GrouchySmurf is a Mac port of the well known ICMP broadcast attack, also known as Smurf.
GrouchySmurf was the first release of a ICMP broadcast attack port for the macintosh.

An ICMP broadcast attack is a strong type of Denial of Service and is illegal. It should only be used against your own networks to test for vulnerable routers and for DDoS vulnerability.

This software can be used for good uses (personal testing of your own servers vulnerabilities, etc) or bad uses (flooding someone off the net, causing bsod's (blue screen of death), crashing the machine, slowing down servers, etc).
