"The scriptkiddie, living in Kenosha (Wisconsin), based his bot on another piece of malware, called Evilbot (by Evilgoat). According to the then 13-year old Wicked, Evilgoat's original bot wasn't good enough; although the sourcecode proved that the author was skilled, Wicked mentioned Evilbot being rather buggy, uncreative and being programmed from a narrowminded point of view. For these reasons, the Kenoshan decided to reverse engineer Evilgoat's bot in order to obtain the sourcecode, make some edits and rename the program to "WkD Bot 1.0".

The WkD Bot caused a lot of fuss in the media when Steve Gibson, webmaster of GRC.com [1], got his website DDoSsed six times by a large number of WkD Bots. These bots (that were controlled by their original author) were set to attack GRC.com, because Wicked didn't appreciate being called a 'script kiddie' by Gibson in a newsgroup dispute. The total number of malicious packets sent to Gibson's website was 2.4 billion. Gibson investigated on the matter, and quickly showed the whole world how Wicked was performing his attacks, by a performance on TechTV and a special page on his website dedicated to the six attacks.

In the readme.txt that was included with the files, Wicked announced that he was gonna work on updates for WkD Bot, but they never saw the light. Even up to today, 1.0 is still the most recent version."
