Anonymous hacktivists has developed a new DDOS tool named RefRef which is said to be replacement for the LOIC. LOIC( Low Orbit Ion Canon) is the tool used by anonymous supporters to launch the DDOS attack on targeted servers.
However, Anonymous believe LOIC is the reason for their people getting arrested in the last year. So they thought to develop a new DDOS tool.
The definition provided by the developer:
"RefRef is a revolutionary DoS java site. Basically, by using an SQL and .js vulnerability, you can send a page request packet from your home computer with embedded .js file, because of the vulnerability in the SQL/Javascript engine on MOST websites, the site actually TEMPs the .js file on its own server. So now the .js is in place on the host of the site. Next since you still have the request, it picks up the .js file, and all of the requesting for packets power happens on the server, not the requestee. I send two packets from my iphone, and everything else happens on the server. Basically eats itself apart, because since both are on the server, its all a local connection."
