JS LOIC: one-click attack
As you know, to conduct DDoS-attacks on sites Mastercard, Visa, Paypal and so on. Many members of the Anonymous group use the LOIC program (Low Orbit Ion Cannon), written in C # and originally intended for stress testing sites. The same program used to be used for DDoS attacks on the Church of Scientology sites and the RIAA website (in October 2010)
A remarkable fact: from December 8 to 10, 2010, the client version of this program was downloaded about 30,000 times, while the total number of downloads for the entire time of its existence is approximately 50,000. Most downloads in recent days come from the US (10,000 downloads), but An unexpected interest in stress testing sites was also shown by users from the UK (3200), Germany, France, Holland, Spain and Russia (each of these countries has from 1000 to 2000 downloads).
The server version of LOIC was downloaded about 33 thousand times.
With regard to the online tool "revenge" JS LOIC , then there is the number of users can not be counted.

JS LOIC is a relatively new modification of the tool, announced four days ago. Everything is simple here: choose a target - and in one click with the mouse launch the “orbital ion gun” (the name LOIC is chosen by the name of a similar weapon in the game Command & Conquer).
To synchronize the attacks, the Anonymous group uses a network of IRC channels and twitter accounts.
For example, to configure the client version of LOIC to synchronous attack, you need to select the Hive Mind mode and join the corresponding AnonOps IRC server. The attack will begin immediately as soon as the nodes in the original botnet receive a command from the IRC server.
It should be noted that in some countries participation in DDoS attacks is illegal, although in Russia there has not been a single precedent for the criminal prosecution of ordinary participants in attacks. Usually, law enforcement agencies hunt for the organizers, but they, of course, try to observe all precautions, sit at seven proxy servers and do not use such anonymous anonymity tools as LOIC.
