[SLUG] DOS attacks

Gee's all this talk about DOS attacks... I remember a good one for MS-DOS... when the user isn't looking walk up and press CTRL-P on a computer that doesen't have a printer attached whilst at the DOS prompt. [Hint: CTRL-P redirects console output to printer... except there isn't one so it prints

Well that would get you a linux (probably bash) prompt at least. For a dos prompt you will have to download and install freedos and dosemu. :-) that is unless you have been really keen with Cygwin and got KDE running on windows :) dave > Call an xterm shell from the Panel. > > On Thu, 7 Mar 2
