Comments 
 The current Deep Throat 3.0 is a buggy release which is good of course. Version 3.0 offers many more features and a better client for the hacker. While this version is buggy because of the great demand for it's release. It's keylogger uses port 999 TCP by default and it's FTP server uses 41 TCP. The port redirection a new feature to DeepThroat is defaulted for making the hacker's IRC IP number the one of the trojan's.
