Re: Jamming communication [COM] ports in windows...

[Bipin Gautam <door_hUNT3R () blackcodemail com>]

Well, i understand this is a long issue... but LOTS OF PRANKS COULD BE PLAYED IN A OS even by using a guest account 
[minimum privilage]

--- well, you know the policies of winxp for guest account is tight!
no guest account can open a port below 1024, no COM port can be opened etc...

but in this case, it fails.....
