Perhaps if people read the source, and compared it with the original, they
would notice that there are not many operational differences, aside from
the fact that this goes through the extra step of setting MSS, and
calculating the correct checksum.  The fact that the _all_ the packet kids
can use this, doesn't unleash a deadly new tool, merely a slightly
modified one.  There are no optimizations in this upon the original, nor
are there any real benefits.  It was merely written to produce a syn
generator that created packets with correct checksums and MSS.

The further comment you made regarding the url merely demonstrates your
immaturity to deal with a situation when it arises.
