It's a script that "crapflood[s] the fucking shit out of a Slashcode
site", it is actually historically significant because there was quite
an uproar about it at the time, and the project got deleted off
sourceforge ( the same people who own slashdot). Though hosting it on
source might not proove good for the project.
I dont think that it can flood slashdot sites anymore, they must have
fixed the voulnerability after the initial relese.

don't have the technical expertise to evaluate what User:Goat-see (a
suspicious name?) has done, but it looks like a program for sending out
some kind of vandalism or virus on a large scale. If so, we need to
consider what to do with this kind of thing, but first I would like a
more informed opinion of just what that piece of source code does.
