Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is an open-source network stress testing and denial-of-service attack application written in C#.LOIC was initially developed by Praetox Technologies, however it was later released into the public domain [2] and is currently available on several open-source platforms.
The malicious code is known to be in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases of the XZ Utils software package. The exploit remains dormant unless a specific third-party patch of the SSH server is used. Under the right circumstances this interference could potentially enable a malicious actor to break sshd authentication and gain unauthorized access to the ...
The trinoo or trin00 is a set of computer programs to conduct a DDoS attack.
