WikiLeaks Supporters Downloading Botnet Toolkit

Supporters of the WikiLeaks targeted attacks are downloading the Botnet toolkit in order to facilitate DDoS attacks on sites deemed unfriendly to WikiLeaks. So far, 50K downloads have been completed as part of Operation Payback.

"The main purpose of the tool, allegedly, is to conduct stress tests of the Web applications, so that the developers can see how a Web application behaves under a heavier load," said Svajcer.
