to test the latest Banshee combat insertion ICE? It's a real beaut... All
it does is lock onto your dataline and start munching CPU time. But it
spawns and sends copies of itself back up the line, into every node you've
routed through (assuming you're smart enough to do that) and starts
munching CPU time there.

You want to know what happens next? Well, most systems do a security
scan every .1 seconds or so. On the next scan, they notice that the local
through port on their machine is using up a LOT of processor time. What do
they do then? They go onto security alert, shutting down all luser
processes and start pumping their nodes full of ICE. The next thing they
do is notice an unauthorized line threading all through their systems and
go about erradicating it.

Evil as hell: last poor "matrixwalker" we tried it on had at least six
screamers stuck to him by the time he jacked out (and yes, we let the guy
jack out. We arn't into digital murder. We figured we should give him at
least a fighting chance). You know what that means? Assuming two screamers
per corp, thats 3+ corps who knew his realspace location. They weren't
biggies, and they weren't even local (if the guy had any brains at all) so
probably all it meant was that he had to hunt down a new dos, but that'll
teach him to mess with the best...

And no, you don't have any advantage on us from this info. We only use
this on newbies we want to teach a lesson. HEY DUKE! I GUESS THAT WOULD BE
YOU, WOULDN'T IT?]<<<<<
