I don't care where it purports to be from, for this kind of code, I will not trust something [to not be a trojan] that I can not compile myself. This policy applies to SSH, SSL, and other security related code. I am sure that I am not the only one with this policy. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > Rodney Caston > Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2000 8:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: FBI / NIPC released a DDoSD detection tool? > > > > I'm not sure if this is news or not, but looking at > http://www.fbi.gov/nipc/trinoo.htm - it seems the NIPC has released > binaries, (no source code, the jerks), for tools to detect if a box has > trin00, tribal flood net, tfn2k and some other DDoSD's on it. > > So far they have a sparc solaris, intel solaris, and x86 linux binary for > download.
