um, no.  this is a terrible idea.

How so? He was after a way to slow John Q's box down to the point where he would get it rebuilt by a pro/friend/random guy on the corner. Most of the botnet/spammer code I've looked isn't overly complex. it's orientated to sending UBE/UCE, nothing more. Most of them leak memory live a seive, so holding a connection open will cause the box to behave poorly, therefore prompting John Q to get a rebuild
