Andrew shows his dislike...........

........for anti-spammers.

There are very few people in the world that make me want to harm them...and I can't think of a solitary segment of society that makes me feel like a bigot...except for those damn anti-spammers...so to speak. There's just something about a person that believes he/she has supreme authority over someone else's ability to communicate effectively that makes me feel some sick sense of enjoyment at their miseries. It's actually quite disturbing because I know they are fucked up in the head, have about the same social life as a cop...which is one of the saddest things in human society in itself...and most of them are sexual deviants of some kind...but even with that knowledge...I still don't feel empathy for them. I need to work on this.

Andrew Jacob Stephens tries to lie is way out of trouble

Posting as Neo, Andrew tries to avoid the question as to why he used his edataking account at Vimeo to show two disgusting videos. Hardly the sort of thing that a God fearing Pastor would be associated with!

After seeing a screenshot of this alleged evidence, it is clear that there is no edataking watermark.  In fact, someone has simply created a Vimeo account and uploaded the edataking image to their profile.  Probably another character assassination move by one of your group.  No one else would do such a thing.

SpamHaus, CloudFlare Attacker Pleads Guilty

A 17-year-old male from London, England pleaded guilty this week to carrying out a massive denial-of-service attack last year against anti-spam outfit SpamHaus and content delivery network CloudFlare, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.

In late March 2013, a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack hit the web site of SpamHaus, an organization that distributes a blacklist of spammers to email and network providers. When SpamHaus moved its servers behind CloudFlare, which specializes in blocking such attacks — the attackers pelted CloudFlare’s network. The New York Times called the combined assault the largest known DDoS attack ever on the Internet at the time; for its part, CloudFlare dubbed it “the attack that almost broke the Internet.”
In April 2013, an unnamed then-16-year-old male from London identified only by his hacker alias “Narko,” was arrested and charged with computer misuse and money laundering in connection with the attack.
Sources close to the investigation now tell KrebsOnSecurity that Narko has pleaded guilty to those charges, and that Narko’s real name is Sean Nolan McDonough. A spokesman for the U.K. National Crime Agency confirmed that a 17-year-old male from London had pleaded guilty to those charges on Dec. 10, but noted that “court reporting restrictions are in place in respect to a juvenile offender, [and] as a consequence the NCA will not be releasing further detail.”
During the assault on SpamHaus, Narko was listed as one of several moderators of the forum Stophaus[dot]com, a motley crew of hacktivists, spammers and bulletproof hosting providers who took credit for organizing the attack on SpamHaus and CloudFlare.
WHO RUNS STOPHAUS?
It is likely that McDonough/Narko was hired by someone else to conduct the attack. So, this seems as good a time as any to look deeper into who’s likely the founder and driving force behind the Stophaus movement itself. All signs point to an angry, failed spammer living in Florida who runs an organization that calls itself the Church of Common Good.

Not long after McDonough’s arrest, a new Facebook page went online called “Freenarko,” which listed itself as “a solidarity support group to help in the legal defense and media stability for ‘Narko,’ a 16-yr old brother in London who faces charges concerning the Spamhaus DDoS attack in March.”
Multiple posts on that page link to Stophaus propaganda, to the Facebook page for the Church of the Common Good, and to a now-defunct Web site called “WeAreHomogeneous.org” (an eye-opening and archived copy of the site as it existed in early 2013 is available at archive.org; for better or worse, the group’s Facebook page lives on).
The Church of Common Good lists as its leader a Gulfport, Fla. man named Andrew J. Stephens, whose LinkedIn page says he is a “media mercenary” at the same organization (hours after this story was posted, large chunks of text were deleted from Stephens’ profile; a PDF of the original profile is here).
Stephens’ CV lists a stint in 2012 as owner of an email marketing firm variously called Digital Dollars and IBT Inc, moneymaking schemes which Stephens describes as a “beginner to intermediate level guide to successful list marketing in today’s email environment. It incorporates the use of both white hat and some sketchy techniques you would find on black hat forums, but has avoided anything illegal or unethical…which you would also find on black hat forums.”
More recent entries in Andrew’s LinkedIn profile show that he now sees his current job as a “social engineer.” From his page:

“I am a what you may call a “Social Engineer” and have done work for several information security teams. My most recent operation was with a research team doing propaganda analysis for a media firm. I have a unique ability to access data that is typically inaccessible through social engineering and use this ability to gather data for research purposes. I have a knack for data mining and analysis, but was not formally trained so am able to think outside the box and accomplish goals traditional infosec students could not. I am proficient at strategic planning and vulnerability analysis and am often busy dissecting malware and tracking the criminals behind such software. There’s no real title for what I do, but I do it well I am told.”

Turns out, Andrew J. Stephens used to have his own Web site — andrewstephens.org. Here, the indispensable archive.org helps out again with a cache of his site from back when it launched in 2011 (oddly enough, the same year that Stophaus claims to have been born). On his page, Mr. Stephens lists himself as an “internet entrepreneur” and his business as “IBT.” Under his “Featured Work” heading, he lists “The Stophaus Project,” “Blackhat Learning Center,” and a link to an spamming software tool called “Quick Send v.1.0.”
Stephens did not return requests for comment sent to his various contact addresses, although a combative individual who uses the Twitter handle @Stophaus and has been promoting the group’s campaign refused to answer direct questions about whether he was in fact Andrew J. Stephens.

Helpfully, the cached version of Andrewstephens.org lists a contact email address at the top of the page: stephensboy@gmail.com (“Stephensboy” is the short/informal name of the Andrew J. Stephens LinkedIn profile). A historic domain registration record lookup purchased from Domaintools.com shows that same email address was used to register more than two dozen domains, including stophaus.org and stopthehaus.org. Other domains and businesses registered by that email include (hyperlinked domains below link to archive.org versions of the site):
-“blackhatwebhost.com“;
-“bphostingservers.com” (“BP” is a common abbreviation for “bulletproof hosting” services sold to -spammers and malware purveyors);
-“conveyemail.com”;
-“datapacketz.com” (another spam software product produced and marketed by Stephens);
-“emailbulksend.com”;
-“emailbulk.info”;
-“escrubber.info” (tools to scrub spam email lists of dummy or decoy addresses used by anti-spam companies);
-“esender.biz”;
-“ensender.us”;
-“quicksendemail.com“;
-“transmitemail.com”.
The physical address on many of the original registration records for the site names listed above show an address for one Michelle Kellison. The incorporation records for the Church of Common Good filed with the Florida Secretary of State list a Michelle Kellison as the registered agent for that organization.

Putting spammers and other bottom feeders in jail for DDoS attacks may be cathartic, but it certainly doesn’t solve the underlying problem: That the raw materials needed to launch attacks the size of the ones that hit SpamHaus and CloudFlare last year are plentiful and freely available online. As I noted in the penultimate chapter of my new book — Spam Nation (now a New York Times bestseller, thank you dear readers!), the bad news is that little has changed since these ultra-powerful attacks first surfaced more than a decade ago.
Rodney Joffe, senior vice president and senior technologist at Neustar –a security company that also helps clients weather huge online attacks — estimates that there are approximately 25 million misconfigured or antiquated home and business routers that can be abused in these digital sieges. From the book:

Most of these are home routers supplied by ISPs or misconfigured business routers, but a great many of the devices are at ISPs in developing countries or at Internet providers that see no economic upside to spending money for the greater good of the Internet.
“In almost all cases, it’s an option that’s configurable by the ISP, but you have to get the ISP to do it,” Joffe said. “Many of these ISPs are on very thin margins and have no interest in going through the process of protecting their end users— or the rest of the Internet’s users, for that matter.”
And therein lies the problem. Not long ago, if a spammer or hacker wanted to launch a massive Internet attack, he had to assemble a huge botnet that included legions of hacked PCs. These days, such an attacker need not build such a huge bot army. Armed with just a few hundred bot- infected PCs, Joffe said, attackers today can take down nearly any target on the Internet, thanks to the millions of misconfigured Internet routers that are ready to be conscripted into the attack at a moment’s notice.
“If the bad guys launch an attack, they might start off by abusing 20,000 of these misconfigured servers, and if the target is still up and online, they’ll increase it to 50,000,” Joffe said. “In most cases, they only need to go to 100,000 to take the bigger sites offline, but there are 25 million of these available.”

If you run a network of any appreciable size, have a look for your Internet addresses in the Open Resolver Project, which includes a searchable index of some 32 million poorly configured or outdated device addresses that can be abused to launch these very damaging large-scale attacks.

From the Facebook pages come the thoughts of Chairman Stephens on :-
<http://wearehomogeneous.org/2014/07/03/the-history-of-stophaus/>

=======================================

The STOPhaus Movement gained notoriety during the, then largest DDoS attack in recorded history, against anti-spam outfit Spamhaus. The 300gps attack inundated Spamhaus’ removal servers for 5 days before they recruited an American firm by the name of Cloudflare to mitigate the attack. After another 3 days of unsuccessful attempts to mitigate the attack, Cloudflare put out a press release that startled the world entitled, “The DDoS that Almost Broke The Internet”. This press release was picked up by Nicole Perlroth of the New York Times and reprinted in almost every tech column across the globe. The actors behind the attack were mysteriously known as a collective called STOPhaus. What was unknown is what STOPhaus is and what led up to the attack that was so abusively misreported.

In 2009 I operated a small IT and Web Design firm in Cincinnati, OH called IBT, Inc. or Integrated Business Technologies. During it’s startup phase I hired a systems administrator from Craigslist named Donald D.. This admin was more than adequate to operate our network, but came from a business that used “spam” as a marketing tool. He was the SysAdmin for a job-board and his former employer wanted him to send out email to the users that submitted resumes to the job board. I didn’t see an issue with that, but I was also not an expert in spam, other than that I knew I didn’t like it. I sure didn’t think we were spamming and we didn’t have complainers saying we were either, until Spamhaus complained very publicly that is.

We became close acquaintances until one day it seems that I found myself on a list ran by an international private organization named Spamhaus, that stated I was a “spam supporter” because Don setup this mailing system using one of the company’s ns records. The domain registration was not private because I, as the company rep, had no idea that we were doing something that was frowned upon and had not received “digital frowns” aka “complaints”. In a layman’s eyes, it appeared that we were marketing to opt-in recipients collected through authentic means and in 2009 I was still getting my feet wet in email marketing, so the fine lines between spam and commercial email had not been established.

The accusations in this ROKSO file were fictitious, egregious, libelous, and provoking and I was pretty easily provoked at the time. So, I went on to a USENET group called N.A.N.A.E. to find the CEO of this abusive DNSBL (blacklist) operator, Stephen John Linford, as he founded his efforts on this group and his support system is active there. I was quickly attacked and called vicious names as were my family and friends and I didn’t take kindly to such activities, so I responded with a mass media campaign against this type of behavior.

During this media campaign Spamhaus used their support system to knock down blogs hosted on WordPress, Blogger, and Webs. They had Gmail accounts removed, over 100 virtual servers were terminated, a dozen or more dedicated servers were terminated with no warning or explanation other than, “because you are on the Spamhaus list”, and several hundred domains were rendered useless by underhanded tactics of getting a registrar to suspend a domain name… waiting on it to be transferred to a new registrar (by coercion)…and then having the new registrar do the same so the ICANN waiting period would prevent material from being hosted on the domain. This is only one of many attacks Spamhaus initiated against our media sites, which were merely hosted to combat the libel Spamhaus was publishing.

This went on for a number of years before we finally started The STOPhaus Movement in Nov. of 2011, which was an effort to make the abusers see their abuse via mimicking them. Spamhaus did not like this much and started attacking the hosts for STOPhaus materials until we finally located Sven Olaf Kamphuis of Cyberbunker o n the Spamhaus ROKSO list. Yes, Spamhaus was our referral to Cyberbunker. Sven told us, “If it is not illegal, we will host it”. We were ecstatic to find someone that believed in free media, but the ecstasy would be short-lived, as Spamhaus attacked Cyberbunker’s upstream continuously, trying to force them to shut down the STOPhaus content, and they refused…but Steve Linford and his band of extortionists were not going to stop harassing our ISPs until they were able to stop the media campaign against them. That is, until their actions made headline news across the globe and they were put under a microscope and didn’t have a lot of choice other than to back off.

In March of 2013 a group was formed with the intent to shut down Spamhaus. This group had no name, only met on IRC, Jabber, and Skype. The group included ISPs and domain registrars from 5 continents and over a dozen countries…all with one goal…stop DNSBL Censorship. One day an attack was begun against Spamhaus’ by a member of the group and the group supported the attacker in his efforts to “make a statement”. This was not an anonymous attack by criminals with motives of financial gain, it was a protest by innocent civilians who were being attacked in the shadows by a private censorship component, complete with propaganda, and demands.

When it became international news we knew we had to take credit for it or our goals would never be released and the attack would be in vain, so we had to find a spokesman and a name for the group. Sven had already done such things for Cyberbunker, so he was perfect and volunteered to be the public relations coordinator and the name “STOPhaus” was already being used to combat such things. So we took the name TSM or The STOPhaus Movement and Sven contacted the media for interviews. This put the heat on Sven and we knew that he would eventually be persecuted for being the messenger, but he’s a team player and was willing to be self-sacrificial for the good of the internet community as a whole…like he’s always done.

Little did we know that the media would then make it about a scuffle between Cyberbunker and Spamhaus. That was actually a great unexpected twist to minimize the movement, but ultimately a failure because a movement can’t be silenced. The actors behind the Spamhaus attack were making a global point, that DNSBLs who use their influence to censor media or to profit are not doing a public service, but rather working on someone’s agenda and censoring media in the process. In Spamhaus’ case, the agenda belongs to large media Corps looking to control opinion, such as Google and Email Service Providers (see MAAWG). Other DNSBLs may have other agendas, but the fact that private DNSBLs have enough influence to cause the censorship of media and have the agenda of manipulating public opinion is quite enough to get our attention.

The STOPhaus Movement has several accounts, including a twitter account, several FB groups, and their own IRC channel but no individual administers any of them. The groups have dynamic administration teams and even the domains such as stophaus.com and stopspamhaus.com are controlled by several entities in multiple countries. STOPhaus is merely a voice for those that choose to note security flaws in the internet that affect a human’s ability to publish opinion. If those flaws are tied into spam-fighting then they need to be fixed so that spam can be fought without private blacklists and ISPs working cooperatively or by coercion to eliminate opinions they find unsettling.

The STOPhaus attack has proven that Spamhaus is using AMERICAN PUBLIC SERVANTS to mitigate attacks vicariously through Cloudflare, that Cloudflare is using American Law Enforcement to mitigate DDoS attacks that they are being paid to mitigate themselves, and that DNSBLs have far too much influence on internet media to remain unregulated by democratically elected global authorities. The STOPhaus attack readdressed a major flaw in the entire internet protocol, made the internet community aware of DNSBL coercion, and brought attention to DoS attacks, conducted by Spamhaus in the shadows for a decade. As long as private business are allowed to use capitalism to control media, the internet will always be a propaganda machine instead of an information superhighway. Sign The Petition to STOP SPAMHAUS!

So here we have Andrew Stephens admitting that he was part of The Stophaus Movement that was responsible for a DDOS on Spamhaus.

Andrew, in his usual "charming" manner, decides to impersonate Ms. Ickes while posting from his stephensboy@gmail account. He's trying to get Richard Morton Scoville, the serial libeler, to fight his battles for him. What a coward!
