You Look Like I Need a Drink

I don't condone spamming or even email bombs, and anyone stupid enough to get caught using one deserves what is coming. However, I read an article a few months back about DoS'ing (Denial of Service) a cell phone by sending either 900 or 9000 (I don't recall the exact number) text messages to the phone rendering the cell phone inoperable. I got to thinking that there are many free web services that allow anyone on the net to send a text message to a cell phone. Up to now, I have not come across any services that allow you to send more than one text message at a time. This is where textmessage.cc comes in. After typing in the pertinent information and choosing a cell phone provider (be it Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, etc.) We are given the option to send 10, 20, 30, or 40 messages at the same time. Curious but not stupid enough to actually try this, I first recommend you download Torpark to anonymize your IP, or better yet, take a laptop and find an open Access Point, then use Torpark, log into textmessage.cc and then bombard your cubicle dwelling boss's phone rendering it useless. Now I have tried it with one message at a time but simply hitting the 'back' button on your browser allows you to go back to the previously unsent text message and resend it. Do it a few times and suddenly 900 textmessages are sent in just a few minutes. Proof of concept? Well shit, someone step up to bat.
