| ## HIVEMIND/HIDDEN MODE
 | |
| 
 | |
| HIVEMIND mode will connect your client to an IRC server so it can be controlled remotely.
 | |
| Think of this as a voluntary botnet. Please be aware that your client can potentially be
 | |
| made to do naughty things.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note: It does NOT allow remote administration of your machine; it 
 | |
| just providees control of LOIC itself.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you want to start up in Hivemind mode, run something such as this:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	LOIC.exe /hivemind irc.server.address
 | |
| ```
 | |
| which will connect to irc://irc.server.adress:6667/loic
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can also specify a port and channel:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	LOIC.exe /hivemind irc.server.address 1234 #secret
 | |
| ```
 | |
| which will connect to irc://irc.server.adress:1234/secret
 | |
| 
 | |
| In order to run Hivemind Hidden mode, run something such as this:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	LOIC.exe /hidden /hivemind irc.server.address
 | |
| ```
 | |
| which will connect to irc://irc.server.adress:6667/loic without any visible GUI.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## CONTROLLING LOIC FROM IRC
 | |
| 
 | |
| As an OP, Admin or Owner, set the channel topic or send a message such as the following:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	!lazor targetip=127.0.0.1 message=test_test port=80 method=tcp wait=false random=true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To start an attack, type:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	!lazor start
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| or append "start" to the END of the topic:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	!lazor targetip=127.0.0.1 message=test_test port=80 method=tcp wait=false random=true start
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To reset LOIC's options back to their defaults:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	!lazor default
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To stop an attack:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	!lazor stop
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| and **be sure to remove "start" from the END of the topic**, if it exists, as well.
