Common usage It is an app written in C# and developed by praetox that was exploited during Project Chanology to facilitate DDoS attacks on Scientology's webservers. The program itself doesn't control any botnets or the like (at least in its original iterations), but is intended to be used in very large groups, often organized in IRC channels. It is not advisable to use this software, as it facilitates DDOS attacks, which are considered illegal by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Related Pages External Links.

Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. DoS threats are also common in business,[1] and are sometimes responsible for website attacks.[2] This technique has now seen extensive use in certain games, used by server owners, or disgruntled competitors on games, such as server owners' popular Minecraft servers.
Increasingly, DoS attacks have also been used as a form of resistance. Richard Stallman has stated that DoS is a form of 'Internet Street Protests’.[3] The term is generally used relating to computer networks, but is not limited to this field; for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management.[4] Denial-of-service attacks are considered violations of the Internet Architecture Board's Internet proper use policy, and also violate the acceptable use policies of virtually all Internet service providers.
How A DDoS Attack Works. Pro-WikiLeaks denial of service attacks: just another form of civil disobedience. - By Evgeny Morozov. Judging by the last two weeks, being an enemy of Julian Assange is only marginally less stressful than being Julian Assange. Amazon, PayPal, MasterCard, and Visa, which all moved to cut ties with Assange's WikiLeaks after the site's release of diplomatic cables, have been the targets of distributed denial-of-service attacks from a group that calls itself "Anonymous. " There is nothing fancy going on here. DDoS attacks simply aim to send more traffic to a target site than it can handle, slowing it down or making it temporarily unavailable. Many prominent Internet personalities, including John Perry Barlow and Cory Doctorow, have spoken out against DDoS on the sensible-sounding grounds that one can't fight for free speech by limiting it for others.
How, then, does Anonymous defend its actions? John Rawls, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, offered one of the best modern theories of civil disobedience in his 1971 masterpiece, A Theory of Justice. DDoS Attacks Make Headlines, But How Common Are They? LOIC tool enables 'easy' WikiLeaks-driven DDoS attacks. How was it that a loosely-coupled group of cyber-protestors could launch -- with varying degrees of success -- targeted distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against sites such as MasterCard, PayPal, PostFinance, and the website belonging to a Swedish prosecutor? Turns out it's quite simple. All an attacker need do is download the open source network stress testing tool known as LOIC (the Low Orbit Ion Cannon) that is widely available. Launching an attack with LOIC is mind-numbingly easy: just point and shoot.
LOIC will then flood the target with HTTP requests, UDP and TCP packets. More about Wikileaks Those participating in the pro-Wikileaks riots could operate on their own, or choose to connect their system to the "LOIC Hivemind" voluntary botnet that is centrally controlled by those behind Operation Payback. Since the launch of the attacks, LOIC has been downloaded nearly 70,000 times. What is new is the ease of which a tool such as LOIC can be put into action. The Metasploit Project - Penetration Testing | Statement on DDOS attacks. WikiLeaks, protest and the law: The rights and wrongs of hacktivism. The Anonymous WikiLeaks protests are a mass demo against control | Richard Stallman.
The Anonymous web protests over WikiLeaks are the internet equivalent of a mass demonstration. It's a mistake to call them hacking (playful cleverness) or cracking (security breaking). The LOIC program that is being used by the group is prepackaged so no cleverness is needed to run it, and it does not break any computer's security. The protesters have not tried to take control of Amazon's website, or extract any data from MasterCard.
They enter through the site's front door, and it just can't cope with the volume. Calling these protests DDoS, or distributed denial of service, attacks is misleading, too. No – the proper comparison is with the crowds that descended last week on Topshop stores. The internet cannot function if websites are frequently blocked by crowds, just as a city cannot function if its streets are constantly full by protesters. In the physical world, we have the right to print and sell books. Reading, too, is done on sufferance. De cyberaanval als het nieuwe demonstreren. Wat is eigenlijk het verschil tussen betogers die de voordeur van een bedrijf blokkeren, en actievoerders die de website van hetzelfde bedrijf onbereikbaar maken? Hebben de laatsten niet dezelfde rechten als de eersten? Op de Opiniepagina’s van de papieren next stelt communicatiedeskundige Peter Schouten vandaag dat er juridisch geen enkel verschil zou moeten zijn tussen beide betogingen: in beide gevallen leggen de demonstranten een deel van die organisatie tijdelijk stil en veroorzaakt hun betoging financiële schade.
Maar dat verschil is er wel. De twee jongens, van zestien en negentien jaar, die afgelopen week werden opgepakt door de politie wegens cyberaanvallen op de websites van Mastercard, Visa en het OM, hangt een celstraf van zes jaar boven het hoofd. Zij worden vervolgd op grond van artikel 161sexies van het Wetboek van Strafrecht: het opzettelijk vernielen van een geautomatiseerd werk, waardoor gevaar voor de verlening van diensten te duchten is.

Proposal for a Directive on attacks against information systems, repealing Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA. Brussels, 30 September 2010 Proposal for a Directive on attacks against information systems, repealing Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA What is the problem to be addressed? In recent years, the number of attacks against information systems (IT systems) – or, in common words, the illegal entering of or tampering with information systems - has risen steadily in Europe.
Moreover, previously unknown large-scale and dangerous attacks against the information systems of companies, such as banks, the public sector and even the military, have been observed in the Member States and other countries. New concerns, such as the massive spread of malicious software creating 'botnets' - networks of infected computers that can be remotely controlled to stage large-scale, coordinated attacks - have emerged. What is a botnet? The term botnet indicates a network of computers that have been infected by malicious software (computer virus).

Hacker' Mastercard gepakt. 16-jarige bekent WikiLeaks-aanval. MasterCard.com was 10 uur lang onbereikbaar NOS Een 16-jarige Nederlandse jongen heeft bekend dat hij betrokken is geweest bij de aanval op de website van onder meer creditcardmaatschappij MasterCard.
De politie arresteerde hem woensdagnacht in Den Haag. De website van MasterCard werd woensdag platgelegd door hackers en was een groot deel van de dag uit de lucht. In de loop van de avond bleek dat ze gebruikmaakten van een server in Haarlem. MasterCard is één van de bedrijven die geen zaken meer wil doen met WikiLeaks, de klokkenluiderssite die geheime Amerikaanse documenten publiceert. Ook de websites van het Zweedse Openbaar Ministerie, de Zwitserse postbank, de creditcardmaatschappij Visa en de betalingssite Paypal waren slachtoffer van computeraanvallen. De cyberaanvallen zijn gepleegd door sympathisanten van WikiLeaks. Bij de jongen die is gearresteerd is beslag gelegd op computers en digitale gegevensdragers.
Anonn.tk. Inside 'Anonymous': tales from within the group taking aim at Amazon and Mastercard | Technology. "Just don't use my name, OK, please? " said the person on the other end of the phone. "I don't want this to get out. " His cause for concern? He'd helped produce some innocuous content - nothing actionable legally in any way - for "Anonymous", the vague online group spawned by 4Chan's /b/ forums. The real reason he was worried wasn't that he thought law enforcement might find out. How do I know? One thing both my interviewees had in common is recent contact with higher education: one is still a student in the UK, while the other recently left a British university. My main guide we'll call an0n (his chosen name for our conversation, though not his online handle). The choosing of a target is a messy process - you could barely call a process except that it has an outcome (or sometimes none). They get lost in the flow: these chatrooms have up to 3,000 people, and the questions come in a stream and pass by in a river of commentary, observations, links and jokes.

Both Facebook and Twitter have closed accounts corresponding to Anonymous, a formerly 4chan-linked group organizing a string of DDoS attacks on organizations that refuse to work with WikiLeaks. We realize that first sentence is quite a brainful; let's break down the drama for newcomers to this saga of politics and technology. WikiLeaks is a controversial (to say the least) whistleblower site. WikiLeaks recently drew the particular ire of the U.S. government after releasing a whopping 250,000 cables from American embassies and diplomats; the cables were first released to news organizations and more than a thousand were then published directly to the WikiLeaks site.
Some of those leaked documents didn't have proper redactions and may have exposed active government operatives to danger. Due to political pressure and citing TOS violations, organizations from Paypal to Amazon Web Services began denying service to WikiLeaks. How Operation Payback Executes Its Attacks. Over the last few days, companies like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Amazon.com have found themselves targets of coordinated distributed denial-of-service attacks, designed to force their websites and other infrastructure elements offline. The campaign, which is called "Operation Payback" (and is reportedly headed up by Anonymous), is targeting companies that have denied service to WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.
In essence, what is happening is that lots and lots of individuals are hammering specific websites with TCP or UDP packets or HTTP requests. There are only so many resources to go around, which means that with enough individuals involved, even large websites can be taken down very quickly. Most of the participants in Operation Payback are not hackers — at least not in the true sense of the word.
Instead, these users are using computer programs — or more recently, simply visiting websites — in order to stage their attack. Legitimate civil disobedience: Wikileaks and the layers of backlash | Deanna Zandt. (Update/edit note, 12/15: If you, like me, tend not to read comments in general because they’re troll-fests, I suggest suspending your disbelief and reading the comments on this post.
There’s an incredibly useful, thoughtful and productive discussion going on. With that, let me also say that I’m a tyrannical comment moderator and delete unproductive/trolling comments.) (Note: There are so many parts to the Wikileaks story that it’s almost impossible to cover them all–once you start to detangle one angle, you discover twenty more. Slip down that rabbit hole, and you’ll come out dizzier than when you went in.
I attended Personal Democracy Forum’s symposium on Wikileaks yesterday–a fantastic lineup of speakers and attendees, gathered quickly to discuss one of the most complicated intersections of Internet and politics that we’ve seen in a while. A quick lesson on DDoS for the unfamiliar: a group of people gets together and decides to render a website unusable.
