The FBI didn't get Lizard Squad when they issued bomb threats against a plane carrying a Sony representative. What makes you think this site will change the current situation?

LOL.

What a bunch of shitlords.

Aurongel · Dec 30, 2014

There are free tools that do this already. It wouldn't surprise me if this tool enabled other machines to use yours for their own DDoS attacks. I'd love to see a security expert analyze how this thing operates.

Also, those of you who are interested should check out the Low Orbit Ion Cannon.

naeS · Dec 30, 2014

Now people who get banned can use this to attack us.

Klyka · Dec 30, 2014

Well guys, i just bought this.

Every NeoGAF user has to send me 4.99$ a month or else I take GAF down forever.

Your call!

orava · Dec 30, 2014

This is pretty hilarious tbh.

How the fuck have these kids not been arrested yet? Amazing.

$5? Certainly you are worth more. I think you have a self-image problem if you think you can't get more than that for a ransom.

Get some confidence.

Alcoholikaust · Dec 30, 2014

Welp- guess I wont be going online anytime soon :/

Arthr2ShdsJcksn · Dec 30, 2014

There are eight packages available, ranging from $5.99 monthly (for taking down a site for 100 seconds) to $129.99 monthly (for taking down a site for 30,000 seconds, or over 8 hours). There are also lifetime options that are one-time fees ranging from $29.99 to $500 (the page notes this actually means five years, because thats apparently how long the tool will exist for).

This shit is funny to me.

Seik · Dec 30, 2014

Oh well, like there weren't enough dumb shits like that already.

Well I wanted to be reasonable cause I still need people to write stuff here so i can read it at work.

5.99$?

Vamphuntr · Dec 30, 2014

They're going to make a ton of money from wannabe "hackers", Hilarious that in 2015 it's that easy to take down websites.

Make a professional list of demands and a manifesto. I think you'll be able to ask for $10 even.

SmokedMeat · Dec 30, 2014

Ok, so someone makes a payment and the money is traced?

AkuMifune · Dec 30, 2014

Someone pay them to hack themselves.

Fitts · Dec 30, 2014

The article claims that it's the boy been used 3 times since it's been up. Reminds me of that scene in the Dark Knight where the boats of convicts and civilians both opt out of the social experiment and Batman lectures Joker about how everyone isn't as ugly as he is. (or something to that effect)

HappehLemons · Dec 30, 2014

This is getting kind of funny now.

Good luck tracking private cryptocurrency transactions.

It's still ~ $731,000 per month at $4.99.

I actually agree. I read this thread title and just LOL'd. And they're charging money for it. The best/worst part is that I know it's going to make them money.

Poodlestrike · Dec 30, 2014

So... they launched a paid version of the HOIC?

They did (well Finnish Authorities), the kid went to jail for 3 months.

Edit: Revealed: the young men who ruined Christmas for Xbox and PlayStation gamers

Wrong Article here's the one that says it I think: The FBI is allegedly investigating Lizard Squad over Xbox Live, PSN attacks

It has to be traceable.

MarshMellow96 · Dec 30, 2014

Is this on Early Access or what?

Sephzilla · Dec 30, 2014

I'm willing to bet its traceable.

Be careful iwata......

Yeah, uh, if you think "they" can easily track international cryptocurrency transactions, you probably think hacking is >Send spike >Spike sent.

If the feds won't make a real effort to go after them for grounding a plane, they're not gonna go after their Dogecoins.

AmuroChan · Dec 30, 2014

So this is how they keep their promise of never attacking XBL and PSN again. They'll just provide the tools so other people can do it.

It says on their TOS that you cannot use it to DDOS any server associated with Lizard Stresser. #sadface

Sianos · Dec 30, 2014

Its been a while since I delved into the details of cryptocurrencies, but I remember some form of tracking was used when Silk Road was busted.

Another example of the fine, young capitalists of America. The system works!

CosmicQueso · Dec 30, 2014

If true, this is a very bad thing.

And just lol at people who think if we stop talking about them they'll just go away.

You need to read up on crypto currency if you think it's that trivial. There's a reason Silk Road operated on cryptocurrency.

I'm curious if they actually hardcoded in a way to prevent that, and how easy it would be circumvent the script kiddies handiwork...

BokehKing · Dec 30, 2014

And twitter continues to let this happen

Portugeezer · Dec 30, 2014

How would this work? These things tend to be done underground, I don't see it being too successful if they're making it publicly available.

Nice scam I suppose.

Oppo · Dec 30, 2014

Marcel said:
When script kiddies sell a service to take down other paid services, you are reminded that you really are living in a state of late-stage capitalism.

Heh. That's well put.

I do wonder if we will see more "white hat" script kiddie type tools appearing. like imagine if you could dedicate your computer to fighting off a DDoS or other type of attack, somehow.

cannot or should not? there's always a loophole...

I'm pretty sure you could find a bash script that does this for free on github or stackoverflow

GnawtyDog · Dec 30, 2014

Business 101.

Build a reputation.
Gain a lot of publicity.
Release a product to your target market.

There is new gridlock in Washington over how to address LizardSquard. Kill a successful start-up, making new jobs or, allow it to flourish?
