Aaron Barr founded HBGary in hopes of becoming a renowned organization specializing in cybersecurity services. In an effort to grow the company's reputation, Barr publically targeted the hacker group Anonymous. He believed he had identified a hierarchy within the organization and the names of many members. Barr exposed these individuals during a keynote speech at a cyber security conference while representing HBGary. Unfortunately, Barr was wrong about everything; to make matters worse, he made enemies at Anonymous.

This is the story of the man who picked a fight with Anonymous.
