I want to unse my Unix machines to destroy all Windows machines around the world. I want to destroy Windows, Microsoft and Bill Gates for good. What do I need to launch the "mother of all attacks" against Windows systems?

There's no need; these things sooner or later self-destruct without much assistance.

"There is no problem that cannot be solved by the judicious application of a sufficient amount of high explosives". I just saw that somewhere, I'm not advocating anything. In fact, see my sig, which saves the world (remember it, just in case ...). Joe -- Gort, klatu barada nikto

Windows systems "phone home" for just about every possible reason. This is effectively a distributed denial of service attack against Microsoft (self-inflicted!). Once the Microsoft-owned systems go down, none of them will be able to re-validate their licenses, and the whole thing will just implode. Just sit back and watch (and laugh). Gordon L. Burditt

True. And it's *very* hard to disable and extremely annoying.

The thing is, none of those reasons have anything to do with
re-validating licenses. I've got machines running all versions of Windows
you can imagine on isolated networks with no Internet access at all. I've
never had a license validation problem except when hardware was majorly
changed with a 30-day warning.
Unless you know something nobody else does.

Eliot, You received some whining responses, but your post is still likely to be the funniest thing I read today... R.

Well, you need to study Windows in detail in order to discover and isolate any weakness in security. Then you must exploit this weakness... What's that? You hate Windows too much to study it? That sounds like a problem to me. -- Fletcher Glenn
