BR and FONT tags? What kind of markup is this?
HTML6 ;)
But seriously, I think they were either going for maximum compatibility or didn't really care.

#42Dudes. This is not at all helpful. Website defacements just create more of an excuse for a crackdown. If you're going to risk your life and freedom hacking things; make it worth your goddam time. Hack the prison industrial complex and get the evidence that shows that crimes are being created so that prisoners can be kept at a profit. Expose the email trails of corrupt judges who put away kids for kickbacks. Dox the m…

#43What about the rm -rf / on the command line? Tricky, but not a lot of people know how/where to use that command line in the first place.
You can't actually execute `rm -rf /` on most modern systems anyway. There's a flag to force it, but you'd have to be pretty determined to nuke your system.
no but you can execute
rm -rf /*Re: United States Sentencing Commission website hacked

Agreed. It gives them a new boogyman. A terrorist that cannot be named or specified by race, ethnicity, or any other factor. It opens the door to anyone they deem a threat being detained in relation with "anonymous". The very thing that made them will kill them. When the boogyman is nobody, it incriminates everybody.

#45Self-righteous idiots. Who made them judge and jury of the world? Do something positive.
USSC or Anonymous?

#46In terms of effectiveness, compared to other Anonymous campaigns, I feel pretty safe in saying the visibility of this campaign is going to be very high.

#47It's been a couple of hours since the hack. How does a major gov website not have a plan to act on this quicker? I wonder if they even have an alert letting them know something happened.
Re: United States Sentencing Commission website hacked
#48The narration seems to be in the style of v for vendetta, quite amusing to see such a portentous message on a hacked site. They've also made entire site editable. http://www.ussc.gov/index2.cfm
I wonder if it's entirely safe to use that link. They are probably trying to make some kind smokescreen and feed the feds with your IP addresses.

#49The site contains links to 9 encrypted files, one for each of the current Supreme Court Justices.
The files are intended to be concatenated into a single file named: Warhead-US-DOJ-LEA-2013.aes256
(US-DOJ-LEA = United States - Department of Justice - Law Enforcement Agency)
aes256 is apparently the encryption scheme used to encrypt the files.
File names (and sizes): 1115 MB total
Scalia.Warhead1 (150 MB)
Kennedy.Warhead1 (108 MB)
Thomas.Warhead1 (150 MB)
Ginsburg.Warhead1 (150 MB)
Breyer.Warhead1 (150 MB)
Roberts.Warhead1 (23 MB)
Alito.Warhead1 (150 MB)
Sotomayor.Warhead1 (101 MB)
Kagan.Warhead1 (133 MB)
The contents are various and we won't ruin the speculation by revealing them. Suffice it to say, everyone has secrets, and some things are not meant to be public. At a regular interval commencing today, we will choose one media outlet and supply them with heavily redacted partial contents of the file.
Should we be forced to reveal the trigger-key to this warhead, we understand that there will be collateral damage.
It is our hope that this warhead need never be detonated.
Summary: the file contains "various secret contents", the file has one encryption key to reveal all data, they intend to release previews of the data, they may not release the encryption key (although chances of this seem unlikely).
The encrypted data is almost certainly larger than the unencrypted data, my guess is the unencrypted data is closer to 600MB to 900MB (In the ballpark of the size of a standard 700MB data CD).
Initially I thought the 9 files may contain data about each of the SC Justices, or perhaps information intended for each of them. However, I think their names on files were simply chosen for effect.

Let's say this Anon's action inspires other Anons within the federal government to take in a USB key and torrent a few GB of internal emails. Then it's a huge win. Any Anons with sysadmin skills will now join the federal government (they're always hiring), turn off logging, bundle up a tar, cover their tracks, and put it on the web. Nothing will take down a .gov faster than shining some sunlight on their Pentagon Papers. If caught, each Anon can invoke federal whistleblower statutes and dare the courts to jail them and spawn one hundred more Anons. Some will no doubt be jailed, but the power to administer computers is now the power to hold unjust institutions accountable. This is information war.
