I am tired of seeing it and tired of hearing about it. If I knew Anonymous’s phone number I would call them but I don’t . I just want to be a person like them when they took down child porn rings except this time it is Nazi’s and all that entails

    Welll, if you’re fired up enough, there are politically oriented movements like antifa. Trying to play hacker isn’t something you jump into and six months later, you’re taking down servers. But anyone can be an extra body at a protest, and protests can work, particularly when they’re direct action.

    It all depends on your degree of motivation and commitment.

      Which is the one that did the Jan 6 insurrection? Besides doing deep dives into wikipedia I think it would be funny to screw or make fun of the rioters.

        Huh?

        My dude, you aren’t making much sense here.

        What I’m saying is that trying to screw with people, be it by trying to be a script kiddie, or making fun of the insurrectionists is a waste of your time. I mean, go ahead if that’s your thing, I ain’t your dad.

        But if you’re wanting to do something, and it be useful, you gotta get into protest and direct action.

    If you can’t even figure out how to get on the dark web, you’re definitely not going to figure out how to take down multi-billion dollar empires (which is a felony, btw). Besides, you’ll find way more disturbing Nazi shit on the dark web than wherever you’re seeing it now.

    You’re essentially expecting to be able to build a spaceship without rudimentary knowledge of mechanical engineering, physics, or aerospace science. The people who took those sites down have spent a lifetime learning about programming, networking, software engineering, and cyber security. Your anger would be better channeled into established protest groups, or letters to your representatives (although I’d recommend running your letters through ChatGPT for clarity and grammar).

    Anonymous’s nature is thay they do not have a centralised group. Anyone with the skill to bring down a website could identify themselves as anonymous.

    Look up on libgen about books about pentesting to get a start on how you can take sites down. It’ll be helpful when looking for exploits to take down sites.

    As for browsing dark web, you will need Tor Browser.
