    Over here it was reported that the code was Windows 2000 SP1?

    I would imagine that it would be NT4 SP6a with some add ons?

    Most of it must be "fixes", so it would not take a genius to reverse engineer them and figure out the exploit?

    Just a thought

    The 658MB which has been posted online in a compressed file makes up less than two per cent of the total source code for Windows 2000 and NT.
    How large is the windows source code?...doing math!

    I think that you would have to send c with this file to get this buffer to overflow say the dump value of umm 1000 bits atleast and a letter would probally be used, i think it's more a vunrability that can be exploited by an indervidual from a remote location rather than a web page. atchally no thinking about it thats tosh ignor you could easyily do it through a web site. O the joys of microsoft, but hey this is going to make it one hell of alot stronger in the future by not having to pay for people to find the flaws.
    Who am i to question your motive?
