"real world" is the worst-case DOS tool available. Synflood tools like juno seem to fit that category. If you think juno is not a good real-world test, then keep pissing people off and you'll find out how real it is. ;-) > > > I have spent many hours investigating peoples problems sshing to their > > > machines only to find out they didnt follow instructions.
