Gabriella Coleman, a Harvard University anthropology professor, describes how she immersed herself in hacker culture and eventually became embedded in the shadowy and mercurial world of Anonymous, the hacktivist collective she chronicled in her 2015 book, "Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous." This is such a fascinating episode that explores the often misunderstood history of hacking and how many in this community went from outside agitators to mainstream security researchers.-------Why you should listen:* Get a better understanding of the history of Anonymous and the role it played in shaping online protests and whistleblowing.* Hear about some of the earliest hacking communities such as the free software hackers and efforts to archive their early writings and magazines.* Get an anthropological perspective on how hackers have evolved from the fringes of the tech world to among the most influential voices in cybersecurity.-------Key quotes: * "There's now a new narrative that there was a single founder of Anonymous, the trolls and the early hacktivists. And that's just wrong in terms of historical record."* "I'm not surprised that hackers were at the forefront of establishing the protocols for the security industry."* "The moment you cower, the moment you're not willing to speak up, that's the minute that I think ... the hacker spirit is dead and can't be effective in initiating change."-------Links:* https://www.synack.com/* https://gabriellacoleman.org/* https://datasociety.net/library/wearing-many-hats-the-rise-of-the-professional-security-hacker/

TRUTH-TELLERS: The Impact of Speaking Out. The 10th event of the Disruption Network Lab. Keynote: 50 Days of Lulz with Mustafa Al-Bassam (alias Tflow, former core member, LulzSec, UK). Moderated by Gabriella Coleman (Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy at McGill University, Quebec, CA). This keynote presentation wants to trace back the so-called "50 Days of Lulz" (“lulz” as a derivation of lol, laugh out loud), 50 days of high profile attacks by the hacker group named “LulzSec” in the spring of 2011. This story, which is about truth-telling activity beyond moral conformism and political correctness, as well as fighting for freedom and social rights, facing corporations, oppression and corruption, is told by one of its protagonists, Mustafa Al-Bassam alias Tflow, who was one of the six core members of LulzSec, and at the time only 16 years old. The activity of LulzSec is well documented in the book Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous (2014) by Gabriella Coleman (who will introduce this Keynote), as a unique example of a collective that was able to find vulnerabilities in high level computer systems, revealing hidden information, as well as straightforward attacks on private corporations (from HBGaryFederal to Sony Pictures), using the strategy of leaking for exposing wrongdoing and sensitive data. LulzSec is shrouded in some degree of deliberate mystery, combining the activity of whistleblowing with the one of opacity, deceit, and play, as the broader entity of Anonymous to whom LulzSec was affiliated. Here the fun of trolling and political activism are bound together, having a large impact on public opinion and media culture. Mustafa Al-Bassam, who also managed the LulzSecurity.com website, is currently a Computer Science PhD student at University College London, and back on the Internet after a nearly two year Internet ban imposed by police. www.disruptionlab.org/truth-tellers (http://www.disruptionlab.org/truth-tellers) Photo: Maria Silvano Produced by Voice Republic For more podcasts visit http://voicerepublic.com
Edward Snowden. Chelsea Manning. Julian Assange. While divisive figures such as these have dominated news cycles and been the subject of fierce debate throughout the last decade, whistleblowing is neither a new phenomenon nor one that is strictly American. Who are some key Canadian whistleblowers? How might the law protect those who disclose? And what is the role of hacking in whistleblowing and what are the effects? Yuan Stevens and Doron Lurie spoke with Prof. Gabriella Coleman to answer these questions and more. Music in this episode: "The Collector" and "Night Owl" by Broke for Free, "Candlepower", "Readers! Do You Read?", and "We Always Thought the Future Would Be Kind of Fun" by Chris Zabriskie, "hydroscope" by Gallery Six, "In the Streets" by Indian Wells, "Chantiers Navals 412" by LJ Kruzer, and "Lips" by Plurabelle.
Photo: Meanwhile… by Thales In the first podcast produced by Inter Gentes, we look at the phenomenon of hacktivism and its relationship to the legal norms surrounding computer use. We use the actions of Anonymous against Daesh in response to the November 2015 attacks in Paris as a springboard, inviting anthropologist Gabriella Coleman to discuss the history and nature of Anonymous, its relationship to legal frameworks, and what its future as a movement might look like. We then speak with Lex Gill, co-author of “Towards digital constitutionalism? Mapping attempts to craft an Internet Bill of Rights,” a working paper of the Berkman Klein Center, who illuminates for us some of the currents, issues, and potentials in the crafting of norms in relation to internet use. This podcast was written, researched, and produced by Annette Angell, Amanda Ghahremani, and Tobin Lippold, with music by Tobin Lippold.

At long last, I'm pleased to post Show # 237, May 20, my interview with return guest Prof. Gabriella Coleman of McGill University, author of Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous. Biella has written a remarkable anthropological study of Anonymous, the ubiquitous collection of technology activists who were born out of the "lulz" (i.e., pranksterism plus). Over many months, Biella got to know an assortment of individuals involved in Anonymous, and through that interaction paints a complex and surprising picture of their operations. In our discussion, we talked about both her research methods and the insights that she developed through her work. In an era of networked interactions that exist on the spectrum from public to secret, Biella's work is both groundbreaking and essential. I greatly enjoyed our broad discussion. {Hearsay Culture is a talk show on KZSU-FM, Stanford, 90.1 FM, hosted by Center for Internet & Society Resident Fellow David S. Levine.

Gabriella Coleman is back this week to discuss the astonishing and still-recent shift in the digital world towards real, widespread political engagement on issues like privacy and surveillance.
People (especially those in the news media) love to talk about Anonymous, often making bold, sweeping and generally inaccurate proclamations about the group's nature and goals. Gabriella Coleman, on the other hand, has spent years closely studying and engaging with Anonymous in the real world, and developing a nuanced understanding of the nebulous phenomenon. Her new book Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous provides insider details about Anonymous that you won't find anywhere else, and she joins us to discuss it on this week's episode.

There are few subjects more potentially divisive as the Free Culture Movement. Free Culture activists believe in a future in which people will be free to remix and distribute creative works like literature, movies, music, software, and images. These are the folks who can toss around phrases like ‘Free as in Speech versus Free as in Beer’ to illustrate distinctions in legal code. A world where anyone can feel free to edit a photo, remix a song or video, or modify a piece of software without the constraint of excessive laws or artificial limits – sounds great, right? But it raises more questions than you might think. Gabriella Coleman is an Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University who has given a lot of thought to the role of genre and piracy in how we might build a Free Culture that works. She sat down with our guest host Elizabeth Stark for a word or two on some of the toughest questions facing Free Culture.
