It's the google search that told me it had to do with attacking DOS and that blue death screen. I'm still reading along... or will be soon. I have to feed my daughter and me some lunch first.

I didn't know that if you're using Windows that you wouldn't have DOS though. That would mean that DOS is like an operating system of it's own then, right?

Edited:
I've misunderstood what I've read before. Newtear attacks Windows95 and NT 4.0.
The "Blue Screen of Death" is when your computer runs in panic mode. (Never experienced that I don't think). Newtear is a variation of another attack called Teardrop.

Edit 2:
Is DOS and Denial of Service the same thing? This is where my previous confusion lies. They're writing "Denial of Service" as DoS.
