It was possible to disconnect the remote host by sending it an specially crafted ICMP echo request packet. It is also possible to make the remote modem hang up and dial any phone number.

It was possible to crash the remote host using the 'pimp' attack. This flaw allows an attacker to make this host crash at will, thus preventing the legitimate users from using it.

It was possible to crash the remote host using the 'Winnuke' attack, that is to send an OOB message to this port.

An attacker may use this flaw to make this host crash continuously, preventing the system from working properly.

It was possible to make the remote server crash using the 'teardrop' attack.

An attacker may use this flaw to shut down this server, thus preventing your network from working properly.

It was possible to make the remote Sun crash by flooding it with ^D characters instead of entering our login.

This flaw allows an attacker to prevent your network from working properly.

It was possible to make the remote server crash using the 'nestea' attack.

An attacker may use this flaw to shut down this server, thus preventing your network from working properly

The remote host appears to be using a Linux kernel that contains a flaw in its IP fragment handling code. By sending a series of packets with 0 length fragments, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to disable the remote host's IP connectivity.

It was possible to make the remote server crash using the 'land' attack.

An attacker may use this flaw to shut down this server, thus preventing your network from working properly.

It was possible to make the remote server crash using the 'bonk' attack. This is due to a design flaw in the remote operating system's TCP/IP implementation.

An attacker may use this flaw to shut down this server, thus preventing the network from working properly.

It was possible to make the remote Ascend router reboot by sending it a UDP packet containg special data on port 9 (discard).

An attacker may use this flaw to make your router crash continuously, preventing your network from working properly.
