Antisec hackers replace all imageshack images!

The hacking group/movement antisec has replaced every image on imageshack with a hacked image and has posted the following to the full disclosure mailing list.

        Anti-sec. We're a movement dedicated to the eradication of
        full-disclosure. We wanted to give everyone an image of what we're all
        about.

        Full-disclosure is the disclosure of exploits publicly - anywhere. The
        security industry uses full-disclosure to profit and develop
        scare-tactics to convince people into buying their firewalls,
        anti-virus software, and auditing services.

        Meanwhile, script kiddies copy and paste these exploits and compile
        them, ready to strike any and all vulnerable servers they can get a hold
        of. If whitehats were truly about security this stuff would not be
        published, not even exploits with silly edits to make them slightly
        unusable.

        As an added bonus, if publication wasn't enough, these exploits are
        mirrored and distributed widely across the Internet with a nice little
        advertisement embedded in them for the crew or website which first
        exposed the vulnerability to the public.

        It's about money. While the world is difficult to change, and money will
        certainly continue to be a very important in the eyes of many, our

        It's about money. While the world is difficult to change, and money will
        certainly continue to be a very important in the eyes of many, our
        battle is that of the removal of full-disclosure for the purpose of
        making it harder for the security industry to exploit its consequences.

        It is our goal that, through mayhem and the destruction of all
        exploitive and detrimental communities, companies, and individuals,
        full-disclosure will be abandoned and the security industry will be
        forced to reform.

        How do we plan to achieve this? Through the full and unrelenting,
        unmerciful elimination of all supporters of full-disclosure
        and the security industry in its present form. If you own a security
        blog, an exploit publication website or you distribute any exploits...

        "you are a target and you will be rm'd. Only a matter of time."

        This isn't like before. This time everyone and everything is getting 
      owned.

If you think that we oppose your website, our advise is to pack it up and shut it down, because we're coming for you.

Thousands (Millions?) of sites img src'ing from imageshack are now displaying this hacked image. Certainly one of the largest pwnages I've seen in a long time. This is also the same group which recently hacked Astalvista.

The unlucky event..


That was not a very nice thing to do. I wonder what made a person do such a thing to the image shack? And more importantly who has the time? After work and the kids I am to beat to do much other than read a few news stories before falling asleep.

I sure do hope they catch the person or persons responsible for hacking the site because image sheck is a really great site for images.


Their stated reasons are bull. While it's understandable to view the likes of Symantec and McAfee with suspicion, that doesn't make it okay to deface a website. What this "group" is suggesting violates the very principle that defines The Hacker Ethic: the free flow of information.


0-day exploit founded in OpenSSH is private , so security vendors can't patch or fix the vuln . The current reality of underground is tragic, full disclosure is tragic. The closure of information and help to script kiddies is the way. Underground must be closed and elitist. See the past to live present. Greetz to anti-sec.


Anti-Sec....
Stop f*king with HF, BHF and MilWorm among others....
If you don't, then get ready to get pwned by Hackers United.


There is no openssh exploit that is a rumor. Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.
