Oops, maybe I didn't have your Skype ID after all. Mine's just "stilgherrian". Yours is...?

Questions look good. I've just listened to the majority of the podcast
with the Israeli from Imperva in question in addition to reading the
blog post. Am on Skype when you're ready.

Hi again Barrett,

OK, some bullet-points of what I think we might be able to cover... and while you may not have had time to listen to previous episodes it'll be a relaxed conversation because that's my style. We'll just improvise around these points.

I'll fire up Skype in about 15 minutes. More coffee required on a cold Monday morning here!

Cheers,

Stil




* I'll ask you the same question I asked Tal Be'ery last week. How do you know what you know about Anonymous?

* Now regular listeners to this podcast know that Anonymous isn't a traditional organisation with a leader and an organisation charts, but while we know that anyone can do something and say they're acting in support of the Anonymous cause, presumably there is some sort of structure because that's just human nature. Leaders emerge, even if just informally. What impression do you have of the structure?

 - changes over time?
 - has this changed much since the LulzSec-related arrests?
 - what about others using the anonymous brand covertly?
 - the Stratfor hack... why? Payment card theft vs political aims? as an FBI sting?

* LOIC as the (apparent) DDoS tool of choice, at least for what's seen in initial reports. Is this really what's going on?

 - your views of relative levels of technical sophistication?
 - political sophistication?

* Tal Be'ery thought that increased law enforcement activity will prevent long-term hacking campaigns now. Would you agree?

 - how do you see the Anonymous brand evolving over the next year?
 - Ustream / Russian govt etc... signs that non-US non-English-speaking focus will rise?

* What about hacktivism more generally? Other causes? India versus Pakistan? China? Israel versus Palestine?

* Outline of ProjectPM.
