The original website displayed the [[Goatse]] image as its background, and then would open several new browser windows displaying one or more shock images, which were either pornographic images including [[Tubgirl]], [[Lemon Party]], etc, or horrifying medical photographs taken from Wikipedia, along with an extremely loud looped audio of a man screaming "''HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!''" to alert people near you. A script on the website would also try to use the "mailto" and "callto" functions with the intent to cause the viewer's computer to freeze.

Some people claim that Last Measure contains actual malware, though this claim is false, as the script of the website doesn't download any kind of software on the viewer's device, and the site can be closed by using Task Manager or by resetting the affected computer. Some web browsers including Internet Explorer and other IE-based browsers may handle the website very poorly and may cause the entire device to crash.

A few versions use a script called 'StatsMeasure,' which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online. Later versions of Last Measure used a Java applet called 'CoffeeMeasure' which spawns several Java application windows that move around the screen. The Unified X version of Last Measure contains a montage of shock images, including images from [[The Pain Series]] and other images from various shock sites. Additionally, an external link to a mirror was added to the [[Offended]] page on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]].
