LulzSec Hacker Delivered DefCon Manifesto in 2004

I was reading more about Jeremy Hammond, the hacker caught up in the Stratfor hack and realized I saw his scrawny ass give his manifesto screen to the DefCon crowd to boos and hisses in 2004. Many security gurus laughed saying he had seen “Fight Club” way too many times.

His photo doesn’t show that this weasel is 5’6″ but when I saw him, he had the audacity to deliver a speech wearing a bandana around his face.

From FoxNews here:

A top hacker with LulzSec is a committed anarchist who mocked the 9/11 attacks, spoke of burning down the White House and ridiculed pacifist protesters for not using violence to achieve their means, FoxNews.com has learned.

Jeremy Hammond, whose online handles “Anarchaos” and “crediblethreat” and “tylerknowsthis” underscored his virulent anti-government beliefs, was arrested up Tuesday in Chicago as part of an international sweep netting top members of the hacker group LulzSec and its affiliates. The 27-year-old is a self-styled anarchist. He took credit for the massive attack on the global intelligence company Stratfor and even embraced being branded a “terrorist” in a speech at a 2004 hacker convention caught on video.

“One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist,” Hammond told the audience at the annual DefCon hackers conference in Las Vegas 2004. “So let them call us terrorists,” he added moments later. “I’ll still bomb their buildings.”

I remember being in the audience at that DefCon. I was with the DHS NCSD at the time, and when this guy spoke other hackers hissed him, and taunted him that he wasn’t in “Fight Club,” and I remember one FAA guy vow to put this twat on a watch list. I guess he stayed on that watch list according to the story. In and out of jail for years now, this anarchist and assured Occupy member is going back to the poke.
