This is an interesting point. Vista/Server 2008 have a completely
rewritten network stack and firewall; Windows 7 also has an updated
stack and firewall. It is quite possible that the ticket[0] was tested
on Vista, despite XP SP2 being specified, as XP is EOL[1]. I have
access to Windows Server 2008 so I can test this more thorougly later
today.

As an asside, I wonder if windows firewall butts out if the FTP ports
and ncrack are added as firewall exceptions?
