Below is a chart showing events over the last year related to LOIC, HOIC, HULK, and SlowLoris attacks. And while the use of these tools is not prominent, they can still be effective when correctly leveraged against unsuspecting and unprotected websites. In a world of easy-to-build IoT botnets and cheap attack services, it is odd to see some suggest using tools that are nearly a decade old. The tools suggested for this Anonymous operation, and many others are old and outdated, yet oddly enough, they still have a place in the threat landscape. Once exhausted, the server will not handle new connections from legitimate users, resulting in a denial-of-service state. Pyloris’ objective is to keep TCP connections open for as long as possible between the attacker and the victim’s servers in an attempt to exhaust the server’s connection table resources.
Pyloris enables the attacker to craft HTTP requests with custom packet headers, cookies, packet sizes, timeouts, and line-ending (CRLF) options. The tool is quite common among hacktivists and Anonymous supporters (it becomes very effective when used collectively by many attackers in a coordinated Denial of Service attack).Īnother one that was once considered a destructive tool is Pyloris. ByteDos also supports attacks behind proxies, enabling the attackers to hide their source and identity. It also supports two attack vectors: SYN Flood and ICMP Flood, allowing the user to choose his preferred attack vector. It is a simple, standalone executable file that does not require installation and comes equipped with embedded IP resolver capabilities that allow this attack tool to resolve IPs from domain names.

ByteDos is a Windows desktop DoS application. Once considered a destructive tool, ByteDoS has become a novelty in 2021. This effectively causes a Denial of Service condition by attacking multiple pages on the same site while making it seem like attacks are coming from several different users. hoic “booster” scripts allows the user to specify a list of rotating target URLs, referrers, user agents, and headers. While it has no significant obfuscation or anonymization techniques to protect the user’s origin, the use of. These files allow a user to deploy randomization countermeasures and increase the magnitude of the attack.
Additionally, HOIC has a built-in scripting system that accepts. This tool can cause a Denial of Service through the use of HTTP floods. High Orbit Ion Cannon, or HOIC for short, is a network stress testing tool related to LOIC both are used to launch Denial of Service attacks popularized by Anonymous. They recommended using antiquated DoS tools, such as LOIC, HOIC, ByteDoS, and Pyloris, all nearly 10-years-old. However, during a recent Anonymous operation, I was surprised to find that the group, which still uses PasteBin and GhostBin (to centralize operational details), had updated their target list from years prior and suggested the use of Memcached and other reflective attack vectors.
Today, you can still find Anonymous accounts on the usual social media outlets and video platforms spreading operational propaganda, but with limited impact compared to the past. While Anonymous has not entirely disappeared, its digital footprint has significantly reduced over the last five years.
The once mainstream group of organized Denial of Service (DoS) attacks with simple GUI-based tools were no more as the era of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and DDoS-as-a-Service began to take shape under the power of new IoT botnets such as Bashlite and Mirai. After Anonymous fell apart in 2016, the threat landscape shifted rapidly. French German Italian Portuguese (Brazil) Spanish Russian
