I'll give it a go later.
I don't feel like restarting Windows for a 10th time today.

[Heru]

Doesn't affect Win3.x?  Yet crashes 9x and ME.
Hmm.. Windows gets worse as new versions are released, and now we have some proof!  maybe not, since XP insn't affected.

But I have run into a site that if veiwed in IE on Windows NT 4, 2k or XP, will crash your computer.  I can't remember the address though, but I do know that it isn't supposed to do that.

[Calum]

no it doesn't work in winME.

and the reason it doesn't is that it will only work with certain versions of win98 and win95 and even then, only when you are using internet explorer. netscape and opera and so on will not crash the system in this way.

[hoojchoons]

Well, I've tried this on my Win2k machine, but it doesn't seem to work. Propably works with Win 95 and 98.

[Master of Reality]

I just put an image tag with it in The Abyss.

[Ctrl Alt Del 123]

Windows XP here, didn't crash.

Windows 98 downstairs with all current patches, didn't crash.

[Calum]

that's because there's a fix in one of the M$ updates from 2000. Still, how many people install all the updates? i try not to, i installed one update once and it fucked up my cdrw drivers, requiring a clean reinstall. I don't need those fucking updates anyway, it's just windows anyway, who cares? i'll need to reinstall it sometime anyway...

[Sorh]

Here winME with IE5... didn't work.

[voidmain]

Holy shit!!!! WinXP with service pack 27 and IE 7.943 here. It just crashed my computer, then reformated my hard drive and installed RedHat 7.2!!! Strange thing is it hasn't crashed since, and I don't get anymore lookout viruses...

i think the link is supposed to be like this:
file://C:/CON/CON

too bad we can't make the proper link on the forums

All you have to do is create a web page on a free site that contains nothing more than a page that automatically redirects to the crash link. Then link that page in your message.

In fact create a PHP file on your web server that contains only this one line:

Code: [Select]

Call it "crash.php" (or whatever you like). Then just send a hyperlink in your message in this forum and it will crash susceptible windows machines.  I just tried it and it crashed my Win98 machine...

Note: for the above to work you have to obviously be using a PHP capable web server.  You can also use other methods of redirecting, like JavaScript (I turn JavaScript off by default so you wouldn't get me even if I did use Windows to surf the net, this PHP script will work even with JavaScript turned off). You can also use an HTTP-EQUIV statement. Search the web if you don't know how.

Of course this will not crash a Linux browser. This is what I get when I try to open the page with Konqueror:

Code: [Select]
