I've tested it on NT machines with SP2 and most hotfixes installed. It's even worse: the NT machine reboots so it should come up again, but when it does, all memory (physical and virtual) is consumed. (from the previous memory dump ?)

Not sure why, but it only appears to work if the host is running
netbios (port 139). Attacking another port ie, httpd (port 80) does not
have any effect.
