The Jester has revealed one member of lulzsec on his blog, the members username is anonkomis (Casey Gardiner) and is seen in the picture wearing a military style uniform.
The jester also says he has information on the others and will reveal them in time, not looking good for lulzsec, lulz.

Th3j35t3r reveals one member of Lulzsec.
While the nature of the genesis of all of this is generally unsettling, the idea of this "war" between hackers, and our ability to watch it all unfold, is pretty fucking awesome to behold. It feels like something out of a movie.
If he really is ratting them out. Maybe hs a real "Hacker" whos pissed off that these people are giving hackers a bad name and being public fuck heads.So who is this "Jester" character, anyway? A hacker with a heart of gold? Or just finding lulz in another manner?

@Beforet: A hacker who is self proclaimed ex military who spends most of his hacking talents on disrupting Islamic terrorist web communication. He also took down Wikileaks when they released American military documents. He seemingly turned to LulzSec after they attacked the CIA. Dude has been relentless ever since. Reading his blog is actually really fascinating.
He sounds less like an independent "hacker" and more like an arm of the government.
I've been 'suspicious' over this whole hacker episodes anyway. Something doesn't sit right with me. Oh well.
from what i hear jester is a real "hacktavist" he hacks and does DoS attacks on terrorist propaganda websites. so yea id say hes pissed at all these little kids that would like nothing more than ruin his good name and others like him.He also attacks Wikileaks and other 4Chan members. So is he really any better? He's just a hacker who has his own agenda going after other hackers who have their own agendas.

@FourWude: um yes........its stupid to think that him going after the "bad" people is the same as some kids fucking up all these game companies. this whole lulzsec thing started because anonymous was getting all the headlines for the sony attacks and lulzsec wanted to make a name for themselves so the started to attack anyone that would grab a headline. yes he has an agenda,its to stop bad people...... read the wiki,he targets people that attack america. is that bad? you good sir have no clue.
So now theJester or however you spell his name is the good guy? As much as I hate 4Chan members, they're not really people "attacking" America are they? Neither is Wikileaks. And I loathe Westboro Baptist Church, but hacking them is just a dickish move which ironically gives them even more exposure, which is the worst thing you can do to those guys.
Sorry but painting this guy as some parable of "white knight holiness" isn't cutting it. If he catches some lulzsec members good on him, but he's doing it as much for himself as some protection of the homeland.
Now there's good hackers fighting the bad ones? It's official. This going to be a movie in the next 5-10 years.
I'm waiting to see what comes out of this, taking down one member isn't going to do much in the long run.
@FourWude: On his blog he lays out how 4chan is essentially just the public face of Anonymous, and he only briefly took down Wikileaks when they released US military documents. And attacking the WBC may have given them a bit of exposure, but I'm sure that's nothing compared to the damage that was done from their website being kept down for weeks at a time (and I'm sure he only attacked them because of their presence at military funerals).
By and large hacking these sites, barely disrupts their lines of communication. It barely hurts them. 4Chan and Anon are still around and still ongoing. Wikileaks released their documents and are still around. And "unfortunately" Westboro Baptist Church is still around. So his "attacks" didn't really do anything.
Vigilantism by and large doesn't work.
@bushpusherr said:Well he is only one guy, he is at least doing something. No one else seems to even want to try and dent Lulzsec but this guy, so yeah I would consider him sort of a white-knight, he isn't targeting anyone who doesn't deserve it.@FourWude: On his blog he lays out how 4chan is essentially just the public face of Anonymous, and he only briefly took down Wikileaks when they released US military documents.

And attacking sites is one thing, sure, but in this case it seems he is simply after uncovering the members behind these attacks. That, surely, could produce fruit.
I remember saying in an earlier post that other hackers would come because these hackers have overstepped their limitations. LET THE WAR GAMES COMMENCE!
I believe they are members of Anonymous who formed Lulzsec as a rebel type hacker group.Excuse my ignorance, but is Anonymous any way affiliated with LulzSec?
According to th3j35t3r:Excuse my ignorance, but is Anonymous any way affiliated with LulzSec?
"LulzSec wanted to disenfranchise themselves away from ‘Anonymous/AnonOps’ as much as possible so they could:
A) Claim credit for themselves
B) Higher Risk Targets
C) Not involve the group as a whole
D) Financial Gain

There's a weird intercepted transcript on that jester dude's site suggesting that they were a splinter group taking higher risk targets or whatever, but honestly who knows if any of that shit is true, if it is... this is playing out like a movie. Either way it makes for a fun read.

th3j35t3r is like the Batman of the internet.
Given he's usually attacking jihadist websites, terrorist communications and wikileaks, he seems more like the Captain America of the internet.
This jester guy is a real badass. I just read one of his blog posts where there is basically a guy acting like him on twitter. He ignores it for a good month until he starts going to far. The jester then basically makes a fake persona, schedules an interview, manages to get all of this guys personal info, and then puts out that blog. The real hook is he didn't put out any of the guys personal info. Instead he puts out 4 random facts about the guy, a blurred picture, and his favorite quote and basically says to quit the shit, you lost. A few days later the imposter basically freaks out and starts bluffing and eventually tweets himself from the imposter jesters twitter and releases his own public info to the public, basically screwing himself. Hilarious.
This shit really could be a movie.

Because he's the hero the internet deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

4chan was not created for hackers.. I'm sorry, but I guess I'm going to be the one to ask: What the fuck is with all the new retarded posters?
Considering editting is not working I shall simply double post. If any of you actually READ his article you would understand he hacked 4chan because they were trying to unveil his identity (and do so incorrectly.) Which lead to him hacking the site as a warning and a means for them to stop trying.

4chan was started in 2003 in the bedroom of a then-15-year-old student from New York City who posts as "moot". He intended the site to be a place to discuss Japanese comics and anime, an American counterpart to the popular Japanese Futaba Channel ("2chan") imageboard.
