A few years ago, while perusing alt.2600, I came
across a mail bomb program. This was quite simple to
use, it asked for a "To" address, a "Supposedly from"
email address, and the number of mails to send (10,000
would seem a convenient number) - IIRC, there was a
way to attach a file - a meg of core dump would
probably do! The program worked from the UNIX command
line. I havn't been able to find the program again,
but if bo keeps it up, I will look further :).
alt.2600, like most other usenet newsgroups these
days, seems to have been taken over by spammers and
political wingnut ranters.
Please please please do *not* do this. In the first place it's illegal
in a lot of jurisdictions. In the second place, consider the possible
consequences; if you can find this program then so can Bo/Lisbet (or one
of their non-senile friends - see below). They could "bomb" each and
every one of us. In the third place, if you read this list properly
you'll discover that Mr. Mike Scott has been in touch with the ISP
concerned and found out that the person responsible is some senile old
gent who probably can't understand the instructions to unsubscribe himself.
No, just create a filter/rule that dumps messages from Bo/Lisbet into
the great bit bucket in the sky.
Please.
