        It must be compiled and run as root, and uses a lot of brute force
attacks on things such as the Buffer Overflow error, and some other common
(but fixable) problems in standard installations of Linux.
        There's another one as well, called Stoag, which is a lot more
destructive, but again, is not in the wild -- yet.
