First I would like to say it would have been nice if the author of this
"bug" report had contacted me so I could tell him how to properly configure
NukeNabber.

You must set the option to "ignore" or close a port or you can flood the
display.
As you can see below, when set up properly it works fine and cannot be
flooded.

By default Nukenabber listens on port 19(udp) for connections, and gathers
information on the source address...

If we send binary zero's to it this is what we get

*sends binary zeros*
nc <target> 19 -u < /dev/zero

*this appears on nukenabber*

As we can see, it cannot see where the data is coming from... In the past I
have done tests and sent large amounts of data to this udp port and caused
nukenabber to crash and sometimes lock up the system.
