Anyone that doesn't want to unintentionally DDOS infrastructure should probably not click any non news links posted on HN these days.

  Was that warning not strong enough - perhaps I shouldn't have posted the link at all but I thought it was technically interesting that a tool was developed that even the laity could use simply by loading a web page.

    It's not clear at all from your comment that opening the URL would immediately engage my computer in an attempted attack. I really would have liked an explicit warning. The JS on the page actually froze my browser; I had to force-quit it, turn off my wifi, and then open it again to be able to close the tab.

    No it wasn't. I only realized after reading the description on the website itself. I'm on a break at work, and it feels funky to have this website doing its thing from here.
