That's usually not what you want anyways. There are ways to disable
RPC/DCOM completely, but systems might not run as they should anymore. the
list of incompatibilities is long and not worth discussing; if you use
windows server as a productive system (i.e. running webserver or alike)
you generally can't just "deactivate" DCOM to be fine -- it just won't
work.

Anyways, while being here, did anyone succeed in proofing that the k-otik
exploit a) compiles and b) really works universal?

cheers,
