Due to an inherent flaw in the RPC service in Microsoft Windows 2000, it is possible to crash RPC services on a Windows 2000 server, thus denying any incoming RPC requests. Sending a specially malformed RPC packet via port 135-139 or 445 to a Windows 2000 server will halt the RPC service entirely. A reboot is required in order to regain normal functionality.
