This is an exploit for the chunked encoding buffer overflow described in MS03-051 and originally reported by Brett Moore. This particular modules works against versions of Windows 2000 between SP0 and SP3. Service Pack 4 fixes the issue.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack overflow in the NetApi32 NetpManageIPCConnect function using the Workstation service in Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2. In order to exploit this vulnerability, you must specify a the name of a valid Windows DOMAIN. It may be possible to satisfy this condition by using a custom dns and ldap setup, however that method is not covered here. Although Windows XP SP2 is vulnerable, Microsoft reports that Administrator credentials are required to reach the vulnerable code. Windows XP SP1 only requires valid user credentials. Also, testing shows that a machine already joined to a domain is not exploitable.

A vulnerability in the Windows kernel can be triggered via SMB in Microsoft Windows versions ranging from Windows 2000 through to Windows 7. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger a kernel pool corruption by sending a specially crafted SMB_COM_TRANSACTION2 request. Successful exploitation of this issue may result in remote code execution with kernel privileges, while failed attempts will result in a denial of service condition.

A vulnerability in Windows DHCP was found on Windows OS versions ranging from Windows 2000 through to Windows server 2003. This vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely overwrite DNS, Gateway, IP Addresses, routing, WINS server, WPAD, and server configuration with no user interaction. Successful exploitation of this issue will result in a remote network configuration overwrite. Microsoft acknowledged the issue but has indicated no plans to publish a patch to resolve it.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack overflow in the NetApi32 CanonicalizePathName() function using the NetpwPathCanonicalize RPC call in the Server Service. It is likely that other RPC calls could be used to exploit this service. This exploit will result in a denial of service on on Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1. A failed exploit attempt will likely result in a complete reboot on Windows 2000 and the termination of all SMB-related services on Windows XP. The default target for this exploit should succeed on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 SP0-SP4+, Windows XP SP0-SP1 and Windows 2003 SP0.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack overflow in the RPCSS service, this vulnerability was originally found by the Last Stage of Delirium research group and has bee widely exploited ever since. This Metasploit module can exploit the English versions of Windows NT 4.0 SP3-6a, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 all in one request :)

This exploits a buffer overflow in the ISAPI ISM.DLL used to process HTR scripting in IIS 4.0. This Metasploit module works against Windows NT 4 Service Packs 3, 4, and 5. The server will continue to process requests until the payload being executed has exited. If you've set EXITFUNC to 'seh', the server will continue processing requests, but you will have trouble terminating a bind shell. If you set EXITFUNC to thread, the server will crash upon exit of the bind shell. The payload is alpha-numerically encoded without a NOP sled because otherwise the data gets mangled by the filters.

Along with Windows 8, Microsoft's Surface RT tablet is here. The slate uses chips that typically power smartphones but Windows runs quite well on it and the hardware is extremely well made and -- dare I say it -- sexy? See for yourself in this early look.

Corrective measures are finally in place. At least the repairs will be free, after users have struggled to get the repairs done over the past few months. And if you have already paid for a repair for this issue, you can get a reimbursement.

There is no right or wrong, With the combination of hardware and software as well as subscriptions that work for you, you'll not get sidetracked every now and then by annoying eccentricities. Things need to simply work and work well.

Minecraft is a deceptively simple video game. You're dropped into a virtual world, and you get to build things. It's like a digital Lego set, but with infinite pieces.

Its simplicity makes it a big hit with kids, like 10-year old Will Davidson. Last year, Will built a Spanish mission for a school report. He modeled his off the Santa Cruz Mission. "I made a chapel over here," Davidson says. "I also have a bell tower."

After he turned in his report, he added a few things. Like skeleton archers. "And zombies ... and exploding things, and spiders, that try to kill you," he said.

Minecraft is popular with kids because they're free to create almost anything, says Ramin Shokrizade, a game designer.

Also, kids aren't manipulated into clicking buttons to buy add-ons within the game. In other games, designers give players a special power for free at first, then take it away and offer it back at a price.

Zynga, the creator of Farmville, calls this fun pain, according to Shokrizade. "That's the idea that, if you make the consumer uncomfortable enough, and then tell them that for money we'll make you less uncomfortable, then [they] will give us money," he says.

Kids, Shokrizade says, are especially susceptible to this — and Minecraft has a loyal following, in part, because it doesn't do it.

Susan Linn, from the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, agrees. She says a big reason she likes Minecraft is because after you purchase the game upfront, that's it.

"Parents don't have to worry that their kids are going to be targeted for more marketing," Linn says. "How forward-thinking!"

But Linn is worried. Microsoft bought Mojang, the company that created Minecraft, on Monday for $2.5 billion, and she says that any time a large company spends billions to acquire a smaller company, executives are bound start looking for new ways to get even more money out of it.
