This is an Anti-IMP program. It works fine against stone and/or spiral program.
It also beats silent scanners that don't use decoys, colored bombs, djn trail,
etc (i.e No Mucking About, B-Scanners L.I.V, etc)

Against other scanners, vampires and papers, this program still needs major 
improvements.

Statistic result against spiral/stone programs:

PS: About line s1-s4, I believe Matt Hastings still has the other variation.
