All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software

A little suggestion for those writing their own webpages...

Calum:
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?

voidmain:
Since when does that crash Netscape in Linux? I think you are on some mind altering drugs...

Master of Reality:
It crashes netscape 4.X at least... I was at school today telling people to go to my site and click a link to the bug, and it crashed the shcool computers which were running win95 with netscape 4.6

voidmain:
But you said in your earlier post that it would crash netscape on Linux.  I find that hard to believe. I just tried opening /dev/null in Netscape 4.79 in Linux and it just says "document contains no data".

Calum:
what crashes netscape in win*? the null thing? or the con thing?

also, i too with my limited knowledge find it difficult to believe that netscape and linux would crash in this way...
