    If you connect to a computer running the SimpleSever:WWW 1.16 (latest 
    version) you can remotely close the server causing a DoS.
    
    To crash the server:
    Connect to the machine (telnet server 80) and type 640 @ signs then press 
    enter twice.
    
    I haven’t tested to see exactly how many @ signs you need but 640 seems to 
    do the trick!
    
    I have also reported this to AlalogX, and I am still awaiting their reply.
    
    Fort.
