:That's just an example of a connection to a chargen server. It's relevant and edifying, but I don't know if it should be in the article raw like that. [[User:Kundor|Kundor]] 16:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Why did chargen go away?
chargen has a long history of abuse and that's the reason no one uses it anymore. Spoof a packet from an echo service to the chargen service and enjoy the chaos. I don't really know enough to edit the article but the reason for chargen's demise surely belongs on this page. Here's a couple of good sources that document the DoS potential:
