Avalanche

Avalanche is a Windows 3.x and Windows 95/NT based mail-bombing program that was developed by H-Master. Unlike the other bombers, Avalanche comes with a number of configuration files that permits the attacker to customize, create, and select random mail headers and messages. Using a sophisticated GUI, the bomber can select the number of mail messages to send or can force the program to send messages continuously until explicitly stopped. For anonymity, Avalanche ``features'' fake mail headers with several built-in anonymous SMTP servers. Avalanche is distributed with over 20 pages of documentation consisting of a detailed user's guide, a Tips for Bombing tutorial, and an Addon Implementation Guide. The Addon support functionality is a unique feature of Avalanche, which permits the bomber to add new attacks and functionality to the tool without recompiling the source code. Also similar to KaBoom and Up Yours, Avalanche can be used to subscribe Internet citizens to numerous mailing lists without their knowledge.
