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.

Could someone please look at http://wikisource.org/wiki/Shitstorm . I 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.
