Anyway, I’m not encouraging you to join this war. If you do it, most likely the police will get you. But, it’s good to learn something from this cyber war, such as how it works.

First, download the software: LOIC.exe. Generally, it is used to test how requests a server can respond. But people also use it to attack some servers, since when a server got more requests it can bear, it will down.

This needs a lot of people to do so together. About this ‘Operation Payback’, it’s said that there are around 4,000 volunteer anonymous cyber soldiers to send the requests with LOIC to the same server during the same period time.

Second, run it. The below is the screen shot:

Also the organizers also put some manuals about it.

Third, the organizers will put the messages about which server to attack and when etc., including the targeted url.

Fourth, when you put the url in the right space, and press the button, the software will keep sending requests to the targeted server. When the server gets more loads than they can bear, it will down.

There are another software named “botnets”. It is put in someone’s computer without the master know. When the master runs the computer, the software will keep sending requests to the targeted server. So, botnets are called virus, etc.
