn new things.

I don't like the way "hackers" are portrayed in the media as they are normally viewed as evil individuals that dwell in a small dark room with a PC, and normally associated with financial fraud of some sort.
Programmers are, in a sense, hackers because they take code and manipulate it to what they want it to do. It is very similar to what real black hat hackers will do when they are trying to penetrate a system.
