CERT Advisory CA-99-17 - Denial-of-Service Tools. Recently, new techniques for executing denial-of-service attacks have been made public. MacOS 9 can be abused by an intruder to generate a large volume of traffic directed at a victim in response to a small amount of traffic produced by an intruder. This allows an intruder to use MacOS 9 as a "traffic amplifier," and flood victims with traffic. A tool similar to Tribe FloodNet (TFN), called Tribe FloodNet 2K (TFN2K) was released.
