Artists Against 419 Releases Mugu Marauder

Posted by timothy on from the satisfying-anwers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Similar in scope to the (now defunct) screensaver created by Lycos that targeted spam sites, the newly-released Mugu Marauder is intended to take fraudulent bank sites off the air by sponging up their bandwidth. Mugu Marauder can be downloaded at www.aa419.org/mm/ It's currently only available for Windows, though a Linux port is allegedly in the works."

    ...this is known as a DDoS or a "Distributed Denial of Service" attack. Most ISPs will cancel your account and blacklist you for things like this. Use at your own risk!
