yes, but can you crash the whole operating system?
Also, a new development, the microsoft site says that any problems caused by the c:/con/con bug can be eliminated by simply restarting the machine. Interesting then that i have since seen several sites that warn that you can destroy your vfat filesystem completely just by accessing a "restricted" device name like this in windows or DOS. Now since this bug only affects win9x, that means that all filesystems attached to those OSs are vfat. So they can all be fucked. There is a patch which eliminates this problem, but it is dated 2000. I think that is pretty poor since the actual bug has been present since windows 95.
Now, how do we go about pulling the same thing off in NT/2000/XP?
