Infamous internet imageboard 4chan has taken down the RIAA and MPAA's websites in a co-ordinated DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) campaign, supposedly in retribution for similar attacks against filesharing websites.
Hundreds of thousands of 4chan users and sympathisers from other online communities joined forces to direct massive amounts of traffic to the target sites using a bit of software called the Low-Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC). LOIC offers a simple way of flooding a server with data, and when used by hundreds of users at the same time, it's almost impossible to guard against, as the attacks are massively distributed.

lol I didn't catch that. Yeah I'd say that's exaggerated.
They had this shit well planned and organized. I was fucking impressed.
From the ion cannon download to all the necessary info to make it happen.
Good on them - All this for teh PB retribution a worthy cause :thumbsup:
You'd be surprised sometimes dude. I was on IRC with a load of /b/tards during a few raids. People do plan shit sometimes.
Ill bet a lot of those guys were probably from 711 or 888 though.
Take the Scientology raids. Shit never really appealed.
But this time it was for a good reason. It was because they tried to Rape the PirateBay.
Sure they won their case, but it was the principle behind it.
The MPAA & RIAA tried every fuckin dirty trick in the book from ddos'g the PB servers
to trying the old, "we'll financially ruin you in the courts." When the RIAA lost the case.
I couldn't imagine them giving up since they have so much money coming out of their asses
to push it further....Thanks to this shit, The RIAA now know they're not as invincible as they
thought they were and there is way to much support against what they're trying to achieve.
FUCK THE RIAA
Very relevant.

Or their ion cannon if it's still @ softpedia.
It seemed to do the job.:D
The Low Orbit Ion Cannon IS LOIC
I'll write up a short guide on DDoSing using this tool, it's easy enough.

Really?
LoL....
And we will. We will eventually have the army back up and running, I hope
