After the program "/tmp/.bugtraq" starts running, it becomes a member of a
virtual network. Network members comunicate using UDP port 2002.
The program can, when instructed (using udp port 2002):
- Execute arbitrary commands on the machines
- Route messages to other machines in the virtual network
- Execute Tcp flood attacks
- IPv6 Tcp flood
- Dns flood attacks
- Email scan ("Search in every machine file for emain addresses")
- etc....
In 3 dias, about 1500 diferent IP address tried to contact my machine at
UDP port 2002. Fortunally i have iptables configured.

the "/tmp/.bugtraq.c" file.
/**************************************************************************

*
* Peer-to-peer UDP Distributed Denial of Service
(PUD) *
* by
contem@efnet *
*
*
* Virtually connects computers via the udp protocol on
the *
* specified port. Uses a newly created peer-to-peer protocol
that *
* incorperates uses on unstable or dead computers. The program
is *
* ran with the parameters of another ip on the virtual network.
If *
* running on the first computer, run with the ip 127.0.0.1 or
some *
* other type of local address.
Ex: *
*
*
* Computer A: ./program
127.0.0.1 *
* Computer B: ./program
Computer_A *
* Computer C: ./program
Computer_A *
* Computer D: ./program
Computer_C *
*
*
* Any form of that will work. The linking process works
by *
* giving each computer the list of avaliable computers,
then *
* using a technique called broadcast segmentation combined with
TCP *
* like functionality to insure that another computer on the
network *
* receives the broadcast packet, segments it again and
recreates *
* the packet to send to other hosts. That technique can be used
to *
* support over 16 million simutaniously connected
computers. *
*
*
* Thanks to ensane and st for donating shells and test
beds *
* for this program. And for the admins who removed me because
I *
* was testing this program (you know who you are) need to
watch *
* their
backs. *
*
*
* I am not responsible for any harm caused by this
program! *
* I made this program to demonstrate peer-to-peer communication
and *
* should not be used in real life. It is an education program
that *
* should never even be ran at all, nor used in any way, shape
or *
* form. It is not the authors fault if it was used for any
purposes *
* other than
educational. *
