The 5elafabook - is pronounced Khelafabook and means "the book of the Caliphate", he declared independent and that it is not funded by the Islamic State. Nevertheless, they shared the same worldview and the same principles as the Islamic State.

Surprisingly, the web www.5elafabook.com was hosted in the US. The site appeared to be scarce and did not use encryption. The security researcher Rickey Gevers claims that the "set-up was done by an amateur ISIS supporter or a prankster".

Amateur or not, however, the website caught their attention Anonymous, who soon took responsibility for the site's violation.

5elafabook.com was clearly an incomplete Pre-Beta and came online on Sunday before it was logged out about a day later.

The site was using the Socialkit social networking platform and hosted on GoDaddy.com's webservices. The domain was purchased by its owner on 3 March using a Moslem address. He had a country of origin in Egypt, and the phone number was fake.
