LOIC - the Low Orbit Ion Cannon
LOIC is an open source network attack application, written in C#. LOIC was
initially developed by Praetox Technologies, but later it was released into the
public domain
LOIC performs a denial-of-service (DoS) attack (or when used by multiple
individuals, a DDoS attack) on a target site by flooding the server with TCP
packets, UDP packets, or HTTP requests with the intention of disrupting the
service of a particular host. People have used LOIC to join voluntary botnets.
This SlackBuild simply builds a package from the binaries. If you would like
to build it from source, you might want to consider loiq.
mono is needed to run LOIC:
mono /opt/LOIC/LOIC.exe
A handy script /usr/bin/loic and a basic desktop integration file have been
included for ease of use.
