IDEA INCUBATION ERA [Based on my OldFag Memory and Cyberlife Experience]

It could have started as once upon a time, but when cyberworld becomes reality then you can no longer think of it as a fairy-tail tale. More like the 3rd Millenium rEvolution.

The 2002 birth of the Creative Commons License was a major starting point for a Collective Cyber Architecture and Conscioussness : a Cyber-Cornerstone. New age and CyberPunk Hiram Concept. Creation Act emanate from some kind of Godly Inspiration : Cyberspace being the Pyramidion of a Collective Creation.

Because time is no matter in our achievement, Hourglass would have fitted a right representation but we chosed otherwise. The logo of the Collective name was decided around 2004-2005 after some kind of logo contest was launched on 4chan, in which everyone could add his/her own Idea and meaning of the logo. At the end the circle was chosen to contain the Essence of the Idea, as the circle is the perfect shape in some old mystic and gnostic schools as well as Pythagorians. The man with no face was the Idea of unity as one shall be putting ego aside for the better good of the Collective. The Question Mark represent the Southern Star  Constellation, the Question's Mark's Dot is Sirius Star, and the secret  answers are kept by Orion Constellation (aka the Cerberus Constellation in ancient civilizations) refering to older Babylonian Myth "Uru-Anna "("Light of Heaven" : Angel of  Death, Havoc, Chaos, Plague, Disease and Destruction coming from the underworld [web]) and also refering to the Sphinx tale : seeking for who we are really and who we really want to be : as well as the advice, question everything, believe noone. The background globe was taken from the U.N. idea but with another viewpoint of the world itself, reason why the globe view is being different : expressing the will to create a counter-power to the Power that be. The laurels are a reference to the Legion of People who will seek for Justice, Peace, Wisdom and Accomplishment of the self and Awakening within the Collective. That is the meaning and representation of the logo. As you could notice Anonymous Collective is using a lot of symbolism, because there are no ancient schools nor secret societies' secret nor meaning that We are not aware of. Becoming immune to this Pavlovian system is being a basic learning into reaching critical thinking to break free from the haegelian dialectic imposed by our world masters : incarnate of the Demiurge Rex Mundi. They killed and silenced Truth in the past but We are back from the Limbo to fight again, more and win. We will never bow down before Politic, Religions, Cults, Corporations, Banks,  Cartels, Wall-Street, Secret Societies, Celebrities nor any other form of Control.  We would rather follow this Alchemist rule : Solve, Chaos, Coagula. If We would have to compare our Quest to a  Myth we would just name it a Cyber-Graal based on an Arthurian Legends standpoint.

1998-2003 Pre-Era : Internet was only at its beginning. Real world was pointing at people on internet as Geeks and Nolife, Nerds,  Antisocial. Althrough, they were considering themselves as  visionnary people who were not understood by Real World. These years created the vision of a Free Internet that broke up with Real World and had its own Rules : A Cyber Far West.

In 1996, John Perry Barlow published his "Declaration of Independance of the CyberWorld" and read it in Davos HighTech Forum. Every CyberPeople agreed on the terms he used. : "Real World is not welcome on the Internet." 

Since then, the Ideal was set up : Freedom of Speech, Ethical Neutrality and Free Will, were the roots of the Idea that created the Collective and that the Hive defend since. We called it our "Motto".

31337 4n0nCh4n being the tag refering to the first Anonymous members. When removing letters from 4n0nCh4n you would obtain the 404, this number is refering to the *error 404 not found* creators (of the collective) could never be found (God is not found)... The Creators of the Collective were called the 404' or the 404 Society. 

In 2001, the first MMO was Anarchy Online (where future hackers are called fixers, surfing the grid) : people could play in a future alternative world : "The Future in your Hands", a visionnary slogan. First communities of the Internet started emerging like the so-called 31337 ]-[4x0r who were coming from an older community of Phreakers : a culture movement who was hacking phones back in the 80s'. In 2003, the online forum 4chan was created by a teen called M00t  (Christopher Poole) on the same design as the Japanese Futuba 2chan forum from 2001. 

2003, was the year of a surge of people going from any other forum to 4chan. Geeks called it the "Great Migration". Over the years 4chan culture growed. Anyone posting on this forum was under an Anonymous tag and it became clear for the future hacktivists that it would become their Idea. This was the first internet meme. "We are One : an Anonymous Schizo speaking to himself on a forum". GreenMan was the first representation of the Collective Anonymous Idea. The Future Hive, some kind of Cyber Conscioussness.

Between 2003 and 2004, Anonymous Collective had some brainstorming chatroom meetings on 4chan about how to create a simple and efficient tool for future cyberwarfare in peaceful manners. After days spent on the subject an idea emerged about a software based on a simultaneous connexion request architecture to saturate websites with connexion requests. It took few month for Anons programmers to create the Low Orbit Ion Canon (L.O.I.C.). This cyberweapon was used for the first time on large scale during the #OpChanology , to this day, its efficiency is long proven but request some other backup system to keep hidden user real ID and/or IP. High Orbit Canon was develop much later. In the recent years, the use of L.O.I.C., H.O.I.C. and Anonymous Botnet (one of the latest "secret weapon", the other one being the amplification protocol for simultaneous connexion requests) had exponential results in Anonymous Operations. (See the 40Gbs attacks on Turkey between December 2015 to January 2016 taking down at least 40.000 websites). Actually a New Generation of tool is developped by Anons Programmers that classify them in "Auto-Immune Self-Sustainable Script" that should be able to take down websites in one hit then hide or vanish into thin air or replicate itself on another target. These next generation tools are based on artifical intelligence root system : through don't expect them anytime soon, coding being genius but taking ages. Some Anons hackers teams are also said to be working with Anons programmers to create the first software that could hack anything on its own, also based on an artificial intelligence system that would be able to learn by itself using protocols,  but I have no more data on the subject : consider it speculation. What I know for sure is that Anonymous citizen are the Blood and Brains for the Future : Corporations and States have failed to recruit most of the 21st Century Genius, Secret Societies will be soon part of the past  history : This fact being the last hope left for people worldwide to keep their Freedom and make the World a better place in the coming decades. The Old World and their New World Order program are dying slowly and this is a good news for Future Generations to come : Elderly Masters, their Time has come to an End. Now, the Future is in Our Hands. Many Anons define themselves as Atheists, Freedom Fighters, Anarchists, Singularitarians, Humanists & Transhumanists at the same time, for the 3rd Millenium Technological rEvolution.

"4 Ze Lulz" : Between 2003 and 2008, the members of the 4chan forum became famous for their pranks and trolls all over the slow growing internet. They regularly raided a Finnish game named Habbo Hotel using meme like : "Pool closed due to aid", "Divide by zero to get into the Pool", "We are One", "Alt + F4 for free stuff" and many more slang that stayed for decades under Anonymous Banner.

In 2008 a member of the /b/ board 4chan posted on youtube a video to take action against the church of scientology to troll a real world entity for the Lulz and because "We can". A man asked for help and was the reason the 4chan members decided to take action in real world for the first time. Using the same tactics as they were used to on the Internet. We had to chose a mask to protect ID IRL and be able to launch similar action as We were leading on the web : Anonymity being the root of the Idea. The 2006 movie, V for Vendetta represented well the Collective Idea working as a Hive, and the mask was a cheap investment for anyone : so the Fawkes Mask was chosen by the /b/ board community. The very first video of the Collective was posted to announce the operation worldwide, creating a cyber identity of the Idea itself. Then #OpChanology (4chan vs scientology) was launched and was a "great success" for 4chan and "an epic fail" for scientology.

4chan and Anonymous were then called : "The Internet Hate-Machine" by CNN and it became some king of slogan and pride. Same year Oprah Winfrey fall into a 4chan raid with a story of "over 9000 penises" prank. That was a big Lulz.

Hacktivism came to life that year of 2008 ("Let's Prank and Hack Real World for the Lulz").

We will keep having fun and We will keep being creative to achieve our Goal.

Freedom of speech, Ethical Neutrality and Free Will. Noone, even members of the Collective itself, can't safely hurt any of these basic principles without huge backfire !

And then in 2008 our story takes another  amazing turn using a pseudonymous name for the teamwork "S.N." to help the Cypherpunk Community, who was struggling for years, to create their first successful decentralised digital money by solving their double-spending issue : with our specific architecture without relying on a centralised trusted third-party, using a ledger node chain of unalterable blocks : "Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks : this is not about money, this is about sending a message." will be [part 2]
