Well, let's see...if Windows XP is released in its current form with full
raw sockets, IP spoofing will be able to be done by any relatively bright 13
year old with an understanding of Windows - DoS attacks will become
routine - most websites will experience one - and what about the
possibilities for online fraud? A local police force just broke up an
online scam where goods offered for sale on eBay were never delivered but
the money orders sent to pay for them were cashed - and most of the aliased
email addresses for the scam were accessed from a computer at a local high
school. If I were a law enforcement officer, I'd be very scared about
this...
