Re:DCOM RPC exploit failed

Hi

With the Portuguese version of Windows XP using the 
offset from Windows XP SP1 english something different 
occurs. A window with a 30 seconds countdown and these 
senteces appears:

"You are not a valid administrator. Your computer will 
be powered off"

pretty disturbing. Finding the right offset will lead 
this exploit to be a new DoS tool with pratically no 
changes.

Just 4 info:

I compiled dcom.c on linux and tried it against a 
Windows 2000 SP4, german version.

The exploit failed (maybe I need some offset 
adjustments for the
german version of Win2k) but after that I noticed some 
malfunctions:

- The windows explorer was not able to perform drag'n 
drop any more.
When I tried to drag a file somewehere nothing 
happened.

- The media player failed. The window came up and 
closed itself after 
a few seconds.

... don't know what else failed...

So even when then exploit failed it may seriously 
disturb the windows 
functionality. A massive scan for vulnerable windows 
systems on the 
net may become the character of an DoS attack even 
without any  
successful exploit.

Ciao
  Marcus
