I just tested this with some python script from my Mac Mini, BSOD'ed my Windows 7 laptop the moment I ran the script the first time. Works like a champ. lol. This appears to not work over a WAN like the internet, but works on the LAN side. Still has use though and I can see 'playing' with some of our Win Vista/7 users at work :) Comment posted by:

Windows 7 when it ships next month will be vulnerable to an attack that hasn't been possible since 1999, a new vulnerability found by a security researcher shows.The flaw stems from the rewritten network stack inherited from Vista, which itself has also been discovered as vulnerable to the attack.
Um, if it occurs in Windows Vista, doesn't that make the whole statement false? It's been possible to do this, apparently, since 2007 (or 2006, whenever Vista came out). Comment posted by:

You would seem to be correct. From my reading of it, the exploit was in pre-1999 Windows, patched in 2000 and XP, and reappeared but was forgotten about (and not exploited) in Vista, which then caries onto Windows 7. Everything old is new again...
