Best host for my script?

Forget php. ;)
Look at low level.

Interestingly enough I have had the best results with my PHP code. I spent a lot of time refining the code in PHP and tried to translate the code to both Perl and C. My PHP code just seems to be outperform my C and Perl code! Personally I have just found it easier to write efficient PHP code. You've got me thinking about re-trialling my Perl and C code now though. Good PHP code is just better than poor/mediocre C/Perl code I guess!
 
Agreed Chris. A poorly written script can still be outperformed by a well written one in a slower language. When I was chasing I tried C,perl,php and assembler. I got the best results from C but still nothing of outstanding quality (ie I could never be sure that I wasn't the only one chasing).
 
Ooooh naughty. Suppose I should post a basic perl dropcatching script now to help people on their way. :)
 
So i'll expect a dac crash next week when everyone is looping epp sends :D
 
Very interesting post invincible.

I don't intend to get into this game, I don't know enough. However I still find it very interesting.

So in theory, doing what invincible said and having a very well written assembly / machinecode catching script would give you the best possible chance of catching a name, even if the majority is still luck?

Edit: However, compilers will often beat hand written code, so C would be the best language?

Still think its worth entering into then? I suppose it wouldn't do any harm for me to try. Also it will improve my knowledge of php or c - whichever I go for.
