Here is the first release of KillDoom. It's meant to be used
by network supervisors who want to definitelly stop NetDoom playing
in their networks.
One can kill DOS/IPX NetDoom players anywhere in a network connected
by IPX routers. Just run KILLDOOM with the network address as parameter
and DOOM(tm) and DOOM II(tm) network players will crash. If you want to
be more drastic, run KILLDOOM BROADCAST, and it will kill NetDoom players
everywhere they can be found; just be careful with the BROADCAST option
because it can really flood your network.
I'd like to say that I also do like to play NetDoom. It's surely the
best game ever made in the world until 1994. But this hobby must not
interfere in anyone's work, during business hours.
This program may be used and distributed freely. There is absolutely
NO WARRANTY.
KNOWN BUGS:
- Works only in Ethernet. ArcNet, FDDI, Token Ring, etc. are still not
supported. I've done this to learn how IPX and Packet Drivers work.
Maybe, if I can find a Public Domain IPX API I can port it to all other
network architectures.
- For the previous reason, it also works only in Ethernet_II frame
networks. Sorry all other folks, but we've been recommending
this instead of any other frame for a long time. If you don't want
to use Ethernet_II in your stations, but still want to use KILLDOOM,
add an Ethernet_II network in your server, just to route to the
destination.
TO DO:
- I'd like to make a Unix version, to put it in crontab and kill
NetDoom players once each 10 minutes... This can be done now in
a cheat way by putting KILLDOOM BROADCAST in the system login
script... 8^)
