There is a new thing that was just announced on Bugtraq called "bonk". It
seems to be something to watch out for. It'll crash *patched* and
unpatched 95 and NT machines... Sysadmins of networks running on these
platforms beware. :) (Yet something else for a workaround.) :-/
Have fun with it. :)

Does anyone have an URL that describes winnuke and how to prevent attacks
against it? I've been searching around, but I haven't really found the
goods on it. I heard that winnuke works on ports 137-139 and I'm seeing
UDP packets being sent from by dialup clients to our broadcast address on
ports 137 and 137, which is making me paranoid :-) I also know that
Netbeui uses these ports, so the packets could be harmless.
