littlenick,

i don't care whether it is patched or not i just want to learn
Well you ought to care. If the machine is patched then the exploit won't work, and if it is your primary computer that you use to access the net it certainly should be patched. Or you will certainly learn.......the hard way!!!

You need to get yourself an old box, PI/PII or even a later 486. Load an UNPATCHED version of an OS such as Win NT4 or Win98. Then try your experiments. Then gradually apply the patches and see what they do.

You certainly don't want to be doing this sort of research on your main machine............things can go wrong.
