+LOIC - the Low Orbit Ion Cannon
+
+LOIC is an open source network attack application, written in C#. 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.
