I am a networking engineer - here's my NZ$0.02. I use the OS the fits my needs - Linux, well Debian. A lot of the tools that I use are native on Unix machines. Here's some to name a few - wireshark (aka ethereal), tcpdump, tcptraceroute, whois, netcat, dig, awk, grep, sed, gnuplot, mtr, nmap, amap, httpush, and a few others that I would rather not mention. Plus all other needs are met such as browsing, email etc required in any corporate environment.
Long story short, I guess there is a similar list of tools that might be able to match the requirements list but it is not pretty (with a string of 30-day evals that w1nduuz apps seem to be plagued with).

Note: All of above are excuses. I get severe allergic reaction when W1nduuz starts up with that silly intro music.
Turns out that you do not need all that 'c' code to get things going. You can execute the attack from the shell. The following assumes that you have 'packit' installed:
Above injects twenty such packets at intervals of 1 sec (can change interval by -w ) - enough to keep the target at 100% for sometime. Here's the good people at sourceforge: http://packit.sourceforge.net/

Compressing the article into that statement would technically be classed as a lossy compression e.g. jpeg.

Lemme think of a good reason - I will get brain cancer if a keep on using W1nduuz?
