w00w00.org Staff speak ---------------------- reported by: sil @ AntiOffline.com AntiOffline staff members continue to sell our asses in order to support our crack habits and continously pay for answers to our elite ass questionees. While we do threatened all those questioned, we don't neccessarily injure anyone unless they deserve it. This weeks 10 questions go to w00w00 who are almost as elite as us. We do not condone their actions but will warn them that our uberleet gcc f00.c -o f00 && ./f00 skills will always prevail. As always our premonitions of worldwide fear continue as team w00w00 admits to something we knew all along, Team AntiOffline aren't just a bunch of trin00'ing script kiddies after all. 1) For reference where the hell did the name w00w00 come from? Who thought up the name and what exactly is a god damn w00w00? Was someone watching too many kungfu flicks or was it a wu-tang clan hip-hop thing? While we all dig the wu-tang hip-hop thing, it was not the source of the name. One night, I was confused about which group was the true group, and asked God for an answer. The room was filled with a bright light and a personage came to me and said, "Shok, all other groups are false. You must create a new group and call it 'w00w00'. It will be the next evolutionary step for mankind, and those who don't adapt will fall at the blade of the fittest." My heart was filled with tremendous joy, and with that, the journey began. As you can see from our dictionary (http://www.w00w00.org/files/misc/w00fun/w00w00.dict): w00w00: The ultimate state of consciousness which symbolizes w00dity w00dity: The truest form of unity w00ish: 1. A small community of highly religous professionals, dedicated to maintaing the holiness of the w00clan 2. Official w00w00 language w00mania: world-wide obsession with w00w00 and its culture w00lite, w00l (ant. dw00l): as elite as they come w00job: oral stimulation of the penis (fellatio) w00doo: official w00w00 religion w00icide: the w00way to die with honor Wung w00: official w00w00 martial arts style w00shu: w00w00's wushu style w00word: w00w00 word of the day w00nix: official w00os 2) People in the Computer Security Field flock to w00 advisories like crackfiends at a 2 for 5 convention. How many members of w00w00 security are there in all and what exactly would you like to have w00w00 as a group portrayed as? I think the best way to portray would be a professional non-profit security team with a wide variety of backgrounds, originally being derived from the underground. The name lets us interact with the underground/hacker community but our work lets us interact with professional/corporate community (http://razor.bindview.com). There are, in all, 31-32 members in 7 countries, 11-12 states, and 3-4 continents. The reason an exactly number cannot be given is because we a few bright=20 people who serve as "affiliates" rather than "members" (work with us, but not for us). 3) We as you may know are the most feared hackers on the planet, and do not mind all the attention we receive, however we decided to root www.w00w00.org last week with our elite imapd.c sploit and have found secret documentation which states team w00w00 once targeted AntiOffline for termination rm -rf /*f00 style... Do you fear us at AntiOffline? Oh, totally. We have always feared. If AntiOffline ever went offline, it would mark the end of all that ever was. 4) While we are flattered at the thought of joining w00w00 we would have to turn it down for bigger ventures. Is it true w00w00 wanted our elite gcc f00.c -o f00 ; ./f00 skills as underground members its newest members of the w00? It's true, but we are but mortals with financial limitations, and when we heard our $100 million offer wasn't enough, we sadly accepted defeat. 5) What would be your approach to breaking unto the hacker scene for up and coming hackers? We do not mean those pesky little fuckheads who gcc shit, break into hotmail, steal their girlfriend's AOL passwords, run warez sites, or deface domains. We mean those who are seriously jumping unto the scene. What advice would you give them? Go to school, download tons of source and learn, go to the future Hacker Institute of H4x0r1ng, DeVry, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Video Arcade to play Tekken10? Best advice I can give: fear us and the answers will come to you. 6) While we at the AntiOffline empire choose OpenBSD for anally secure reasons, what are your top OS' and why? Please be advised that no there should be no -name [aA-zZ]*Microshit* in this answer unless you would like to feel the wraith of our elite ass 12,000 strong trin00-fu sistumatik chopf00ey strength. Whats the OS' of choice for w00w00 and why? w00w00 is big enough that we can't get anyone to agree on a universal standard. We have all kinds of BSD lovers, Linux lovers, and Windows lovers. To avoid being too generic, I will say Theo de Raadt is a bright guy with a good operating but a bad attitude and lack of appreciation for those serving OpenBSD loyally. I would also like to eat Bill Gate's eyeballs with sushi within the next few weeks. 7) With all the hype surrounding IPO's, buyouts, and takeovers, is it true that w00w00 is contemplating selling out to AOL in hopes=00=00=00=00having an elite ass w00.wav file such as "You've got w00? at the price tag of 2 billion dollars and unlimited cd's of AOL 5.0? Whats w00w00's take on Security Groups and or sites jumping on the commercial bandwagon? Do you think this is positive for e-security or do you guys see it as a sellout and think security should remain free? Well, Yahoo stole our "Do you, uh, w00w00?" idea. We were going to break into the AOL distribution site and change the .wav so that all future versions would say "w00w00!", but haven't got around to it yet. On a more serious note, w00w00 will always be non-profit and condemn those groups that try to. People are free to branch off and start a for-profit group/company after a successful non-profit one, but it is a sin (I heard it straight from the source) to convert. It's even worse than those people who give drugs out for free, allow addiction to occur, and then demand sex and money for more (I admit I do this one, but I am the exception to the rule). =3D) 8) Where do you guys see the future of Internet security going within the next few years? Do you forsee a Distributed Protection of Service System coming in to play to protect future attacks such as DDoS'es and morons from compiling Solaris exploits left and right? Interesting. I'm going to have to steal this idea. Vendors will become more aware of security issues, and I think privacy will become a greater concern, but there will always be people writing sloppy code, and the government will always be asking for more power to invade privacy. 9) With all of these DDoS'es going on within the past few weeks do you think tasks should fall on administrators to go just a slight bit further in securing their systems or do you feel it should lie within the programmers who slip up coding, or even ISP's for not monitoring activities on their networks? Well, that's a tough question to answer. You can't expect the ISPs to do it, because some ISP will exploit the fact that others don't and profit from NOT taking steps (i.e., intentionally not monitoring packets to find the source of DDoS's). The same problem with programmers-- if Microsoft WinSock prevents you from building your own headers, someone else will build a driver that allows you to. If Solaris stopped allowing you to use IP_HDRINCL, people would switch to Linux or BSD. There is no solution to this problem because people like to find loopholes or profit from being ones who don't conform. 10) Can we have an 0-day irc shell or e-mail account like sil@sex0red.your.girlfriend.until.she.screamed.w00w00.org? Absolutely, I'll have our secretary get right on that. Many thanks go out to team w00w00 and their affiliates for giving us the time of day. As for other groups... You suck... This includes you l0pht for thinking I have any affiliation with Jane Vanisaprick of the gay hacker site AntiOnline in your response to my 10 questions...
