Ident is a protocol which gives to the remote server the name of the user who initiated a given connection.
It’s mainly used by IRC, SMTP and POP servers to obtain the login name of the person who is using their services.
There is a flaw in the remote identd daemon which allows anyone to crash this service remotely.
