## What it is
UA Cyber SHIELD is a volunteer cybersecurity tool built during the Russian invasion of Ukraine that coordinates distributed denial-of-service attacks against targets selected by a central coordination server. It ships as an Electron desktop app, a headless CLI, and Docker images, and the project has since been discontinued and archived.

## Use cases
- join a coordinated volunteer cyber defense network
- run a headless attack client in docker with configurable worker threads
- deploy the tool on a raspberry pi or via ansible
- automatically fetch and rotate attack targets from a coordination center

## When to choose
- you specifically want to participate in this historical volunteer campaign's infrastructure
- you need a ready-made distributed request-flooding client with central target coordination

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported security tool - the project is archived and unused for years
- you want lawful penetration testing or defensive security tooling
- you cannot accept the legal and ethical risks of participating in coordinated denial-of-service attacks
