vmware image for win95?

A ping of death (abbreviated "POD") is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer. A ping is normally 56 bytes in size (or 84 bytes when IP header is considered); historically, many computer systems could not handle a ping packet larger than the maximum IP packet size, which is 65,535 bytes. Sending a ping of this size could crash the target computer.

Traditionally, this bug has been relatively easy to exploit. Generally, sending a 65,536 byte ping packet is illegal according to networking protocol, but a packet of such a size can be sent if it is fragmented; when the target computer reassembles the packet, a buffer overflow can occur, which often causes a system crash.

This exploit has affected a wide variety of systems, including Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows, printers, and routers. However, most systems since 1997-1998 have been fixed, so this bug is mostly historical.

In recent years, a different kind of ping attack has become wide-spread - ping flooding simply floods the victim with so much ping traffic that normal traffic fails to reach the system (a basic denial-of-service attack).

It doesn't take a whole lot of looking into. Looking into a 10 year old attack isn't going to do you a whole lot of good.
 
what if someone still wants to understand the patches in xp and vista.?

Then someone else would have to wonder why you're doing this test? Is it to see how to break or get around it and create a new POD that can take down XP?

Sorry Dude, but you ruined your own credibility here.
 
hey we gotta use the ignore function unless bryce or simmy will take him down, if not hmm maybe we dos him, just a thought. :)

Come on, you should be happy.
Look how much attention you get. LMAO

maybe they don't know, but I know why you are posting here.

You my friend suffer from ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and by asking controversial questions you get the attention you crave for.

Additionally, you got some harsh responses, but you allways answered nice, because you don't want to stop them from posting...

My advice:

don't learn about IT.
Get a doctor.
 
I used to work for IBM and the UK government doing some things I'm no longer proud of, ...

Do I know you or is just my vivid imagination?
By knowing you I mean your tutorials.
Were you by any chance using the word "BANG" in your tutorials at the point where the JE was replaced with a JNE ?

Apologies if I am mistaking.

Explination for those who don't know:
JE = Jump if Equal
JNE = Jump if Not Equal
They are Assembly language commands.

I dont think i m the one whom ur talking about.

the person above him:
I m not trying to pull any attention, but u r right till some extent that i m being nice because i dont want to be banned, and i just wanted to know this simple thing. I ruin everything i touch which is always unintentional. After such a long 3 page discussion a person about u is saying "i wanna break in xp", i aint bill gates neither i have so much of knowledge to break into any OS. its just something i wanna understand how it worked and how it was patched. thats it :)

That was a quote for ejsaunders not for you my friend.
I very much doubt you can write a cracking tutorial.
