This handy little flooder is capable of sending very high amounts of UDP data over your connection to a host. This will result in the host that is being flooded replying with a large amount of ICMP packets. Eventually causing a Denial of Service attack against your target. A problem with this type of attack is that the host your attacking is replying to your IP address with all this ICMP traffic. You can block it in your firewall to make the attack more effective.
As with any attack designed to cause a Denial of Service it is always much better to be on a faster connection than the host your attacking. So attacking, lets say google.com is pointless with just one user. But you can for example:-
Say you have a few people you know on "XBOX LIVE", you can get their IP addresses (this is covered else were on STING IT) and hit certain ports on their connection to cause them a massive ping time out.
But more recently with the emergence of "anonymous" it is becoming more frequent that groups of similar minded people are involving themselves in large scale Denial of Service attacks.
