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
