Re: SMTP vulnerabilities

["Dennis Stout" <crazyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't considering a flood, just a prolonged string of events to leave a
noticeble log on their system so they know I'm watching.  Like a series of
pings at the smallest bytes per packet I can do.  Just a lot of them at a
regular interval (1 a second ought to do very well, tho 1 per 2 seconds
would be better) so it leaves a wide area in their logs to see the same ip
address over and over again.  *shrugs*
