Mstream, the newest of DDoS tools to be circulated, has been analyzed and has been found to be more primitive than any of the other DDoS tools available. Examination of reverse engineered and recovered C source code reveals the program to be in early development stages, with numerous bugs and an incomplete feature set compared with any of the other listed tools. The effectiveness of the stream/stream2 attack itself, however, means that it will still be disruptive to the victim (and agent) networks even with an attack network consisting of only a handfull of agents.
