LOIC SETUP GUIDE
HIVEMIND mode will connect your client to an IRC server so it can be controlled
remotely. Think of it like a voluntary botnet. They might even make your client
do naughty things, so beware.
Note: It does NOT allow remote administration of your machine, or anything
like that, it is just control of LOIC itself.
Windows
1. Download MS .NET Framework 3.5 and install it.
2. Download Hivemind LOIC and unzip it to your desktop.
3. Start LOIC with the LOIC.EXE
4. Server: loic.AnonOps.net
5. Channel: #loic
6. Select "hivemind mode"
7. Sit back and watch the show
MAC/Linux
JavaLOIC for MAC (no hivemind feature): Download
* Launch JavaLOIC
* Enter Target URL or IP and click LOCK ON
* join #setup on IRC for target info and settings (TCP and rest on defualt is usually best)
With HiveMind feature (Mono or Wine):
* Mono Guide
* Wine Guide
Install script for Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora: View
Run the script from terminal.
Settings:
* Server: loic.AnonOps.net
* Channel: #loic
* Select "hivemind mode"
* Sit back and watch the show
Go through the above steps 2-3 times if you can't get it working.
If you still can't fix it; Join #Setup for Win/Nix or #nubbintank for MACs, and ask.
Guide to get on IRC to the right side ------->
FAQ
* Is LOIC infected with a virus? NO, your AV gives a false positive. Disable your AV. The source code is included in the download to prove this.
* Will I get caught/arrested for using it? Chances are next to zero. Just blame you have a virus, or simply deny any knowledge of it.
* LOIC cant connect; Turn off MSE or your Firewall. Still no go; On IRC, type /map and choose a different server.
* Requests stuck? Target is down, KEEP FIRING TO KEEP IT DOWN
* Who/What is the target; Set LOIC on HIVEMIND mode or join #setup on IRC and ask.
* What settings should I use? Join the HIVEMIND or leave it at default w/ TCP.
* What is (D)DOS?
* What is a botnet?
* How do I get a botnet? No.
