I highly recommend watching his C10M video (linked in the article): 'Shmoocon 2013 - C10M Defending The Internet At Scale' - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73XNtI0w7jA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73XNtI0w7jA</a>
How do you deal with the abuse reports? I tried this on a Digital Ocean's droplet against port 80 and sure enough I got reported for abuse in less than 5 minutes after running the script at only 100k rate. It's only port 80!
Impressive.<p>Only one thing bugs me: "but I replace 'xor' with a mathematically equivalent 'modulus' operation."<p>Unless you scan 256,512,768,etc. number of ports there will be bias, and sequence only looks random. I suggest the author to take a look at this:<p><a href="http://eternallyconfuzzled.com/arts/jsw_art_rand.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://eternallyconfuzzled.com/arts/jsw_art_rand.aspx</a>
30 million packets per second from one server, wow.<p>Pretty terrifying if you subvert it to hit just one network instead of randomly scanning the internet.
