Overview

Vendor Notes:

From the doc: 'Put your user name and password in the proper text boxes, then hit login... When the status box says that you are ready to go to chat room, then insert the room that you want to enter into the proper text box, and hit Enter Room... Then you are in the room...lol... even though the status box still says 'ready to enter room' you are still in the room... (feel free to go to that room with your messenger if you want to see what you are doing in the room.. but i wouldnt reccomend it while you are using the freezes) Once you are in the room you can use all other options of the program, but dont use those options before you go in the room, or you will cause an error and the program will close... Keep in mind that this is a beta version, that i just built today..'

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.
