It has been hilarious watching Law Enforcement and the Mainstream Media trying to get a handle on Anonymous. After watching both demonstrate that The Peter Principle is alive and well, most especially Law Enforcement, which seems dedicated to out Pythoning Monty Python.
As a public-spirited citizen, I’ve decided to help them out. There’s a set of fairly simple indicators to help decide if the target of Law Enforcement might be a member of Anonymous. Use of this list can help Law Enforcement Personal prioritize their resources in the fight against Anonymous.
While the list is extensive, it is by no means complete. It does however offer a means to make an immediate decision.
- Person has carried out a DDOS attack
- Person has a copy of the Low Orbit Ion Cannon Software
- Person has ever spent time in Anonymous IRC
- Person has ever spent time editing Encyclopedia Dramatica
- Person has ever spent time in /b on 4Chan
- Person has more than one computer
- Person owns a smart phone and/or tablet computer

- Person has been involved in a real life protest(s)
- Person has an unusual interest in Law Enforcement

- Person is artistic (i.e. writer, singer/songwriter) and their publishers

As I’ve said, the above list is hardly complete, but it should help Law Enforcement in their fight against Anonymous.
