ROME - New episode of what is now called "Italian Campaign" by the same hackers Anonymous. The "electronic network for Internet freedom" became famous for attacks on pro-Wikileaks claims to have attacked "in 1400" the sites of government. it, the Senate. com, parliament. com and to Mediaset. The attack was carried out using the technique DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) or the "denial of service" while trying to overpower the bandwidth of the servers that host the sites.
The group claims to have made "several sites inaccessible for several hours, but according to the police post attack resulted in only" a few critical issues to the government website, while attacks on the sites of the House and Senate would have failed. Indeed, in some cases were their countermeasures (including the temporary suspension of access from abroad), to 'lock in' short-term corporate websites.
Today was the second attack of Anonymous against Italy. Last Sunday, after announced Jan. 30 it had hit the site of the government, but even in that case, there was a total blockade. Even today's attack against the government website was announced, but not against the Parliament. decision to attack the sites of the House and Senate, according to an online press release "was the result of a long debate among the non-Italians." "Anonymous - the statement - does not accept that the House during a debate there are politicians who fall asleep or, worse, begin to use bad language, with chants or even coming to blows." "While they fight out of that place institutional hundreds of thousands of families make ends meet." The "Campaign in Italy" is not complete and the promise that the Anonymous hacker raids computer will continue "until there are radical changes" in Italy, also exploiting the element of surprise.
"There is no doubt that DDoS attacks, to get a 'block' political or economic, are an effective and inexpensive enough to implement them as a 'tool' from a few tens of dollars," says Ivan ANSA Stranger, responsible for Arbor Networks, in Italy and Southern Europe, which has just published a study on the security of global networks.
"The tools to combat it are already there. There are software that allow you to 'see' the quality of Internet broadcasts, in order to take appropriate corrective action to contain and security that is not legitimate." But "the DDoS attack is evolving towards a more sophisticated form, which targets not only the site itself but also the security systems of the server that hosts it.
And he, unintentionally, may end up contributing to the block of 'access'. According to the expert DDoS attacks today are comparable to the first computer virus 15 years ago. "When I appeared, computer viruses - he adds - no one knew how to deal with. Then the company began to devote himself to the problem and came to the virus.
It will happen the same for DDoS.
