Anonymous Wants You To Take Down ISIS: Using Python

Recently, the world has witnessed the word war between ISIS and Anonymous. Some skeptics are actually doubtful whether Anonymous' plans will work against ISIS. You see there is a big difference between these two groups: ISIS operates on more radical and active ways while Anonymous acts silently but with considerable damage. So far, Anonymous has taken down a lot of Twitter accounts of ISIS recruiters. Some journalists say that Anonymous may actually succeed in fighting ISIS because the latter militant group recruits followers and communicates with its members through online social media. If communication is breached between followers, there is no unity towards the common goal. Thus the old adage "In unity there is no strength" holds true.

Recently, Anonymous has made an announcement to amateur programmers. It creates a call of action in fighting the war against ISIS. Through the The International Business Times, Anonymous has posted three guides on how to  identify ISIS-affiliated Twitter accounts and websites, as well as how to hack ISIS websites.

It said, ""Instead of sitting idle in the [chat] channel or lurking around and doing nothing, you can benefit greatly from the different tools and guides that have been provided to you. Your contribution means a lot and we encourage you to partake in all of the Op's activities if you can, the more the merrier."

It further went on , ""There should be plenty of work to keep you occupied so get going. If you wish to submit anything of value, place your findings on ghostbin.com and share to the link to one of the channel operators and we can talk about what to do next."

In this guide, Anonymous outlines the steps you need to make to help take down ISIS: using Python our favorite programming language. Here are the steps Anonymous has outlined:

Instructions for finding ISIS-related websites

1. Get Python at https://www.python.org/downloads/ unless you already have it (Mac does)

2. Open Terminal (or Command Prompt for Windows) and type (without quotes) "python"

3. Now, this step requires a little explanation. Let's set this out neatly, shall we...

Copy the contents of the following link to your clipboard https://ghostbin.com/paste/oo4tb
The contents of that link are some search terms that relate to ISIS and their content, allowing you to narrow down the results to specific ones
Paste the strings into the Terminal and press Enter

4. Choose a couple of strings (3 recommended) from the list of strings. For this example we will use strings 3+38+46

5. Once chosen, continue in terminal (without quotes) "print(str3+str38+str42)" and copy the results

6. Paste the results in https://www.google.iq and analyze the new results To translate pages, it is recommended to use Google Chrome, which has integrated translation

7. Submit any valid ones to one of the channel operators and we will deal with the info accordingly


Some people have actually met success with hacking using Python. You can hack Twitter accounts using Python. According to one article, you can even learn Python by hacking first. CLICK HERE on how to do it. 

There is even a video in Youtube that teaches you how to hack using Python. 

Look, I'm not teaching you to hack here. In every situation there is always the good and the bad. 

There are actually good things that you can get from hacking, and there are bad things that you can do with it. 

Ciao, till my next post. I'm actually enjoying my morning cup of coffee now so don't disturb me.
