Here are my observations :)
[ 2 series of attacks each of 20 to 30 trials ]
linux with kernel 2.0.35 against win98 polish version
linux with kernel 2.0.34 against same system another computer
[ Procedure ]
Computer with windows was just started then I tried to send 10000 of
oshare packets to him.
[ Results ]
there is a 50 % chance windows is not vulnerable
25 % chance win would reboot
25 % chance win would show screen with 'Critical error message' then
it would work but doesn't see network
[ Strange thing ]
If windows wasn't vulnerable just after starting computer I found it
sometimes vulnerable. That happend after pinging another computer from
windows box. It looks like performing some network activity on computer
with windows makes it more vulnerable.
