Hello all, As I said before, forgive me, because my english is not so good! I'll make a "Multi-reply" in this email... It's easier ;) Thanks for all the replies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James <pyro () pyro za net> wrote:
This on a LAN or Internet or both? I made this test in my LAN.
-LAN Speed: 10Mbits. -NICs (Network Interface Card): 3Com905btx, Genius, Encore & Realtek. -Hubs: 3Com Super Stack II. -Windows98 Versions: 4.10.1998 (Portuguese and English versions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Laurent LEVIER <llevier () argosnet com> wrote:
I tried with the French version of Windows 98. when I run ping -l 65000 -f IPaddr. ping refuses. Of course ping -f 65000 is not accepted too. Strange the ping command changes between US & FR version.
Sorry, I made a mistake when sent the email to Bugtraq. The correct command (From Linux Slackware 3.6 Kernel 2.0.36) line is: ping -f -s 65000 IPaddr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quantum <fusion77 () bellsouth net> wrote:

Try from a linux... I got these results flooding from a Linux Slackware 3.6 Kernel 2.0.36... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Van Riper <tomv () dreamscape com>
yeah no kidding, the world has known a dialup connection weither it be windows or a unix type operating system, that a small amount of icmp packets will kill the connection for years, thats old stuff. try synfluding on ports 0-65535 for some real fun ;)
Hehe... But a synflood just made the LAN Communication slower, and didn't affected Windows 98 than pingflood affected!
