DDOS: Low Orbit Ion Cannon Webpage Traffic

This signature detects HTTP requests generated by the web-page version of the Low Orbit Ion Cannon, a URL-flooding tool. This signature is to be used to protect web servers from LOIC requests, and therefore should be placed at the DMZ border between your organization's web servers and the Internet at large to filter in-bound requests. This signature should NOT be used to filter outbound client requests.
