* What Andrea Krakovsky remembers most about her first time is the panic attack that followed. She was 17*, lying in bed with her 20-year-old boyfriend—a restaurant cook she’d met through friends—in the basement of his parents’ house. After weeks of discussion, they’d finally had sex. It was a brief and, for Andrea, painful experience. Instead of feeling newly grown-up or flush with tender emotions, she started to hyperventilate. Slipping outside, she clutched a porch railing as she fought the urge to throw up. She and her boyfriend had used a condom, but she was consumed with fear that she’d just gotten pregnant or contracted a sexually transmitted infection.

Back then, Andrea brushed this off as ridiculous; she and her friends had already experimented with oral sex. But now the words echoed in her brain.

The '''Gay Nigger Association of America''' ('''GNAA''') was an ] group. They targeted several prominent websites and Internet personalities including '']'', ], ], ], ], and prominent members of the ]. They also released software products, and leaked screenshots and information about upcoming operating systems. In addition, they maintained a software repository and a wiki-based site dedicated to Internet commentary.<ref name="GLS" /><ref name="punto" />

Members of the GNAA also founded ], a ] information security group. Members of Goatse Security released information in June 2010 about email addresses on ]'s website from people who had subscribed to mobile data service using the ]. After the vulnerability was disclosed, the then-president of the GNAA, ], and a GNAA member, "JacksonBrown", were arrested.<ref name="Bilton" />

==Origins, known members and name==
The group was run by a president.<ref name="rohr" /> ] researcher ] 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.<ref name="nobodies" /> However, professor ] and Ross Cisneros claimed that they were an organized group of anti-blogging trolls.<ref name="GLS" /><ref name="cisneros" /> Reporters also referred to the GNAA as a group.<!--<ref name="rohr" />--><ref name="scotsman" /><ref name="ffbug" /><ref name="netwerk" />

In her 2017 book ''Troll Hunting'', Australian journalist Ginger Gorman identified the president of the GNAA as an individual from ] known as "Meepsheep".<ref name="trollhunting" /> Known former presidents of the GNAA were security researcher Jaime "asshurtmacfags" Cochran, who also co-founded the hacking group "Rustle League",<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/nn4gvk/rustle-league-are-making-sure-trolling-stays-funny |title=Meet the Mysterious Hacking Collective Who Love Trolling Anonymous |publisher=] |date=February 22, 2013 |access-date=January 17, 2022 }}</ref> and "timecop", founder of the anime fansub group "Dattebayo". Cochran is also the only known woman member of GNAA.<ref name="trollhunting" /><ref name="ViceCochran">{{cite news |last1=Eordogh |first1=Fruzsina |title=Meet the Mysterious Hacking Collective Who Love Trolling Anonymous |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/nn4gvk/rustle-league-are-making-sure-trolling-stays-funny |access-date=6 September 2022 |work=www.vice.com |language=en}}</ref> Other members included former president Andrew "]" Auernheimer, Daniel "JacksonBrown" Spitler,<ref name="Bilton" /><ref name="dailytech" /> and former spokesman Leon Kaiser.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dailytech.com/Interview+Goatse+Security+on+FBI+Charges+Following+ATT+iPad+Breach/article20693.htm |title=DailyTech - Interview: Goatse Security on FBI Charges Following AT&T iPad Breach |access-date=January 31, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140331112332/http://www.dailytech.com/Interview+Goatse+Security+on+FBI+Charges+Following+ATT+iPad+Breach/article20693.htm |archive-date=March 31, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> GNAA has also been documented as having been loosely affiliated with the satirical wiki ].<ref name="trollhunting" />

The group's name incited controversy and was described as "causing immediate alarm in anyone with a semblance of good taste", "intentionally offensive",<ref name="nobodies" /> and "spectacularly offensive".<ref name="scotsman" /> The group denied allegations of racism and homophobia, explaining that the name was intended to ] on the Internet and challenge ] (claiming it was derived from the 1992 Danish satirical ] film '']'').<ref name="GLS" />

==Trolling==
The GNAA used many different methods of trolling. One was to simply "]" a weblog's comment form with text consisting of ].<ref name="GLS" /><ref name="scotsman" /> On Misplaced Pages, members of the group created an article about the group, while adhering to Misplaced Pages's rules and policies; a process Andrew Lih says "essentially the system against itself."<ref name="nobodies" /> Another method included attacking many ] channels and networks using different ] techniques.<ref name="IRC" />

The GNAA also produced ]s containing ].<ref name="GLS" /><ref name="porndotcom" /> One such site, "Last Measure", contained embedded malware that opened up "an endless cascade of pop-up windows displaying pornography or horrific medical pictures."<ref name="porndotcom" /><ref name="jones" /> They also performed ] demonstrations.<ref name="IRC" /><ref name="obamabug" /> These actions occasionally interrupted the normal operation of popular websites.

===2000s===
In July 2004, two GNAA members submitted leaked screenshots of the upcoming operating system ]<ref name="giga" /> to the popular ] news website ], resulting in a post which read "With ] just days away, the first Tiger information and screenshots appears to have been leaked. According to sources, Apple will reportedly provide developers with a Mac OS X 10.4 preview copy at WWDC on Monday. The screenshots provided reportedly come from this upcoming developer preview."<ref name="macrumors-tiger" />

In June 2005, the GNAA announced that it had created a Mac OS X Tiger release for ] ] processors which caught media attention from various sources.<ref name="macdailynews" /><ref name="wild" /><ref name="cultofmac" /> The next day, the supposed leak was mentioned on the ] television show '']''.<ref name="aots" /> The ] released via ] merely booted a ]<ref name="aots" /><ref name="rubygoldmine" /> instead of the leaked operating system.<ref name="bandwagon" />

On February 3, 2007, the GNAA successfully managed to convince CNN reporter ] that "one in three Americans" believe that the ] were ].<ref name="CNN3" /> CNN subsequently ran a story erroneously reporting this, involving a round-table discussion regarding antisemitism and an interview with the father of a Jewish 9/11 victim.<ref name="CNN2" /> The GNAA-owned website said that "over 4,000" Jews were absent from work at the World Trade Center on 9/11.<ref name="CNN2" />

On February 11, 2007, an attack was launched on the website of US presidential candidate (and future US president) ], where the group's name was caused to appear on the website's front page.<ref name="obama" />

===2010s===
In late January 2010, the GNAA used a then-obscure phenomenon known as cross-protocol scripting (a combination of ] and ]) to cause users of the ] IRC network to unknowingly flood IRC channels after visiting websites containing inter-protocol exploits.<ref name="ffbug" /> They also have used a combination of inter-protocol, cross-site, and ] bugs in both the ] and ] web browsers to flood IRC channels.<ref name="netwerk" />

On October 30, the GNAA began a trolling campaign in the aftermath of ] on the US East Coast, spreading fake photographs and ] of alleged looters in action. After the GNAA published a press-release detailing the incident,<ref name="SandyLootCrew" /> mainstream media outlets began detailing how the prank was carried out.<ref name="SMH" /><ref>{{cite web |last=Dillon |first=Kit |title=Less Looting, More Trolling: Daily Mail, Drudge Get Pwnd By Twitter Pranksters #SandyLootCrew |url=http://betabeat.com/2012/11/less-looting-more-trolling-daily-mail-drudge-get-pwnd-by-twitter-pranksters/ |publisher=] |access-date=November 2, 2012}}</ref>

On December 3, the GNAA was identified as being responsible for a ] attack on ] that resulted in thousands of Tumblr blogs being defaced with a pro-GNAA message.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hepburn |first=Ned |url=http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/191704/tumblr-just-got-massively-hacked/ |title=Tumblr just got massively hacked |work=Deathandtaxesmag.com |date=December 3, 2012 |access-date=March 19, 2013}}</ref>

In January 2013, the GNAA collaborated with users on the imageboard ] to start a "#cut4bieber" trend on Twitter, encouraging fans of Canadian pop singer ] to practice ].<ref name="cut4bieber" /><ref name="NYDailyNews" />

From 2014 into 2015, GNAA members began playing an active role in the ], sabotaging efforts made by pro-Gamergate parties. Several GNAA members were able to gain administrative access to ]'s (an imageboard associated with Gamergate) primary Gamergate board, which they disrupted and ultimately closed.

  • What Andrea Krakovsky remembers most about her first time is the panic attack that followed. She was 17*, lying in bed with her 20-year-old boyfriend—a restaurant cook she’d met through friends—in the basement of his parents’ house. After weeks of discussion, they’d finally had sex. It was a brief and, for Andrea, painful experience. Instead of feeling newly grown-up or flush with tender emotions, she started to hyperventilate. Slipping outside, she clutched a porch railing as she fought the urge to throw up.
