by Phiber on February 6th, 2001 Paulo Ribeiro has found an error in Microsoft Windows 98. By sending diffrend ICMP types and codes to a Win98 machine, you can halt it!!!!
This is what he said on the mailing list:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, everyone.
I've been sending different ICMP types and codes to a Win98 machine in
my LAN. While I've sent the ICMP type 9 code 0, the Win98 machine simply halted.
So, I've made a program (p-smash.c, which is attached) and I'm sending
it for you.
Please, remember that I've only tested it on my LAN.
Yours,
