 Name: Sudani Sea Raiders (Anonymous Sudan)

Category: Hacker Group

Type: Hacktivist Collective

Captain's Note: Ahoy! The Sudani Sea Raiders, known in the cyber realm as Anonymous Sudan, be a group of hackers shrouded in mystery. They've set their sails against targets across Sweden, Denmark, America, and Australia, claiming to fight against "anti-Muslim activity." But their murky waters run deeper, with whispers of connections to Russia and collaborations with the likes of Killnet. Their cannon fire? DDoS attacks, flooding their targets with malicious waves of traffic, threatening the digital shores far and wide.

Primary Function: The Sudani Sea Raiders are primarily engaged in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks inundate websites and web infrastructures with overwhelming malicious traffic, paralyzing their ability to respond to legitimate requests and leaving users stranded.

Signature Tactics:

• DDoS Assaults: The group's main weapon is launching overwhelming HTTP traffic attacks aimed at crippling targeted infrastructures.
• Paid Infrastructure: Unlike other hacking groups, they utilize rented servers for their assaults, indicating significant financial backing and raising suspicions about their grassroots hacktivist claims.
• Public Threats and Propaganda: They often herald their attacks with public threats, seeking attention for their ideological motives and creating uncertainty among potential targets.

Notable Operations:

• Attacks in Nordic Countries: In February 2023, they targeted Swedish and Danish websites in response to perceived anti-Muslim acts.
• Israeli Website Attacks: In April 2023, they launched attacks against Israeli websites due to military actions in Palestine.
• Attack on AO3: In July 2023, they targeted the fan-fiction website AO3, citing religious objections to its content.
• Collaborations with Killnet: They've joined forces with pro-Russian groups to launch attacks for varied reasons, including targeting Australian institutions and threatening critical banking infrastructure amid the Russia/Ukraine conflict​​​​.

Potential Impact: The Sudani Sea Raiders' tactics, particularly DDoS attacks, pose significant threats to the accessibility and functionality of targeted websites and infrastructures, leading to operational disruptions and public visibility to their ideological stances.
