Windows 95/NT DoS

[myst () LIGHT-HOUSE NET (myst)]

Hello,

        It is possible to remotely cause denial of service to any windows
95/NT user.  It is done by sending OOB [Out Of Band] data to an
established connection you have with a windows user.  NetBIOS [139] seems
to be the most effective since this is a part of windows.  Apparently
windows doesn't know how to handle OOB, so it panics and crazy things
happen.  I have heard reports of everything from windows dropping carrier
to the entire screen turning white.  Windows also sometimes has trouble
handling anything on a network at all after an attack like this.  A
reboot fixes whatever damage this causes.  Code follows.
