Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.
One of the best photos of 2024 so far:

Well done, gentleman. 🫡🇺🇸

We just got told the FBI is coming to our warehouse tomorrow to train us all about active shooters. There will be 5 agents showing up i hear. Its going to be hands on and interactive. I dont know why, but something in side me doesnt feel good about it. They are even calling people in that are on vacation. They want EVERYONE here. They never act like this at my company. I think im going to leave work early tomorrow with my emergency vacation hours. Screw this crap.
The FBI thread: Ive attached links where diagrams are provided throughout this 🧵.
First, a little background on my team. We started working together back in the days of P2P apps like Kazaa, BearShare, iMesh, etc. Back in those days, you could actually see who's IP address you were connecting too. And there was porn. Everywhere.

We individually started noticing that this included CP. So we posted on Exploit.in (a hacking forum we were all members of) and asking what we could do to help catch these people. This was how we formed our team. Slowly we began to learn how to hack people.

We started off running scripts that other people created to kick them offline. It was hit or miss. But eventually we started writing our own scripts. Then we started tracking them back to their homes by their IP addresses. But what could we do with this information?

We caught people from all over the country AND the world. We couldn't possible go after them all individually. So, we decided we would compile lists of these people, their IP addresses, times/dates of when they uploaded this content, and report it to the Feds.
While doing this, we noticed an onion link that was being shared in the zip files of CP. An onion link is basically a link to darkweb-site. When we first checked it out, it looked harmless and we overlooked it in our work. But one of the guys was convinced there was more there.
Turns out he was right. This site was basically a CP Amazon. You could go there and "order" CP, for a price. Not only that, some of it included torture in the descriptions. At this point, we knew we had to get the Feds involved. So we did.
We called the FBI and emailed them numerous anonymous tips. Over and over again, with no response. We wondered wtf was going on. We didn't want to expose our identities and go to a local office as we wanted to remain anonymous.
So we started doing the next best thing, and contacted local law enforcement close to where these people lived. This was also shaky at best. Cops want witnesses to crimes. To be a witness, means you cannot remain anonymous. So the struggle continued.
Then one of us was watching "to catch a Predator" and it dawned on us, the media! We could use them to be the "witness"! They could "break" the story with our information, confront them, and have them arrested! Perfect! All bases covered! That's how we started.
What does this have to do with the FBI? Well, after all the times we contacted them and got no response, we started wondering about "honey pots". We knew they existed and we wondered if the FBI was possibly running CP honey pots.
Years go by and we find a new place they are selling CP. We started researching this site and it's user base. Upon doing so, we found some rather fishy IP activity. Quantico Virginia. Wait, wtf?
I'm gonna tell you what we saw, and then I'm going to tell you the "official" version of the story. You can decide on your own, what you believe. First, you need to understand some things about TOR. TOR is the "darkweb". It's not the same as the clear web.
