<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Concur 100%, this is indeed a 'booter'. It's likely a criminal enterprise; note that it's illegal in most jurisdictions to send attack traffic beyond the borders of one's own network, and that it also violates
AUPs of most intermediate transit networks in the path.<br>
<br>
I strongly urge folks *not* to use services of this nature, because doing so is a) illegal, b) potentially very harmful, c) will attract the attention of miscreants towards both whoever pays and whoever is targeted, and d) funds criminals.<br>
<br>
There are legal, safe ways to test resilience to DDoS attacks; but using a service of this type isn't among them.<br>
