Overview

Vendor Notes:

From the doc: 'All of the boot codes work ill be updating them shortly when i make newer and better ones so keep an eye out for possibly another version, but the codes on this program are pretty affective in booting some people, such as people useing all windows on the new yahoo5.0 also boots yaoo4.0 because the way i set up the boots. But in saying this all boot codes are not 100% effective other clients such as cheeta chat and yahelite simply cant be booted :('

DoS: An exploit whose purpose is to deny somebody the use of the service: namely to crash or hang a program or the entire system. Examples of DoS attacks include flooding the victim with more traffic than can be handled; flooding a service (like IRC) with more events than it can handle bomb; crashing a TCP/IP stack by sending corrupt packets; crashing a service by interacting with it in an unexpected way; or hanging a system by causing it to go into an infinite loop. For example, the Ping of Death exploit crashed machines by sending illegally fragmented packets at a victim. A common word for DoS is ""nuke"", which was first popularized by the WinNuke program.
