How to Plan and Execute an Act of Electronic Civil Disobedience

[Delirium]

In the midst of hacktivists using ECDs (similar to distributed denial of service attacks) to defend Wikileaks, it's worth having a document that describes how such attacks are planned and executed. Such a zine has recently been released that is written in laypersons terms so expertise in computing or networking is certainly not needed to understand it. If you have the ability to browse the web and edit a Microsoft Word document, you've probably got what it takes to understand the ideas it presents.
The zine goes through everything from anonymously scoping out your target to distributing your ECD tools and call-out. It includes a guide on doing research and making online postings anonymously, legal risks you may encounter and analysis of the effectiveness of ECDs as opposed to other large protest tactics. It reviews three popular tools (the Greek ECD Tool, the Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and Slow Loris) and provides step-by-step instructions for configuring and packaging them. It also includes a short section on the history of the use of ECDs by social movements.

I've always been very interested in DoS and DDoS. I'm actually a member on a large hacking forum, and I've learned alot from it since I signed up. You'd be surprised, the level of hackers that are reds. There's a pretty good number of them!

Anyway, I'm reading through this to see if there is anything to learn(there probably is). Thanks for the share, comrade. :3

I dont really know much about it personally. I just thought that a few people might use it here. I'd like to learn more though.

Definately a good resource to have posted.

We've got to troll the Internet as a tactic against the corporate fucks who are slowly taking over the internet(Google, Facebook, Twitter, news sources like CNN, ect.)

Trolling and being a complete arse is a good tactic. (Of course we wouldn't do this on our beloved homeland Revleft, though).

Kinda know what you mean there. TESCO has put up a group on Facebook in support of thier new council house demolishing-sports centre wrecking-gentrification excercise in Huddersfield. They even got one of those paid adverts on the site to advertise it to Hudds Facebook users. We set up an anti group, but it's getting surprisingly low membership :bored:
