The Anonymous 'collective'has risen from an amorphous group of individuals on the intemet to the current state of a potential threat to national security. Due to the nature of anonymous, they believe that they are a leaderless collective.
However, it has been shown that there is a defined leadership group. The goal of this report is to better understand that leaderships structure and its membersp sychological statesi n order to better assessw ho they really may be as well as define means to effectively track them down for arrest. By using the techniques and resources of the BSU at Quantico, we hope to enlighten the investigators to cues that could help in manipulating and apprehending the leadership of Anonymous. This will have a profound effect on the collective itself as the arrest of the core would demoralize the whole.
Due to the nature of Anonymous and the intemet, the leaders of the collective have attempted to cloak their identities within screen names and technological obfuscation methods. Since the intemet has many ways to hide a person's true identity, the Behavioral Sciences Unit was contactedt o assessth e individual's online personaeth rougho nline dialogs.

A thorough assessmenot f eachU NSUB's online activities, speechp atterns,a nd generalw ritings
was collectedb y the FBI. EachU NSUB was individually assessebdy members of the SBU and a
psychologicalp rofile created from these data sets.
Some of this data was also collected from sources such as CI's in the field. One such CI (Marotte) has been quite effective in engaging the
Anonymous leadership and thus gathering intelligence that was helpful to the SBU in gauging
their psychological makeup under differing circumstances.
UNSUB Sabu Approximate age: 29-35
Sex: Male Location: USA
Probable Nationality: American
Language Indicators: Slang and diction (American)
Profile: Sabu is the overall leader of the LulzSec group and since the arrest of Topiary, has taken over the spokespersonro le for Anonymous. Sabu's character strongest of the named group and is definitely in charge. Sabu is technically competent within the realm of computer technologies and is the elder of the group of Anonymous IINSUB's Sabu has character traits of a professional adult individual who puts on the guise of a "script kiddie" in language (netspeak) but functions within his normal day to day life within the business community without casting any clues to his other online activities.
It is likely that Sabu works in the information security sector and has been doing so since the early days of the internet and hacking activities. His use of net speak is interspersed with proper American English diction and grammar that implies he is an American citizen and has been educated. Varying logs from online IRC (Internet Relay Chat) sessionsh ave borne out the possibility however,t hat the userI D "Sabu" is sometimes also used by others to confuse authorities and others as to who the real person is behind the keyboard.
However, through an amalgam of transcripts the tell tale signs of a consistent individual can be clearly seen and assessed
The overall assessmenfto r the movement however is the following:
1. The movement is out of control and there seems to be no real coherent motivation
2. The leaders have begun to hide themselves a bit more due to arrests that have been made
3. Their reliance on technology will eventually be their downfall
4. Their interpersonal relationships are weak points, as such they should be leveraged
5. Their increasing attacks on infrastructure will eventually lead to serious results that could in fact lead to deaths
It is after the first real attributable deaths that there may be a tapering off of their ranks as the members realize that by outing individuals, actual physical actions can occur that cause great damage. Until such time though, the movement will continue with the masses used as fodder and the command structure urging them on to carry out their commands.

+10 points to anyone who can read between the lines on these two parts. And also guess as to the outcome...
Big Brotherhood
we can use social engineering to gain control of their assets and employ them to cause death in order to discredit them

The FBI spent money psychologically profiling the Anonykids, when I could have provided one free of charge ?
Psychological profile of the average Anonykid:
Has trouble differentiating between reality and imagination; deluded.
Angry at everything and everybody because of negative human interactions.
Morally ambiguous.
Inferiority complex.
Yearns to be accepted and respected; an aching need to ''belong''.
In fact, I'll throw in a physical profile for good measure:
Ugly.
Greasy haired.
Pimply skinned.
Unfashionable clothing; still likely to wear y-fronts.
Halitosis ( ranging from mild to acute ).
Pale complexion; vitamin D deficiency.
Gissa job, FBI.
