Biella Coleman describes this in her book, so you might want to read that. The interesting thing is that for some operations, the targets, participants, and general public thought the firepower was from a huge number of people each using LOIC or whatever, but the most impact actually came from a small number of Anons using botnets. And the botnet guys were lying to all the other Anons and letting them think everyone was equal in it. So even if someone describes to you how it works, they don't necessarily know.
Also it's changed over time as Anonymous got larger and more diffuse. Originally people would gather in chat rooms and try to reach something of a consensus before acting, but later on, someone would get an idea and just go for it without running it past other people. Which is why those later ops tended to be less effective, because they had fewer people and more half-baked ideas.
Now it's mostly dead.
I assume they mean Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy.
This is a common misconception of the groups entirety. Anonymous was not made for the sole purpose of hacking. It was made for fighting against the corrupt and doing the right thinking, helping people when they couldn't help themselves. They are believers in freedom of speech as well as freedom of information. To you point of "joining anonymous", there is not application for join anonymous it is more of an ideology it is something that will never go away as long a people remain associated with it. I can go on and on but if you would like to learn more about anonymous I would recommend reading Gabriella Coleman book (Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous). You can find it here https://www.amazon.com/Hacker-Hoaxer-Whistleblower-Spy-Faces/dp/1781689830
As far as hacking goes you can read up on some books, enroll in some classes, or reach out to people (harder than it sounds). Knowledge is power, if you want something you have to be committed.
