The collective of hackers who made ​​headlines during the holidays after attacking the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, and then said to have "slightly" put his hand to the dough for the Sony hack, now has the objective monetize all his work. Lizard Squad launched a service named LizardStresser that can be used by anyone to launch DDoS attacks.

Considered a "boot" LizardStresser is a service you can subscribe monthly or lifetime. There is a certain number of bids available that can be used to perform a stress test ("stress test") on a particular server, and this for a few minutes to several hours.

Once this "stress test" is over, and no extra charge, you will be able to carry out an attack, provided you are in the same billing cycle. With monthly fees ranging from 2.99 dollars to 69.99 dollars , and subscriptions to life costing between $ 29.99 and $ 309.99 dollars is something very affordable and some might abuse it.

Of course, LizardStresser tool is not directly marketed as a weapon of DDoS. Glancing at operating conditions - yes, even a DDoS tool such thing - we are told that: "it is worth noting the servers and networks must belong to you. This is an opportunity to hone your firewall " .

In addition, the tool can not be used to "intentionally send a flood of DDoS to an IP address that does not belong to you" . All clear? Perfect then!

LizardStresser was launched on Twitter facing a wave of interest, and the group s' was quick to praise the power of attacks that could be launched. Lizard Squad has already mentioned that his goal is simply to highlight safety issues, and terms of services are going in this direction.

But in reality, it is difficult to claim that it is other than a lease of DDoS attacks available to anyone who is close to spending hundreds of euros.
