As news trickles in about the events in Iran, where apparently students are protesting the results of the elections and the government is cracking down on media outlets and journalists, there are DDoS instructions being posted to Twitter. The targets of the packages include:
Pagereload.com is evidently a way to get your browser to hit a site. The service is owned by someone in Karachi, Pakistan. LOIC is Low Orbit Ion Cannon, another Denial of Service tool. Another tool being linked to is BWRAEP, a GET flood tool, with a list of image files to grab from the above sites, causing the web servers to fail.
Meanwhile the brilliant folks at Renesys have posted a chart of network outages in Iran that are probably feeble attempts by the government to restrict Internet access.
While Twitter is not contributing to the action in the street (it is blocked in Iran by most reports) it Is being used to spread this type of cyber crowd sourced attacked.
A couple of good Twitter IDs to follow for updates on the situation in Iran: TehranBureau and persiankiwi
