But some of the details posted by cubespherical were a bit off. But that evening, a new Twitter account, th3j35tr, popped up claiming to be The Jester. You must login or create an account to comment. Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny The Jester I'm sensing a pattern here. The comments aimed at reapersec were directed toward an article discrediting Jester's claims regarding his "Saladin" tool.
One of their researchers proved that many sites he claimed to have hit with it were expired domains, old redirects, and hacks attributed to other groups. While Jester promised an explanation in 24 hours, "Smedley" suddenly turned on him, deleted numerous pro-jester tweets and comments, etc. The attempted "dox" included an obviously fake image, and a ridiculously flattering CV, and gave no clue how a random guy from a year-old bar fight not only knew Jester was this guy, but also knew who all the players have been in these dramas over the last year.
And th3j35t3r reacts like there's a gun to his head, deletes everything without explanation from himself or his friends? Not only this, but he Assumes people want Jester's ID enough to fund him to the tune of K, but never asks Jester for money.
So now Jester can plausibly exit without explaining the fraud, but Smedley never has to actually deliver any info For example, in at least one case it was discovered that a long list of Jihadist websites the Jester claimed to take down — were actually old websites whose domain registration had already expired.
In the past, he used web address shortener services and cross-site scripting to create the illusion that he had altered articles on the websites of the Malta Independent Online and the Tripoli Post. For some of his alleged offensive actions, for instance, there was also a need for a relatively strong understanding of foreign languages, particularly Arabic. If the Jester was, as he claims, stationed in the Middle East for long periods — he may have picked the local language… but unless his work required that he learn Arabic, this is highly unlikely.
So, is The Jester a cyber genius and a polyglot — or maybe he was helped, at least for a while, by someone with relevant knowledge? A kind of cyber MacGyver. The epitome of this play between real hacks and invented stories. What exactly happened there?
Obviously, The Jester was not the first hacker to understand the potential risk from QR codes. QR codes — the two dimensional black-and-white bar codes that we can often find on ads, packages, and print publications — are there in order to conveniently take you, with your smartphone or any other scanning device, to a website.
It usually happens for promotional purposes, helping you get coupons or special offers. A single QR code can store more than characters. A tunnel. However, since we, as human beings, are not able to decipher the inscription on the door of this tunnel, we are at the mercy of whoever put it there.
Theoretically, it can take us anywhere. Attackers can hide malicious URLs in any innocent looking QR code, so when a user scans it, their mobile device could practically be hijacked. The Jester claimed this was exactly what he did, on March 5th, But in case you did belong to a small group of people, or organizations, that The Jester was aiming at, then — bad luck.
Following the alleged attack, The Jester announced that the QR code he used as his Twitter icon had been scanned 1, times, while mobile phones were compromised.
But only a fraction of those devices meant anything to him. That is, if we take his word for it. Anonymous and the Jester first clashed in , after the Jester claimed he took down the WikiLeaks website. How serious was the damage done in the QR code attack? Who knows. Perhaps very serious, perhaps — just a few embarrassed Twitter users. The security vulnerability he claims to have exploited [CVE] has been in the public domain since autumn and was fixed in most browsers shortly thereafter.
That does not sit well with his claimed success rate of 40 percent of visitors. Similarly, he claims that a single exploit was able to bypass the security mechanisms present in multiple versions of iOS and Android. A more likely explanation is that The Jester is playing mind games with his enemies. And maybe, this kind of confusion was exactly what The Jester, whoever he is, was aiming for.
Nowadays, on his Twitter account, The Jester seems more involved in American politics and in promoting some virtual reality projects, than in patriotic hacking. Which actually makes him much more of a real person than anything he has ever done before.
Anthony Freed asked him, in one of his interviews, how long will he go on. Yet, No identity was uncovered. No one was arrested with their incriminating laptop. No one was sentenced to jail, or even gave an interview, showing their real face. In a way it was all smoke and mirrors, as they say.
