Anonymous to Retire Low Orbit Ion Cannon? The hacker collective is reportedly developing a new DDoS tool called #RefRef in the wake of multiple arrests linked to the use of the LOIC to take down PayPal. Anonymous is considering putting its most formidable DDoS weapon in cold storage following a recent series of high-profile arrests of the hacker group's members, according to the AnonOps blog. Members of Anonymous are pushing to retire the group's Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) while the loosely organized hacker collective develops a new DDoS tool to take down websites called #RefRef, an AnonOps Communications blog post revealed Tuesday. The LOIC, an open source network stress testing application that is widely distributed throughout the Anonymous ranks to create a powerful, voluntary botnet, was "the go-to weapon for Anonymous supporters during protests against dictators in North Africa, and Operation: Payback," according to the AnonOps post. "In the end, the server succumbs to resource exhaustion due to #RefRef's usage.

Expect us.” No longer just an adjective in the English language, “Anonymous” is now also used to refer the countless members of Internet subculture who choose to protect their identities from the world. The idea of remaining anonymous on the Internet has been a topic of debate for nearly two decades, but in recent years, imageboards like 4chan and Futaba 2chan alongside wikis and forums like Encyclopedia Dramatica have proven themselves breeding grounds for users with a dangerous sense of unity and ability to willingness to make a difference in the world around them. But there is great power in numbers. Luckily, Anonymous has shown that power in numbers does not necessarily mean a digital Ku Klux Klan. Unfortunately, some members of Anonymous decided to take it upon them to take criminal action in the form of denial of service attacks on Scientology owned sites.

Anonymous - Encyclopedia Dramatica Anonymous is a banner that many channers , as well as hacktivists and IRC users, post under. Summary Often abbreviated as " Anon ", Anonymous refers to an indefinite collective centered around the chans . In the old days of /b/ , not many people took Anonymous seriously, and they treated it like the joke that it was. Because Anonymous is in essence a collective, ongoing flash mob , there's no true hierarchy or organizational structure. It should be noted that 4chan is one of the few chans that still openly embraces Anonymous. Origins Anon Anonymous actually started out in 1993 with the launching of anon.penet.fi by Johan "Julf" Helsingius of Finland . However, today's Anonymous grew out of the "tripfag debates" on 4chan. Eventually a FOX 11 report aired which described Anonymous and 4chan as an "internet hate machine" and as "domestic terrorists". Current status Images Videos Stephen Colbert mentions Anonymous.
