One of the main ways which the Jester uses to attack their target is by carrying out a DOS attack with a tool called XerXes.
The Jester claims to have created this tool in for this specific use.
Yesterday (May 14th) the twitter and wordpress account associated with the Jester have been removed since they mention whenever they take a website down by tweeting/posting 'TANGO DOWN' whenever a site gets DOS'ed.
Other claims about XerXes involve the fact that it does not require a botnet in order to successfully take down a site, it hides the user by bouncing the signal around different nodes and it alters its attack depending on what defenses it encounters.
Another tool which the Jester uses is called 'Saladin' which he used to supposedly take down Jihadist websites.
The Jester's known targets are:
- Enemies of america - Taliban
- Wikileaks
- Lulzsec
