Overview

Vendor Notes:

from the doc: 'A powerful attack against DNS servers. DDNSF will send lots of queries to disable DNS. If DNS daemon software logs incorrect queries (like most of do), affect will be greater. If not you are still able to disable DNS. Written and tested under Linux but should run under other unixes.'
