Take Back P2P (http://www.takebackp2p.tk/) is a site which allows you to use your browser by clicking a link to load images from various scam p2p sites, causing a drain on their bandwidth and a possible shutdown. The effect of that link has also been achieved in an executable file which is currently available as WebStorm1.2.zip (http://www.freewebtown.com/dablade/WebStorm1.2.zip). The zip file contains the executable WebStorm.exe along with a urllist.txt text file. The text file can be customized and updated to load images from whatever sites you choose to place in there. The program could work as a Denial of Service tool to slow down websites.
When using the executable program, you can start it working by checking off the "active" box. Then using the slider bar on the bottom, you can throttle up the bandwidth you use on your computer. The percentage shown reflects the rate that the program is working. Throttle it up to 100% for full effect, which should use all of of your bandwidth. When you run the program it has no placeholder on the task bar, so in order to find it you have to minimize all your open windowed programs and you will then see it running on top of your desktop.
The program was worked on by a few people including those at Methlabs, but they've decided not to be officially associated with the program. You can read more about it at their forum here (http://methlabs.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1938). The program has successfully shut down the scam site openwares.org (http://www.openwares.org). See the attachment for a screenshot of the WebStorm version 1.2 program.
