>> "By intentionally transmitting the ApacheBench program to YouSendIt's server..." the FBI said in a statement.
This statement makes it clear how unfamiliar the FBI is with technology.
- powertower 15y agoNo. The payload was the binary ab.exe (ApacheBench), sent over and over again using the YouSendIt service, which sends files from person A to person B instead of using email.
- seats 15y agoWell that is certainly an interpretation that would make sense, so thanks. I reread the FBI's statement, and I'm not convinced that what you suggest is what they actually mean, however. Does yousendit actually work that way? Can I send someone an arbitrary executable referenced from an email and it actually runs?
- brown9-2 15y agoWhat would be the point of this? Why send ab?
- ceejayoz 15y agoIt would certainly send a statement. "You really should be using ab for load testing. Here, have a million copies of it."
