Is loic or low orbit ion cannon legal in Utah?

Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) is a tool that is used to perform distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. DDoS attacks are illegal in most jurisdictions, including Utah. According to Utah Code § 76-6-101, a person is guilty of computer hacking if he or she knowingly gains access to any computer that the person knows is restricted or protected without the permission of the owner of the computer. A DDoS attack involves gaining unauthorized access to a computer network and using that network to launch an attack on another computer network. Therefore, using LOIC to perform a DDoS attack is likely to be considered computer hacking under Utah law.
