if they do not want to stop it, lets put them off the net ( nuke/teardrop/farm/bonk/..... )

btw: i had problems running bonk , got :

erez@aristo ~==> bonk
Usage: ./bonk <src_addr> <dst_addr> [num]
erez@aristo ~==> bonk aristo erez
IP_HDRINCL: Bad file number

what should i put in the src_addr, dst_addr and num ?

regards
