Revision history:
- 29th December 1996 -
First release of Avalanche (v1.0)
- 14th January 1997 -
Second release of Avalanche (v1.1)
-> Added 5 more e-mail header types.
-> Added some servers and removed "dead" ones.
-> Added more e-mail client types.
-> Fixed some bugs.
-> Added tips on "true SMTP sproofing". Refer to ALANCHE.DOC.
-> Added new option, "Use real IP for mail headers".
-> Leading or appending spaces in server and mailer lists are removed.
-> The server and mailer lists are now edited such that if duplicate
entries exists, only the first one is listed.
-> In the previous version, it may possible that a SMTP be used more
than once. This would result in a minor error for the SMTP server
which is duplicated will not send to the server next to it, but to
the server it should send to the second time it receives the
message. An example would be:
Sample server relay list:
Server 1
Server 2
Server 3
Server 2
Server 4
When Server 2 first receives the message, instead of passing it
along to Server 3, it may (usually) passes it to Server 4. This
means that Server 3 does not receives the message at all! This is,
of course, now fixed.
-> Now Avalanche is bundled with two other DOS utilities that will
help you maintain your server and mailer lists.
- 24th January 1997 -
Third release of Avalanche (v2.0)
-> Added a main menu.
-> Changed the look and feel of Avalanche.
-> Added multi-line log.
-> In v1.1, the server list is emptied everytime you bomb. This is
now fixed.
-> Fixed a bug that was causing trouble in the fake headers.
-> Fixed a bug which will make the program unable to bomb if you
change the relays after the first bomb.
-> Added even more e-mailer information.
-> Now includes insult list and generator.
-> Minor edit of ALANCHE.DOC.
-> Now the message "Bombing is complete." doesn't pop up if you click
on stop flood.
-> Now ending the program while flooding is in process will not cause
trouble with winsock.
-> Now Avalanche has mailing list bombing support. For more
information, refer to ALANCHE.DOC.
-> Change the code for the textboxes "Relays" and "Number of e-mails".
-> Added a lot more servers that do not log IP. Refer to the "True
SMTP Sproofing" section in ALANCHE.DOC for more information.
- 13th February 1997 -
Fourth release of Avalanche (v2.5)
-> Now you can use CTRL-C to copy text in the mail bombing and mailing
list subscriber menus. Thanks to Webman.
-> A lot of new mailing lists. Thanks to Webman.
-> Removed some useless code.
-> Change looks of the message body editor.
-> Change looks of the logs.
-> Change looks of the carbon copy editor.
-> Previously, if you send big messages, the program will send the
message and then stop. Now, this is fixed.
-> Now the text is highlighted when you tab to a textbox.
-> Added option to copy insult to clipboard.
-> Added "Use random insult for subject" and "Append random insult to
message" to mail bomber. Thanks to Brush.
-> Added "Randomly frame others". Thanks to Brush.
-> Now only error messages from the server and actions are logged.
-> The beginning and end of bombing are logged.
-> Multiple connection processors are being used. This will speed up
bombing but will take up more memory. However, the trade is worth
it for the speed up is quite dramatic and the extra memory needed
is quite insignificant.
- 20th February 1997 -
Fifth release of Avalanche (v2.8)
-> Sometimes when the program quits, the sockets it uses is not
released. This is now fixed.
-> Now the frame list is displayed in the mailing list subscriber.
-> Ending routine for the mailing list subscriber does not hang now.
-> Now, after the initialisation, memory no longer in use is released.
This will return a lot of memory to Windows, especially if you have
big lists.
-> Got rid of some unused code.
-> In v2.0, there was a need to use an extra command to make the
server end message mode because sometimes the first command gets
lost. However, in v2.5, the multiple control processors mean this
is no longer necessary. However, I forgot to remove it, thus
sometimes you may get a code 500 error. This is now fixed. Thanks
to Rick.
-> Changed the code to make the aboutbox and the mainmenu to stay on
top.
-> Removed some servers that are starting to log IP.
-> Added more anonymous servers.
-> Changed some of the names of the servers in MAILING.LST.
-> Added a lot of new list servers. Thanks to Webman.
-> Added error checking in the lists phrasing.
-> Added more e-mailer information.
-> Changed the version update code in the program.
-> When connecting to some servers, the program may not identify the
server's 220 response correctly (enn.com for example) if the server
sends the response in two packets. This is now fixed. Thanks to
TermokratoR.
-> When the program is bombing, clicking on the status would cause an
error. This is now fixed. Thanks to TermokratoR.
-> The random IP generated is more realistic now. Thanks to
TermokratoR.
-> The mailing list subscriber used to send your local name as the
domain. This is now fixed. Thanks to TermokratoR.
-> In graphics mode lesser than 800x600, parts of the mailbombing menu
would not be accessible. This is now fixed. Thanks to
TermokratoR.
-> 3 new menu options. "Save Session", "Save Session As" and "Load
Session" which allows you to save/load the settings. Thanks to
TermokratoR.
-> Dramatically changed the graphical user interface of Avalanche.
Now the graphical user interface is controlled by tabs. Thanks to
TermokratoR.
-> Now when you choose mail until stopped, you will see the number of
mails sent in the "Message sent:" box.
