Subject: DCOM RPC exploit failed

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
