Anonymous Releases "How to Hack ISIS" Guide, Terrorists Respond with "How to Stay Safe" (Photo)
Despite being mocked in the beginning, the cyber-war between Anonymous and ISIS is now escalating, with the former releasing a guide on how to find and hack ISIS members. Meanwhile, the terrorist group responded by sharing pieces of advice on how to prevent getting compromised online.
Anonymous declared war on ISIS three days ago, after the terrorists carried out their infamous attacks in Paris, last Friday. The hackers started by discovering and taking down 5,500 Twitter accounts and setting up a special website where people could search or contributing to their database of known ISIS members.
They published:
NoobGuide: A guide that explains the basic principles of DDoSing, WiFi deauth, password cracking, and various other hacking terms.
ReporterGuide: It covers launching a reporter bot against a list of Twitter account IDs for discovering, reporting, and taking down ISIS-related accounts.
SearcherGuide: A guide explaining how people can help Anonymous find more ISIS websites/pages/information.
ISIS on their own part has not stayed quiet on its front hoping that all the noise goes away. They also called Anonymous 'idiots'.
Below is their counter-measures against Anonymous
This Cyberwar promises to be very interesting...
