Forgive me, if my comment regarding e-mail bombing was disturbing to you or
anyone else in the mailing list. But I also have a few things to point out
regarding
comments that were raised:
a) Someone who has the interest to belong on a security related mailing
list,
I assume he/she has some knowledge of the technology and related
Internet
resources.
b) Posting articles and requesting tools for mail-bombing on a firewall
mailing list,
with no related information such as testing against a firewall et.
al., denotes
something more than just a work/study related interest.
c) If the later is true, did you ever think that the potential victim could
reside in your site?
d) I have no problem sharing information related to my work interests with
others.
e) Any information I post is my opinion and doesn't reflect any of
Bellcore's policies either !
f) Comments against specific people, parties or companies should have more
direct and
detailed explanation as to "how" and "why" such comments are true or
raised.
g) Stguchi can use one of the search engines using his/her browser to find
a whole lot
more information on the subject.
Have a mail-bomb free weekend !

Observations -
1. someone isn't familiar with ping, finger, whois or dig... (or even
just
going to the is.internic.net siteO to get an IP address
2. someone isn't planning to respond on port 23 (smtp)....
3. Stugchi (and AOL in the process) is going to get a lot more than he
asked
for.. it appears.
Curious - this coming from CSC and Bellcore... but perhaps I
presume too much.
Best wishes for a good weekend.
