A friend and I were discusing the possible uses of the bittorrent
network in DDOS's. It could be a very massive botnet if you advertised
popular files with the targets ip address and target service. In the most
recent version of azerus I noticed that the default settings ignore
clients that advertise on ports "0;25;135;139".
For instance if I falsely advertise: HTTP, RDP, SIP, VNC ports and the
victims ip address and loaded my client with very popular hashes... I
would think this would overburden most small medium businesses without
having to own or buy a botnet.
comments?
