Since the timeout ended up being so small ($delay seconds) and it generally
takes between 200-500 threads for most servers and assuming any latency at
all... you might have trouble using Xen0n against this target. You can
tweak the -tcpto flag down to 1 second but it still may not build the sockets
in time.
