There are other ways of gaining remote access. This is a pretty well-constructed local DoS attack you can run (without root access, I think!).
Attacks can take many forms, most new attacks are single components that one would combine to perform a real-world attack.
Here, you would combine some method of gaining remote access (maybe a webserver hole you can drop a shell with) with this and get an excellent remote DoS attack.
- saurik 16y agoOne really easy way of getting remote access is to ask for it. Local exploits and DoS attacks are important not just because other exploits may let you run code remotely: there are many situations in which computers are not single-user devices. At my university anyone can remotely log in to any of the machines used as lab workstations and there are numerous shared fileservers you can log in to as well. People also still routinely purchase "shell accounts" on shared hosting providers.
