Hate to spoil your party, but Anonymous is everyone until you start leaving your ID everywhere, then anonymous is:
72.101.37.123
69.69.69.69
12.39.17.8
etc.

And up went a million cries of "I dun goof'd" ?

PS Nice sig, I lol'd

Going to mention again that this is 100% not the case.

As someone who was active in the IRC where LOIC was being developed, it was never intended to be anything other than a DoS tool. Thus the name, etc.

A perl (iirc) script used for sending packages to internet locations.
See also: USPS, Royal Mail, etc.

Obvious anon detected.

The problem is LOIC traffic probably looks a lot different than botnet dDoS traffic, also in places where other internet access is monitored, it's a safe bet that if half their traffic that -isn't- pakits is IRC and 4chan, then you've got the right guy.

Also your second point is wrong because any time that anything like this happens only about half the people are legit "Anonymous", the others are people that just show up from slashdot, digg, ebaums world, etc to help, and there is a large amount of organisation. Just look at chanloligy, probably the most organized thing "Anon" has ever done. Good times.

Two things, firstly they should have targeted mastercard's authentication servers, attacking their website does next to nothing. If their authentication servers went down they'd be unable to process payments and there would be some damage done.

Second... It's a sad day when we need a front page story on slashdot that essentially says "sending traffic to another network host reveals your ip address!!!"

Also lol at anyone that used WB/Pedrobear's scripts.

09:05 .:+Pedrobear: turtwig: like comparing it to the original slowloris.pl you can't see that much of a difference
09:05 .:+Pedrobear: but running my version appears like it's working but it uses a lot of ram and 100% cpu and never exits or actually make any sockets
^5 guys

The idea was that it wasn't needed because it would be assumed the attacking IPs were botnet drones, or some of them were botnet drones, and the people attacking would "blend in" or something.

This from a furry who thinks Khy is pronounced the same way as Cy. I wouldn't worry about what he thinks too much.

More FUD. Apple is developing a delivery platform for applications. If you don't like it open firefox and google for "python ide mac os x" or whatever you're looking for. They're not going to force you to use the app store. That's retarded and you're retarded for thinking it.

It also "makes" it a "bitch" to "read".

Your "highly excessive" use of "quotation marks" makes it really hard to hide your "obvious" "advertisement" for your "help article".

You realize this isn't the issue at hand at all, right? Of course you do, you just wanted to make sure you posted your propaganda.

Did someone beat you up with a model of the enterprise when you were a child? Get over it.

GP is talking about a rather well known story about verizon's billing math. There is an entire blogspot about it. http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/
