Which tool can attack up to 256 target URLs simultaneously?

• A. LOIC
• B. AnDOSid
• C. High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC)
• D. Packets Generator

Answer: (C)

The capability being tested is multi-target flooding: which tool is built to overwhelm many sites at once. High Orbit Ion Cannon stands out here because it was designed to flood multiple targets in a single run by using boosters and a list of sites, allowing up to 256 different URLs to be attacked simultaneously. This multi-target approach is what makes it different from the others. LOIC is the original tool that typically targets a single URL per session, so it doesn’t provide the same multi-site capability. AnDOSid focuses on specific targets but doesn’t offer the same broad multi-site flood feature. Packets Generator performs general packet floods and isn’t structured to coordinate 256 distinct target URLs in one operation.
