"dds" is a program to scan for a limited set of distributed denial of
service (ddos) agents.
At present, it scans for active instances of "trinoo", "Tribe Flood
Network" ("TFN") and "stacheldraht" agents, which were compiled
using the default values in known source distributions, such as those
found at:
http://packetstorm.securify.com/distributed/
It will *not* detect TFN2K agents.
For analyses of the three distributed denial of service attack
tools it scans for, and the methods being used by dds to identify
them, see:

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
