A friend and I were discusing the possible uses of the bittorrent network in DDOS's. It could be a very massive botnet if you advertised popular files with the targets ip address and target service. In the most recent version of azerus I noticed that the default settings ignore clients that advertise on ports "0;25;135;139". For instance if I falsely advertise: HTTP, RDP, SIP, VNC ports and the victims ip address and loaded my client with very popular hashes... I would think this would overburden most small medium businesses without having to own or buy a botnet. comments? -Jason Ellison ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps?
