E-Mail Bomb

[TurboJunky]

Anyone have a good windows email bomb program??...or a link to download one?

 

[striker_29]

Hmm, there used to be several good ones from what "I hear". Look for Avalanche, or Up yours.

E-mail boming = LAME

<rant>

I am a member of the computer security community. I do not know why you want to E-mail bomb someone, but let me say this:

When you do this you cause a great deal of damage to the ISP's mail server. This can constitute a DoS attack and is a FEDERAL FELONY. It WILL not only get you busted, you will look like an a**.

Thanks, but I didn't say I wanted to email bomb anyone.

E-mail bombing in and of itself isn't a federal crime, just look at the unsuccessful attempts to outlaw SPAM at the federal level...no go so far. Who here hasn't been blasted with a mailbox full of unwanted/unsolicited email? A denial of service (DoS) attack must significant enough to show a loss of revenue or damage to a system, server, network or the like. There's a level of proof that must be met. At best, a bombardment of email that doesn't deny customer service is a violation of an ISPs TOS....nothing more.

Not to mention it isn't hard to hide an IP, MAC address and hack into someone's unsecure wireless system to accomplish such tasks....but that's another story altogether. Linux is a scary tool...

If you know Linux how can you not know where or how to find those kind of tools?

Looking a program for Windows, not Linux...

Okay, I admit, I didn't know what email bombing was. Please, no need to demonstrate. So, to Google I went for education. I thought this was a funny definition (no offense intended):

Traits of an Internet Mail-Bomber
The typical Internet mail-bomber is a junior or senior in high school, or freshman in college. They hold radical beliefs that are far to the left or right and do not take well to constructive criticisms. Maladjusted to their environment and preferring social isolation, their felonious handles protect them from person-to-person relationships as they frequent the Usenet newsgroups.

Stereotypically, they are also technocratic elitists who take pleasure in the "dark side" of the Internet (including computer hacking, theft of service from telephone utilities, and credit card fraud). They feel their power is derived from their ability to adversely affect your daily life. With their inflated egos they attempt to cause mischief while hiding behind their shield of anonymity.

LMAO! I think the author has been a victim a few too many times.

Also known as the Script Kiddie....they are hated by the security community because they are too lazy to learn the TRUE art of hacking.

That description seems highly accurate. I look at this stuff from an investigative perspective, not a hack persepctive. Those who investigate computer crime must be familiar with the tools of the trade.

Yup, you've got:
Crackers
Hackers
Script Kiddies

As far as script kiddies go, I can't blame them for using tools that've been developed already...why re-invent the light bulb?

Just like in any crime, the TRUE hacker/cracker that knows their stuff will never get caught and leave a dead end when trying to track'em.
