"Timbuktu" is a remote administration suite that is
available for MacOS and Windows operating
systems.

Timbuktu utilizes a range of ports between (1417 -
1420). There exist a Denial of Service vulnerability
that will crash all timbuktu services running.

To exploit this all you must do is choose one of the
Timbuktu ports that are open and make a large
number of connections to it and if you keep a watch
you will see that all the Timbuktu ports available will
close one by one.

If your admin doesn't mind try this against the
machine using timbuktu :

#!/bin/sh

while:
do

        telnet tb2.host.com 1417 &

done


This will cause the timbuktu services to die out.
Simple Enough Kids!
