What Is LOIC?

LOIC ("Low Orbit Ion Cannon") is an application developed by hackers —when used in masse by thousands of anonymous users—launch Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on websites.

LOIC basically turns your computer's network connection into a firehose of garbage requests, directed towards a target web server. On its own, one computer rarely generates enough TCP, UDP, or HTTP requests at once to overwhelm a web server—garbage requests can easily ignored while legit requests for web pages are responded to as normal.

But when thousands of users run LOIC at once, the wave of requests become overwhelming, often shutting a web server (or one of its connected machines, like a database server) down completely, or preventing legitimate requests from being answered.

Because a DDoS knocks everything offline—at least when it works as intended—the log files that would normally record each incoming connection typically just don't work. And even if they do,many LOIC users claim that another user was on their network or that their machine was part of a bot net—a DDoS client delivered by virus that performs like a hivemind LOIC, minus the computer owner actually knowing they are participating.

How To Launch Dos Attack Using LOIC:

1.Download LoIc From Here:

2.Run the Loic.exe to see a screen like this:

3.Then enter the URL and Press Lock-On

4.In Attack Options: Enter any number of threads you want LOIC to use. The number of threads refers to the number of virtual computers, LOIC will try to immitate.Select a method that is TCP,UDP or HTTP

(Other settings need not to be altered)

5.Then press "IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER" and the attack is started...(you can also see the attack status easily)
