it’s called Gatekeeper, and you think it’s a project hosted on github for DDoSing people?
Comment on Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group?

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target
Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today
Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes
The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.
I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful

What you're talking about has existed for decades at this point. Most grey/black hat forums rightfully ban collective ddos tools when they see them. Turns out that the difference between duplicating a copyrighted work, and actively attacking a private server are vastly different, legally speaking, and get prosecuted a lot more forcefully when found.

Not sure if this is a joke, but if not this software is to help protect *against* ddos attacks, not for running them 😂

The title also had me confused.
