Hi, We were interested in testing this out and were unable to reproduce the results that you say you saw. Taking your exploit, the only way we could get any reaction is by sending multiple small size packets in a loop. In this case, it is more of a traditional packet based DoS You are right about it not logging the connection though. I tried both a sp2 patched and a fully patched Windows 2000 Server machine. What are the specific values you pass the perl program to cause the DoS situation? Does the service crash? does the memory usage spike? I also tried ensuring that the requested resource was available, and changed protocol specs.
