As before, some of these are in arabic, but still worth perusing because the images tell a story. These are criminal minds at work here. There is so much data on over 3000 INDIVIDUAL groups in the vault, not to mention DVDs containing thousands of hours of their own videos that show exactly what these people are up to, that it is difficult to post info on them because the sheer volume is overwhelming.
Suffice it to say that they are many and they are ready. They are not as backward as our government would have you believe. They use technology a well as any cracker or hacker worth their salt. They are constantly innovating, constantly preparing for attacks, many of which can go undetected for months. They use steganography as well. Data hidden in images is one of their pet games.
Do NOT be fooled by pronouncements downplaying their capabilities. They have money, know-how, and determination and they are perpetually poking and prodding.
What you see on most “security” sites is already public knowlege repackaged with “analysis” which is more often wrong than right.
Do yourself a favor, and use your own good sense. You will understand better and be much better informed if you DON’T let someone else do your thinking for you.
The thread at this link is 1,407 posts. Incredibly, most of them are links to information that most people should be aware of, but aren't. The first post is from January of 2004. The last post is from February 28, 2010. Anyone who is interested in this TM thread will be very interested in Backhoe's compiled links. Please check it out. You can't ever have too much information. THIS is war. You have to know the enemy.
Backhoe, thank you for allowing me to post this. It is one of the all time best threads on Free Republic.
