“I am an ex-soldier with a rather famous unit, country purposely not specified,” wrote th3j35t3r. In an email exchange with Richard Stiennon, author of Surviving Cyberwar, in January 2010, th3j35t3r claimed he is ex-military. Although there has been much speculation, th3j35t3r’s identity has not been conclusively determined and confirmed.
Th3j35t3r (The Jester) is a self-proclaimed “hacktivist for good” who has taken down numerous jihadist websites and, most recently, using a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The identity of th3j35t3r as an individual, a group, a secret government program, or otherwise remains unknown and he is “crack on”, as he has said, with his DoS campaign against jihadist websites. While this is not beyond the realm of possibility, there is no hard evidence to support this far-fetched claim, which gets cut to pieces when pressed against the sharp blade of Occam’s razor. Some have gone as far as to suggest that th3j35t3r is not an individual at all, but a persona created as a front for a secret government program that carries out unattributable cyber-attacks.
intelligence community, the Department of Defense, or law enforcement has no knowledge as to th3j35t3r’s true identity given his stated military background and the fact that he posses such a demonstrably powerful and effective cyber-weapon as XerXes. Government–an assertion that he expressly denies–it is unlikely that no one inside the U.S. While there is no hard evidence that th3j35t3r has assistance from the U.S.
Some have suggested that th3j35t3r might also receive some level of support from operatives within the U.S. The involvement of rjacksix and others, however, shows that th3j35t3r is not the “lone wolf” operator he has claimed to be and receives operations support from civilians like rjacksix. But while rjacksix has publicly claimed that he and th3j35t3r “have worked together” and share “operational details”, it is unlikely that Robin Jackson is th3j35t3r. He is now a declared target of Anonymous, some of whom’s members believe he is a Robin Jackson of Helena, Montana, a 49-year-old employee of the State of Montana who goes by the online handle of “rjacksix”. He recently carried out a DoS attack against, which generated quite a bit of media attention. He uses a DoS tool called XerXes that he claims to be the sole author of. He also claims to be “an ex-soldier with a rather famous unit” and to have served two tours of duty as an airborne combat trooper “in (and around) Afghanistan amongst other places”.
