Anonymous vs ISIS: the ongoing skirmishes of #OpISIS
In the realm of social media wars, some are more fraught than others. Yet for months, Anonymous has been doing what it does best: hunting people. And now they are after ISIS.
ISIS has done much of their recruiting work through social media channels: Facebook and Twitter, as well as more esoteric platforms. They use social media, particularly Twitter, as a propaganda tool and on this front they are considerably in advance of NATO and other Western forces, who tend to view such use as more of a risk than an advantage.
But as ISIS, the most feared organization in the world (as far as the US State Department and mainstream media are concerned) has learned, sometimes all it takes to wipe you out is for your enemy to press a button enough times.
Here, then, is exactly how you push that button.
AnonOps, one of the central nodes in the Anonymous hive, has released specific instructions on how to cut off ISIS lines of communication and recruitment on Twitter.
1. Locating an Islamic State Twitter account
If you are new to this locating an Islamic State militant account can prove to be difficult however after locating your first account you will be able to find thousands more following these steps. ISIS militants and their supporters feed off of attention and publicity commonly using Twitter hash tags such as #IslamicState among others. Run a Twitter search using this hash tag and you will find your first Islamic State account. If you are still having difficulty locating an account Twitter search #CtrlSec or #OpISIS
2. I have located my first Islamic State Twitter account
Now that you have located your first Islamic State Twitter account you will now be able to collect many more and form a vast network of information. With the account you initially located review all of their following and followers collecting Twitter account names as you move forward. When you are collecting account names you must retrieve their Twitter ID by visiting http://gettwitterid.com/ If you do not collect the account ID they can easily change their account name to evade you as they commonly do once detected. As you are collecting Islamic State Twitter accounts check each bio and their tweets for website URLS and log the information. With the data you have compiled visit http://pastebin.com and publish a paste of your findings.
3. I have a list of Islamic State Twitter accounts and URLS.
Now that you have collected this information you can take action against them by reporting them to Anonymous, authorities and Twitter. If your paste link contains Islamic State Twitter accounts you can tweet your paste making sure to use the hash tag #CtrlSec so the corresponding operatives can collect your link and terminate the accounts. If your paste link contains Islamic State website URLS tweet them using the hash tag #GhostSec so their operatives can collect intelligence and disable the website. If you have concerns for your personal safety you can alternatively email us with your information at ghostec@riseup.net using a anonymous mailer service such as http://anonymousemail.me
Your contributions to our cause are immensely appreciated and this could never be achieved without your unyielding support.
Your move, Caliphate
