Does anyone know a simple way how to > crash a windows nt 3.51 server ? :-) There is a logout/login race you can exploit by running a CPU intensive background process before logging out so that you can get priveledges you shouldn't have on the way back in. I forget the exact details; someone posted a program to one of the security groups. Alternately, run a console mode app that includes ifsmgr.inc from the DDK and make an int 20 VXD call gate trap to one of the IFS functions and watch it die (this will kill Win95 as well). Silly, isn't it? Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
