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. + +WARNING: + +We are not responsible for the use that you give to this tool. You cannot blame +us if you use this tool to attack servers you don't own and get caught. This +script is released for educational purposes only. |
