Ex-marine intelligence Th3J35t3r (The Jester) posts IRC logs allegedly tying together “Sabu” and LulzSec tweets, and other damming information; claims to be ”hactivist for good.”
There seems to be a war brewing in the hacker world as LulzSec, a splinter offshoot from fellow hacktivist group Anonymous, comes under fire from other hackers upset by the group’s tone and tactics.
One hacker, using the alias Th3J35t3r (The Jester), is apparent waging a one man war against LulzSec. Claiming to be a “hactivist for good,” he’s purportedly an “ex-marine intelligence” officer (?) who’s turned his sights from jihadist sites to LulzSec over its recent campaign against US govt targets.
“Obstructing the lines of communication for terrorists, sympathizers, fixers, facilitators, oppressive regimes and other general bad guys,” is how he describes himself.
The Jester posted some damning IRC chat logs that gives outsiders a glimpse of what’s been going behind the scenes of a group making the daily headlines and identifies it’s leader as someone named “Sabu.”
From his pastebin post:

The Jester also managed to obtain chat logs of an odd back and forth exchange among LulzSec members that shows their infatuation with the media.
For even more of what The Jester has found, The Guardian has the full text up on its site.
Looks as though the hunter has now become the prey. It’s one thing to target the RIAA, MPAA or even other foreign govt websites, but targeting US govt sites for no good reason is a surefire way to raise the ire of folks like ex-US military hackers.
Ouch.
Stay tuned.

I've been interested in P2P since the early, high-flying days of Napster and KaZaA. I believe that analog copyright laws are ill-suited to the digital age, and that art and culture shouldn't be subject to the whims of international entertainment industry conglomerates. Twitter | Google Plus
Nakomis is not Jester. Nakomis was a member or affiliate of lulzsec that was masquerading as Jester for social engineering purposes. If you read the Pastebin carefully you would see that. The person purported to be Nakomis (Casey Gardiner) previously resided in Carlsbad, CA and was thought to have been stationed at Camp Pendleton. As a side note, he has competed in professional tennis tournaments.
