More importantly to this ( I feel ) is the new raw sockets ability in
windows XP. I don't know how many have seen this but take a look at the DOS
pages on Gibson Research - http://grc.com/dos/intro.htm
With particular reference to the pages regarding how the raw stack will
allow 'hackers' to completely spoof the identity of the machines involved in
(D)DoS.

there's my two cents :)

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft is
having getting released ??
One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make
sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality
based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be
registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is
installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a
Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you
have installed it on a different machine.
Anyone have options on the new XP ?
