That's funny... When run on wine on BSD (I had to see if it would), you still have decent bandwidth. Sure, tcpdump just pours out packet information, but everything still works just fine.
I agree that the idiots who call the tower the hard drive or the cpu (not quite as bad) and think cdrom drives are cup holders wouldn't get around to updating their kernel or installing security patches were *nix so popular. That, however, would not likely dissuade the development community from scrutinizing the source and furthering it for what they wanted or needed it to do. All it would mean would be that there would be a lot more idiots to clog up newbie message boards and a few techies (and some know nothings) making money offering telephone/remote terminal support services. It might even mean less security holes as idiots and neophytes have a way of finding them and complaining.
Yes, it does work quite well with wine, as confirmed by tcpdump. I will be sure to have it running this weekend just in case the rumors are true. I mean, sure I could just reverser engineer it, but that's just not as fun as running it an entire weekend and watching all the ip's of recently infected users go by in my tcpdump output.
BTW, Anyone in the 85.221.22.* ip block running an unpatched NT derivative, sorry, but I had to test it.
