Which DoS tool is described as a network stress and DoS/DDoS attack application?

• A. DLP
• B. LOIC
• C. HOIC
• D. WIP

Answer: (C)

High Orbit Ion Cannon is described as a network stress testing tool that also serves as a DoS/DDoS attack application. It’s built to flood targets with HTTP requests and, importantly, uses booster scripts to amplify the attack, letting it scale to large traffic volumes and even target multiple sites at once. That combination of a built-in network stress capability with a clear focus on DoS/DDoS activity is what makes HOIC the best match. LOIC does similar flooding but is a simpler, older tool without the booster mechanism that amplifies power; DLP and WIP aren’t DoS tools, so they don’t fit this description.
