(Never heard that term before...) Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is an open source network
stress testing and denial-of-service attack application
[...]
LOIC performs a denial-of-service (DoS) attack (or when
used by multiple individuals, a DDoS attack) on a target
site by flooding the server with TCP packets or UDP
packets with the intention of disrupting the service of a
particular host. People have used LOIC to join voluntary
botnets.
