Just moving this to vuln-dev before the bugtraq admin eats us.
I've seen similar 'things' to what your referring to.. I understand what
you mean by using NetBIOS's replies to takedown a host or two.
Back a while ago on the list, someone pointed out that games such as
'Battlefield 1942', which utilise GameSpy on UDP, could easily be used
to attack hosts when sending a <100 byte packet would result in a 2K
reply.
Guess Microsoft has some more patching to do.
