Low Orbit Ion Cannon: DDOS Attack Tool?

Hi, Steemitians! I am going to share about a ddos tool which comes pre-installed with Kali.
Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is another popular tool for DoS attacks.

Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is a network stress testing tool, meaning it is designed to test how much traffic a target can handle for planning future resource expectations. The software has inspired other similar software such as JavaScript, LOIC, which allows a user to do stress testing directly from a web browser.

The first type of DoS is Physical Attack. This type of attack is very basic and it is in the base of radio interferences which can be created even from cordless phones that operate in 2.4 GHz range.

Another type is Network DoS Attack. As the Wireless Access Point creates a shared medium, it offers the possibility to flood the traffic of this medium toward the AP which will make its processing more slow toward the clients that attempt to connect. Such attacks can be created just by a ping flood DoS attack.
