Anonymous "For a number of days the websites. MasterCard Visa PayPal and others are attacked by a group of wikileaks supporters. Although the group calls itself 'Anonymous,' researchers at the DACS group of the University. The LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon) software, which is used by the hacktivists, was analyzed by UT researchers, who concluded that the attacks generated by this tool are relatively simple and unveil the identity of the attacker.

If hacktivists use this tool directly from their own machines instead of via randomization networks such as Tor, the Internet address of the attacker is included in every Internet message being transmitted. In the tools no sophisticated techniques are used, such as IP-spoofing, in which the source address of others is used, or reflected attacks, in which attacks go via third party systems.
