Here is the message that Anonymous sent to me the 4/2/2011

Dear Mr Blanchard,

Your analysis on the Anonymous 'movement' and their strategies as published in La Libre Belgique has come to our attention. Therefore, we want to help you in doing your homework so you will be able to set the record straight. We understand the perspective that Mr Blanchard has taken, but seen from another perspective, we are able to reject the term "risque" that is used in the interview. If Anonymous is only percieved as a group that attack random targets, like most groups of cyber-criminals or hackers do, then you seem to forget the social and communicational aspect of Anonymous.

Please inform yourself: Youtube: What is Anonymous ? Anonnews: Open Letter from ANONYMOUS - 17/12/2010 Anonops: Why anonymity is important for ANONYMOUS?

So please, instead of frightening the public opinion with negative assumptions based on poor research, try to shine a light on the nessecity for as much people to get involved. Instead of warning for infiltration, it is your personal responsibility to make sure that the idea of 'infiltrants taking over Anonymous and use it in a bad way' or 'Anonymous taking down the entire internet of a country and collapsing its economy' - which by the way YOU have introduced into the world now - can never happen.

Furthermore, the idea of Anonymous taking down the internet in an entire country is just ridiculous: as Anonymous is fighting for freedom of speech, information and communication, taking down the inetrnet would be the most blatantly stupid thing that could ever be done under the banner of Anonymous. Therefore other anons would simply not tolerate such actions.

Please take up your personal responsibility

Anonymous is the people The people is Anonymous Be Anonymous!


Here is my answer

Dear Anonymous writer,

I want to tell you clearly that I don't want to give or promote critical thinks against your motivations.

On this topic, I have no personal agreement or not agreement on what your group is doing.

I also don't do it for any commercial topics or marketing.

It is just my technical and feelings that i have personnaly.

1. You wrote, Anonymous : "../.. we are able to reject the term "risque" that is used in the interview.

Marc Blanchard : It is technically speaking. LOIC & similar tools that you ask to the poor internet users doesn't or cannot imagine the collateral damages that such of tools can do is very dangerous for the global internet.

You ask to DDOS temporary some websites that are on the global national internet 'tubes' or connxions of the country.

As I said, your users are simple users that some of them don't know technically what is the tool is doing. They imagine that from their computer to the website that they attack that is a single cable that interconnect them to the site.

NO!!! Internet IS NOT a simple cable that connects on computer to another one. When you want to DDOS a website, the attack will go thru several routers, can go thru several countries (that their national internet connexion is not necessary the global connexion of China or US). So, attacks may disturb the global internet.

Of course, you want to show to the real life that you have another picture of cyber-delinquants, but the technical result is the same. For me, your users are cyber-delinquants.

2. You wrote: Anonymous: " .../... Anonymous taking down the entire internet of a country and collapsing its economy - which by the way YOU have introduced into the world now - can never happen."

Marc Blanchard : I think that you think wrong when you write this. Let me explain my thoughts: a. You are anonymous on the internet b. Some bad people can learn what are your common processes c. Ask to your users to attack this site or this site or countries, etc, that are nothing to see with your ways. The social engineering is really easy to do in this case. d. These persons (bad people) knows how to promote talks, explains (you know on what i say for eg : Scientology practices to recruit people). e. Your users will be be anymore under your control.

This is on this way, that i am worry.

Let me a comment there, they are private and moderated.

3. Update of the day: Anonymous claimed that they are not cyber delinquants !!! FALSE

It is not from me: it is in the press every where at this link here.

Enter in computers infrastructures and steal more than 40000 emails of private companies...I don't know how you cannot seen as be cyber-delinquants and hackers... but on the public opinion, you are hackers that can steal datas !
