I would say to roll your own binary hardcoded to only hit 1 IP address, and
have it held on a law enforcement approved network under the supervision of
a qualified agent. 0.02

Say for instance one wanted to create an "ethical botnet," how would
this be done in a manner that is legal, non-abusive toward other

Our company for instance has always relied on outside attacks to spot
check our security and i'm beginning to think there may be a more user
friendly alternative.

Thoughts?
