DDOSIM is another tool for a DDOS attack. It is written in C++ and runs on Linux. It simulates several compromised hosts (spoof IP addresses) and creates full TCP connections to the victim server.Its current functionalities include HTTP DDoS with valid requests, HTTP DDoS with invalid requests, SMTP DDoS, and TCP connection flooding on the random port.download:

Those tools weren't laced with malware, but the ones distributed in #OpIsrael are. For example, the tweet below urges users to download an Android app that would allow users to launch DDoS attacks from their phone against a target of the #OpIsrael campaign.
Anonymous on Monday gave mixed reactions to a US computer security firm's report that backers of the notorious hacker group were suckered into downloading software that steals online banking information. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); A message at a Twitter account for YourAnonNews blasted Symantec's findings as "wrong and libelous" while "tweets" from other accounts claiming to be voices from the loosely knit group alerted people to the danger.Symantec, which is among the long list of victims of Anonymous attacks, reported that someone replaced a software tool available for download by Anonymous allies with code that also steals bank account data.The Anonymous ally software is a small program that lets computers join an army of machines that hit websites with simultaneous requests for information or service in what are referred to as distributed-denial-of-service attacks (DDoS).A pastebin.com link that Anonymous supporters were referred to for the DDoS tool was replaced with a link to a deceptively similar Zeus virus that also steals online banking password and account information, according to Symantec."The Zeus client does perform DoS attacks, but it doesn't stop there," Symantec said in a blog post. "It also steals the users' online banking credentials, webmail credentials, and cookies.""Not only will supporters be breaking the law by participating in (denial-of-service) attacks on Anonymous hacktivism targets, but may also be at risk of having their online banking and email credentials stolen," Symantec added.The Anonymous tool was replaced with the duplicitous download on January 20, the day US authorities shut down file-sharing website Megaupload in a move condemned by the hacker group, according to Symantec.

Anonymous supporters who willingly used their PCs to participate in the group's Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks may have unknowingly handed over their personal e-mail and banking information in the process. In January 2012, an unnamed attacker took Slowloris, one of the DDoS attack tools popular with Anonymous supporters, and rigged it to include the Zeus Trojan. The individual copied and pasted an original Anonymous Pastebin entry offering the actual tool and replaced the download link with his own infected version. It just so happened that this post went viral among Anonymous supporters. To this day, it is still being shared on Anonymous blog posts and via Twitter.
The story begins on January 19, 2012, when authorities raided Megaupload, and Anonymous hackers retaliated by taking down DOJ, RIAA, MPAA, Universal Music websites, among others. That day, Anonymous released a list of several different DDoS attack tools under a guide referred to as "Tools of the DDoS trade" and "Idiot's Guide to Be Anonymous." Under "Operation Megaupload," supporters were urged to download one of the tools, which would enable them to contribute to the DDoS attacks with their own computers.
Once downloaded, installed, and executed, the infected version of Slowloris uses the Zeus botnet client to send login credentials and cookies to the criminal's C&C server. In typical Trojan fashion, the botnet also orders the Slowloris tool on the infected user's computer to attack Anonymous targets, ensuring that the victim still sees the tool do what he or she expects it to.
Today, just about anyone can download user-friendly software capable of crippling websites. One such tool is LOIC [Low Orbit Ion Cannon], which was used in Anonymous' attack on MasterCard, Visa and other companies late last year. 2ff7e9595c
