Anonymous Desktop OS Released, Hacking Tools Included - araizatheasked

The hacking group Anonymous now has its own desktop operating scheme, pre-loaded with tools for determination Website vulnerabilities and simulating denial-of-service attacks. However, around members of the group are already distancing themselves from the software.

Unnamed-OS is based bump off Ubuntu and uses MATE, an alternative interface. The OS comes pre-rich with a variety of hacking programs, much as the denial-of-service attack simulator Ddosim, the exploit image scanner Sql Toxicant and the password cracker John the Ripper. It also comes clad in Anonymous logos and slogans.

A Tumblr blog with information about the OS says it was created "for instructive purposes" and for "checking the security of vane pages." The blog cautions users non to use the OS to plan of attack any Websites, lest you "end up in jail because it is a crime in near countries!"

A Website called The Hacker News first spotted the OS connected Wednesday, but already, one of Unnamed' Twitter feeds is admonition users to be careful. Anonymous members were recently tricked into installing a trojan, so this supposed OS could Be other immobilise.

UPDATE: The AnonOps Twitter feed now claims the OS is "phoney" and "wrapped in trojans."

Such are the inherent pitfalls with a hacking group that has no leadership. When the FBI brought down splinter group LulzSec last workweek, with its alleged leader acting as an informant, Anon. members rapidly pointed out that they birth no leader, and that they represent "an theme, not a radical."

While that mentality Crataegus oxycantha prevent law enforcement from dismantling Anonymous from the top, it also allows anyone to act a phallus and release products supposedly on the group's behalf.

In whatsoever sheath, I'd steer clear of this one.
