Trinoo
Trinoo is a scheme to launch DDoS attack, using a master program and multiple agents on multiple compromised systems. The attacker activates the master program and the master activates the agents using a list of IP addresses. The attacker connects to the master program via TCP, typically telnet. The master program launches the agents, connecting to them via UDP on port 27444. The agents then simultaneously attack one or more targets by flooding the network with UDP packets.
