China hacking video shows glimpse of Falun Gong attack tool

The clip shows up without explanation, lasting for about six seconds during a rather mundane documentary about hacking produced by the state-sponsored China Central Television

The video appears to give a peek at a state-sponsored hacking tool used to disrupt the operations of a spiritual movement that the government of China considers a threat to its authority. The video does not explain where the tool comes from. With a few clicks, the on-screen computer fires up a custom-built attack program, apparently giving the user a way to knock out any one of a range of websites affiliated with the movement, Falun Gong.
