	== Content ==		==Content==
	The site contains a picture of a man with a cactus inserted inside his anus, with a small drop of semen coming out of his penis. The website ~~embeds a~~ [[~~Adobe Flash Player\|~~Flash]] file ~~called "~~out.swf" to ~~open~~ an endless ~~amount~~ of tabs ~~and play an extremely loud version of the song~~ "~~The Cadillac Theory~~" ~~by [[wikipedia:Stupeflip\|Stupeflip]]~~.		The site contains a picture of a man with a cactus inserted inside his anus, with a small drop of semen coming out of his penis. The malicious [[website]] exploits an automated script along with an embedded [[Flash]] file named out.swf to flood the victim's browser with an endless number of tabs.<ref name="jxflux2">jvflux.fr/Screamer_Cactus</ref>

	The ~~page utilizes~~ a [[wikipedia:JavaScript\|JavaScript]] ~~function called caca~~ to ~~display an alert with~~ the ~~text "CAACACAAA" (caca means "poop" in French), which calls itself recursively. Another JavaScript function, full, attempts~~ to ~~put~~ the ~~browser into full-screen mode~~. ~~It also uses~~ [[wikipedia:CSS\|CSS]] styling to ~~make~~ the cursor ~~invisible~~.		Once opened, the malicious web pages performed the following actions:

			*It played the first 28 seconds of the song "The Cadillac Theory" by [[wikipedia:Stupeflip\|Stupeflip]]. in a continuous, heavily distorted audio loop.
			*Triggered [[wikipedia:JavaScript\|JavaScript]] fullscreen mode to hide browser controls and hinder the user's ability to close the tabs.
			*Applied [[wikipedia:CSS\|CSS]] styling to hide the mouse cursor, making it more difficult to interact with or close the window easily.

			The code functioned identically to [[Last Measure]].<ref name="jxflux2" /> For example, the page utilized a recursive [[wikipedia:JavaScript\|JavaScript]] function named caca (French for "poop") that repeatedly spawned alert boxes containing the text "CAACACAAA" effectively freezing the browser.
	==History==		==History==
	~~During the summer of~~ 2012, Screamer Cactus ~~gained notoriety due to its usage in~~ [[Twitter]] ~~raids~~. In early 2016, a small team of people ~~went~~ to [[wikipedia:~~Twitch_(service)~~\|Twitch]] to ~~trick streamers into opening~~ the ~~website~~ during ~~livestreams~~.		Following its release in 2012, Screamer Cactus was quickly adopted for raids on [[wikipedia:Twitter\|Twitter]]. The tool is widely believed to have been influenced by Blabla 15-18 ans ("15-18 years [old]"),<ref>jvflux.fr/Blabla_15-18_ans</ref> a notorious raid group from jeuxvideo.com once the most active forum on the French web, and by some accounts, in Europe.

			By early 2016, a small elite team began roaming [[wikipedia:Twitch\|Twitch]] to use "Cactus Screamers" during livestreams. This team eventually grew and laid the groundwork for Twitch Booster, a malicious variant of ''Screamer Cactus''. On April 8, 2016, a streamer named Takeru_46 opened the Screamer Cactus during one of his livestreams. The page stayed open on the broadcast for over four minutes before he managed to close it.<ref name="jxflux2" />

			The first URL created for Screamer Cactus was ''0xad.net/cactus'', named after the creator's alias, 0xad. During 2012, it was temporarily hosted on the ''ownage.fr'' [[website]] managed by Unifiedlinux which helped further publicize it until April 28, 2013. Other forum users subsequently created alternate domains that redirected to the original site. Most notably, KebabFries registered a domain named after his own screamer website Noelshack.com.free.fr specifically mimicking a typo ([[Noelshack.comm.free.fr]] missing an m) which redirected visitors straight to 0xad's URL.<ref name="jxflux2" />
			==Cactus Note==
			The Cactus Note was a "notebook" and urban legend originating from the 18-25 group during the "War Forum." According to jvflux.fr, whoever possesses it gains the terrifying power to curse anyone simply by recording their online handle. Cactus Note was essentially a parody of [[wikipedia:Death Note\|Death Note]], except the rules dictate that if a handle remains on the page for more than forty seconds, the unfortunate soul is doomed to be startled by the ''Screamer Cactus'' in real life.<ref>jvflux.fr/Cactus_Note</ref>
			==Twitch Booster==
			[[File:Twitch Booster.png\|thumb\|right\|One and only destructive ''Twitch Booster'' mid-payload.]]
			''Twitch Booster'' was a destructive piece of malware created between 2016 and 2017. It was made by the Jewstice<ref name="malwiki">https://web.archive.org/web/20220617003459/https://malwiki.org/index.php?title=Twitch_Booster</ref> of 18-25 forum, a group succeeding the 15-18. It lures people by masquerading as a growth tool designed to "boost" their [[wikipedia:Twitch\|Twitch]] or [[YouTube]] channels. Once executed, the software immediately displayed annoying pop-ups of ''Screamer Cactus'' and initiated several other payloads, ultimately rendering the user's computer completely unbootable. Twitch Booster was sometimes referred to as the Risitas virus or the 18-25 virus.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=uydlQWo3GGQ</ref><ref name="jvflux">jvflux.fr/Twitch_Booster</ref><ref>youtube.com/watch?v=tbzclguVPLg&t=2s</ref>

			Upon launch on granted administrator privileges, the malware begins a fake installation process accompanied by a 60-second waiting period during which mouse clicks were intentionally reversed. Simultaneously, a [[wikipedia:Microsoft\|Microsoft]] text-to-speech voice declared in [[wikipedia:French\|French]]:<ref name="malwiki" /><ref name="jvflux" />

			"''Hello, I'm just the little voice that tells you that 18-25 has just destroyed your PC forever. Have fun fixing it, very happy. Dedicated to the kheys of 18-25.''"<ref name="malwiki" /> (Dans 5 minutes tu n'as plus de PC fils de viol, le 18-25 t'a bien baiser le cul :))

			Following this, a secondary payload unleashed a relentless flood of message boxes titled "The Elite of the Nation," each displaying the text: "THE 18-25 FUCKED YOU WELL THE ASS OF A BIG SON OF A BITCH." (LE 18-25 T'A BIEN BAISER LE FION PUTAIN DE GROS FILS DE PUTE) As the message boxes appears, the virus silently stripped critical system files from the [[wikipedia:C: drive\|C: drive]] and triggered a five-minute countdown timer. A separate warning flashed: "In 5 minutes you no longer have a PC son of rape, the 18-25 fucked you well the ass:)" (Dans 5 minutes tu n'as plus de PC fils de viol, le 18-25 t'a bien baiser le cul :)) During this window, automated scripts spawned countless browser tabs, filling the display with ''Screamer Cactus''.<ref name="malwiki" /><ref name="jvflux" />
