It runs on NT, but does not run on Win2K...yet. Known bug so I'm sure it
will be compatible by the next major release.

I've cc'd JD so he can straighten me out on this if I'm wrong, but I think
his thinking was he wanted a tool that can be used to test firewalls but
he also wanted to keep it from being a good "bad guy" tool. With this in
mind, the payload is fixed.
JD, am I close? Possible future feature?
BTW, a *very* cool feature of this tool is that it can shim the stack on
the fly without requiring a system reboot. This is great for boxes where
you don't want to leave the stack in modified form but can't aford to
reboot every time you need to add/remove the shim.
HTH,
Chris
