Mass Attack is where you go after as many systems as possible.
Semi Targeted attacks mean you go after a group of targets. Such as you attack companies that use a specific program.
Targeted attacks mean you single out a single company for attack
Protecting Yourself
You can be tracked, but it's not usually worth their time
Hack from an Internet Connection that is unattached to you.
Leave no trace on your system -- Temp and Log files will document your activities
Use compromised systems for attacks
Use prepaid credit cards/ phones for transactions and communication
RUN and deny everything if found out

[elithecomputerguy]

@Midstr8 does it require my username and password..? ;) (in all seriousness please message me if there is a way to do it.)

[inyourfacesociety]

My left ear enjoyed this video.

[elithecomputerguy]

@inyourfacesociety I'm a COMPUTER guy, Not an A/V guy... ;) Unfortunately with YouTube you can't fix a video once it's uploaded so the videos with the screwed up sound are kind of stuck as they are...

[elithecomputerguy]

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS!!! The current attacks by Anonymous against the Justice Department, FBI, etc are real ATTACKS! There may be philosophical arguments about when you should rise up and fight your own government, but do not doubt that when you attack organizations that control people with real weapons that are willing to use them you may find your self on the very wrong end of an AR15.

[ekpurdy]

This video could have been about 7 minutes long.

[ekpurdy]

40 minutes into the video and all I've got is that there are different types of hackers and a few different types of hacks...
