Interesting..

there's an ED about LOIC

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/LOIC

it even gives a instruction on how to deny the use of the tool: (funny)

What if I get caught and V&d?
You probably won't. It's recommended that attack with over 9000 other
anons while attacking alone pretty much means doing nothing. If you
are a complete idiot and LOIC a small server alone, there is a chance
of getting V&. No one will bother let alone have the resources to deal
with DDoS attacks that happens every minute around the world. Then
theres always the botnet excuse. Just say your pc was infected by a
botnet and you have since ran antivirus programs and what not to try
to get rid of it. Or just say you have NFI what a DDoS is at all.
PROTIP: If you do get V&: ALWAYS deny it, Explain it was botnet, Say
you have dynamic IP and that they have the wrong guy. Also, epic lolz
will be achieved because you are a fag. DDOS ONLY IN GROUPS

LOIC makes no attempt to hide the IP addresses of the attackers, making it easy to trace them if they are using their 
own computers.
