Would you like to know what sorts of things they get up to when they're among themselves, and how they behave when they're holding court for the lulz they get from their marks?
DUer Oilwellian was kind enough to post a link to the chat log in which Anonymous had a little IRC "sit down" with folks from HBGary and HBGary Federal. BIG steaks and lager for Oilwellian, everyone! *meats* <- verb! I just meated!
Before we begin, there are a few things you should know. The following chat log occurred on a network called IRC, or Internet Relay Chat. A common app for this system is called
Mirc, which is free and a decent beginner's interface to the system.
Basically, IRC is like the Internet's CB radio. Anyone can create any channel they like using a unique name for that channel; these are usually indicated by someone saying something to you like "go to my room at #myroom". The hash sign indicates the beginning of the room name; all room names begin with a hash. In an IRC chat room, some users have an @ sign preceding their name. These are channel operators. They can bestow (or revoke) channel rights, including the ability to post, the ability to send/receive files, and other user privileges, as well as kicking (or kick/banning) other users from the channel. They may also be a bot, which is to say a channel robot, that can perform multiple functions, even acting as a file server for the channel.
IRC doesn't have arbitrary limits; it's the
ultimate chat. There are no pretty .gif icons, no ads, and (if you control the channel well) no spam at all. You can do color text, or highlited text, but that's about it. You control the settings, such as your nickname, using the command switch / . It's just about as barebones as you can get, and it's been around for a
long, long time, mostly because it works very, very well. If the Web ever dies, IRC (along with Usenet) will be 'where it's at' online. After all, those places, and places
like those, are pretty much where it all began (for the public) in the first place.
IRC chats can be a bit confusing, especially if there are a lot of people in the room, as there were in the logs you're about to read. Fortunately, you can also private chat someone, so you can hold your own conversation while everyone else is gabbing away. Best of all, you don't need an "account", as such; public IRC servers exist that each have thousands of channels. Much of it is a bare wasteland,
granted, but if you want/need a 'private' place (use that term advisedly, folks) to communicate in real time online, IRC is a good place to go. just set the server you want, the nick you want, and then log in and /join #channel_name to start.
With all of that out of the way, let's get started. Here's Anonymous, talking to its marks, and amongst itself.
Enjoy!
