In some mail from Ventsislav Genchev, sie said:
I've tested the attack on 4 machines.. The first two were running windows 98 SE with all patches and service packs... the CPU stuck the 100% as soon as the attack started.. The last two machines were running Fedora Core 1 Linux and RedHat Linux 9... no success here... the attack seems not to bother the normal work of the PCs... The RedHat Linux uses kernel-2.4.20-30.9...
Is there any real point in testing Windows 9*, still ? Does anyone care, including Microsoft, enough to want it fixed rather than get people to upgrade to something that is better when it comes to security, overall ? This is approaching 6 years plus in age and has surely got to be in the "so what" category by now. Similarly, IE4 has dropped off the things to check and you didn't test with Linux 2.2 or 2.0 or whatever else is of similar same vintage (not that I would expect any difference in terms of results).
