Lizard Squad, the hacker group best known for attacking Microsofts Xbox Live and Sonys PlayStation Network, has now launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack tool. In other words, anyone can now take down the website or online service of their choice thanks to Lizard Stresser, which were not linking to for obvious reasons.

A DDoS attack is a common method for taking down a server by overloading it with requests. The end goal is to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users.

Welcome to LizardStresser, brought to you by Lizard Squad, reads the tools introduction page. This booter is famous for taking down some of the worlds largest gaming networks such as XBOX Live, Playstation Network, Jagex, BattleNet, League of Legends and many more! With this stresser, you wield the power to launch some of the Worlds largest denial of service attacks.

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).

Money and infamy.

Savantcore · Dec 30, 2014

Yes, let's keep talking about them.

CoG · Dec 30, 2014

Disrupting a business for profit is a great way to end up in Club Fed and getting sued for millions. Dumb kids.

LTWood12 · Dec 30, 2014

It's pretty nuts that it's this easy.

MCN · Dec 30, 2014

Can we all chip in and use it to take down Lizard Squad?

Tabby · Dec 30, 2014

Why is there yet another thread on these tossers?

xemumanic · Dec 30, 2014

Someone should DDoS the site.

Stranya · Dec 30, 2014

Surely their 15min of fame must be nearly up?

Krakn3Dfx · Dec 30, 2014

One can hope this makes it easier for the authorities to track these shitbags down.

LiK · Dec 30, 2014

I'm sure that "tool" won't take over your PC and steal your shit. Please use it, dummies.

ovii · Dec 30, 2014

I wonder who would trust handing over their CC to LS.

vazel · Dec 30, 2014

Stuff like this has already existed, they're called booters.

Oneself · Dec 30, 2014

Wow. We're fucked.

kenta · Dec 30, 2014

I assume installing their tool means you're voluntarily joining your PC to their botnet?

jwk94 · Dec 30, 2014

Would be interesting to see if anyone actually buys into this.

Because it's news?

It's always been this easy. It's just a script that sends a command to a botnet. It's the new LOIC.

NYCmetsfan · Dec 30, 2014

Isn't it when the money starts flowing these people get caught?

The FBI has even caught people that were using bitcoin. Like the silk road guy

giancarlo123x · Dec 30, 2014

These guys sound like they live a great life in their basements.

Marcel · Dec 30, 2014

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.

McDougles · Dec 30, 2014

Suspiciously filenamed "Lostboy.exe," right?

Altered Juice · Dec 30, 2014

psn is fucked!

Escalario · Dec 30, 2014

Here we go again.

tinytoon · Dec 30, 2014

So now we DDOS Lizard Squad, right?

koutoru · Dec 30, 2014

Now everyone can be script kiddies.

Kinsei · Dec 30, 2014

Give us totally trustworthy "hackers" your money please!

No one is going to fall for this, will they?

Most likely, greed and that one time when they slip (they always slip)

How can they withdraw from PayPal anyway if there real bank details are tied to a real bank account

Makes me wonder which country these guys are in

hydruxo · Dec 30, 2014

This sounds like a great way to finally catch these idiots tbh. Hope the FBI gets on the ball now.

Wanchan · Dec 30, 2014

Off-Topic?

Averon · Dec 30, 2014

Who is stupid enough to download and run some .exe file from a shady hacker group that has shown they are morally bankrupt?

Bitcoins wasn't the reason why he got caught.

chadskin · Dec 30, 2014

Console war on a whole new level.

system11 · Dec 30, 2014

It's probably time for Sony to block the entire of China.

ComputerMKII · Dec 30, 2014

"Actually, it's about security of online console networks."

People pay for term papers, lottery tickets, and pre-orders. Never doubt impressionable people with an expendable income.

RoboPlato · Dec 30, 2014

Can someone use it to DDoS the site they're hosting to sign up for it?

I know I'm just saying that its not some kind of magic fullproof protection they have to turn that into cash to spend it.

Bloodrage · Dec 30, 2014

Trying it on cia.gov brb.

LilJoka · Dec 30, 2014

Sounds like they are giving access to VPS's

TheSlySoul · Dec 30, 2014

Someone should buy a prepaid card, make up info, and use it to DDOS their own website.

Sephzilla · Dec 30, 2014

Wait, are they seriously trying to make money off of this? Wouldn't this lead to traceable ways to track down these kids?

LOL this would be amazingly fitting

One would think once they started giving video interviews to the media would be the time they would be caught.....

FyreWulff · Dec 30, 2014

It's basically the AOL punter program for 2014

There's an abundance of cryptocurrency out there so probably not.

Slayven · Dec 30, 2014

Is this like that low earth orbit tool that allowed little kids to click and hack?
