Well... I have been programming, and know want to do my own DoS like program which sends a heavy amount of packets which cause to flood the target IP. So I went to look around for winsockets tutorials, psuedo pointed me to a badass tutorial by Beej... The tut was mainly coded in Linux, so it was hard to transcode Unix to Windows.. But in the document, it said something bout Cygwin... I want to know if you can compile Unix code, such as C/C++, on Windows Vista using this applcation. Also, does this program support C programming or C++, or both? And would anyone know how it works... Thanks..
