One such site, 'Last Measure', contained embedded malware that opened up 'an endless cascade of pop-up windows displaying pornography or horrific medical pictures.' They also performed proof of concept demonstrations. The GNAA also produced shock sites containing malware. On Wikipedia, members of the group created an article about the group, while still adhering to Wikipedia's rules and policies a process Andrew Lih says 'essentially the system against itself.' Another method included attacking many Internet Relay Chat channels and networks using different IRC flooding techniques. One method involved flooding a weblog's comment form with text consisting of repeated words and phrases, referred to as 'crapflooding'. The GNAA used many different methods of trolling. The group denied allegations of racism and homophobia, explaining that the name was intended to sow disruption on the Internet and challenge social norms (claiming it was derived from the 1992 Danish satirical blaxploitation film Gayniggers from Outer Space). The group's name incited controversy and was described as 'causing immediate alarm in anyone with a semblance of good taste', 'intentionally offensive', and 'spectacularly offensive'. GNAA has also been documented as having been loosely affiliated with the satirical wiki Encyclopedia Dramatica. Other members included former president Andrew ' weev' Auernheimer, Daniel 'JacksonBrown' Spitler, and former spokesman Leon Kaiser. Cochran (as a trans woman) is also the only known woman member of GNAA. Known former presidents of the GNAA were security researcher Jaime 'asshurtmacfags' Cochran, who also co-founded the hacking group 'Rustle League', and 'timecop', founder of the anime fansub group 'Dattebayo'. In her 2017 book Troll Hunting, Australian journalist Ginger Gorman identified the president of the GNAA as an individual from Colorado known as 'Meepsheep'. Reporters also referred to the GNAA as a group. However, professor Jodi Dean and Ross Cisneros claimed that they were an organized group of anti-blogging trolls. New media researcher Andrew Lih stated that it was unclear whether or not there was initially a clearly defined group of GNAA members, or if founding and early members of the GNAA were online troublemakers united under the name in order to disrupt websites. After the vulnerability was disclosed, the then-president of the GNAA, weev, and a GNAA member, 'JacksonBrown', were arrested. Members of Goatse Security released information in June 2010 about email addresses on AT&T's website from people who had subscribed to mobile data service using the iPad. Members of the GNAA also founded Goatse Security, a grey hat information security group.
