    I found a zero day in a security vendor's firewall software that allows you to remotely crash the entire system by sending it a single malicious packet. Since the firewall is responsible for inspecting traffic prior to the operating system handling it, no ports even need to be open for it to work.

              @malwaretech reminds me of the 1990s (?) dirt-simple exploit whereby you could crash a Windows machine merely by sending it any OOB packet. Yes, I tried it and it worked. I later saw code for it in an exhibit of various exploits at Madrid's Reina Sofia art museum. Cool exhibit.

                  @malwaretech I wonder how much more difficult it is now to report vulnerabilities now that everyone is using “AI” to generate so much crap.

                      @malwaretech Oh, but before I go crazy here, does it manage to log the source of the packet before crashing? 😜
