NOTES:

This is the live casino online detection for a hacking tool that can be used to launch a denial of service attack by exploiting the Remote Desktop Protocol Vulnerability (CVE-2012-0002). When executed with no command-line parameters, the following message is displayed:

The first usage sends random data to a target machine. This can be used to test if the remote desktop service in the target machine is enabled. The parameter with -l specifies the size of data to send. The parameter -c causes the tool to pause for 5 seconds for every iteration. When the number of iterations is specified, this can function as a denial of service tool.

The second usage crashes the operating system.
