Mamata Declares Herself to be Maoist : Anonymous...or is It?

I am sure most of you who is reading this post already know what happened on 14th August.

 14th August night at 07:00 P.M IST aitmc.org (the official website of All India Trinamul Congress) was hacked (Wait I didn't say by who/whom).

 On Aitmc's site there is a place where the chairperson (Mamata Banerjee) expresses her views. On 14th night a new message appeared from the CM which went like below.

"I AM A MAOIST at heart and always have been, It always pained me to speak and act against the ideology that I myself loved so much. I also appologize to the people whom I have hurt, The artist who tried to speak the truth, the writers who saw the right thing and every and any person who tried to tell me I was going in the wrong direction, I am at your feet asking you to forgive me for the misguided acts I have done In life"

 Well there were more but you get the point. The full statement can be seen in the below screenshot


A full dump  can be seen here  https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7SrIu7x4XHQT2EwTnR6NkRxaHc/edit?pli=1#

And as usual everyone jumped over on it and for obvious reasons everyone thought Anonymous did this. And the below tweet didn't help either


And most of the news and media I have seen till now have proudly linked them to it.
The only problem is that the hack was not performed by Anon India. Instead it was done by one of their friend @TeamVOID who informed Anon india first of it.

And Anon India has tried to convey it several times too

And on top of that several media has started stating that Anonymous is a Maoist Group :P Prompting them to start the   campaign :)

FirefoxOS, A keyboard and prediction: Story of my first contribution

Returning to my cubical holding a hot cup of coffee and with a head loaded with frustration and panic over a system codebase that I managed to break with no sufficient time to fix it before the next morning.  This was at IBM, New York where I was interning and working on the TJ Watson project. I returned back to my desk, turned on my dual monitors, started reading some blogs and engaging on Mozilla IRC (a new found and pretty short lived hobby). Just a few days before that, FirefoxOS was launched in India in the form of an Intex phone with a $35 price tag. It was making waves all around, because of its hefty price and poor performance . The OS struggle was showing up in the super low cost hardware. I was personally furious about some of the shortcomings, primarily the keyboard which at that time didn’t support prediction in any language other than English and also did not learn new words. Coincidentally, I came upon Dietrich Ayala in the FirefoxOS IRC channel, who...

Curious case of Cisco AnyConnect and WSL2

One thing Covid has taught me is the importance of VPN. Also one other thing COVID has taught me while I work from home  is that your Windows Machine can be brilliant  as long as you have WSL2 configured in it. So imagine my dismay when I realized I cannot access my University resources while being inside the University provided VPN client. Both of the institutions I have affiliation with, requires me to use VPN software which messes up WSL2 configuration (which of course I realized at 1:30 AM). Don't get me wrong, I have faced this multiple times last two years (when I was stuck in India), and mostly I have been lazy and bypassed the actual problem by side-stepping with my not-so-noble  alternatives, which mostly include one of the following: Connect to a physical machine exposed to the internet and do an ssh tunnel from there (not so reliable since this is my actual box sitting at lab desk, also not secure enough) Create a poor man's socks proxy in that same box to have...
