Michael Hayman and Michael Furdyk

Recently both the Windows 95 and NT platforms have been ravaged with a variety of exploits ranging from Denial of Service to IP Nukes. The following procedures patch Windows 95 and NT.

These are the patches for OOBNuke, Winnuke, Jolt, SSPING, IceNuke and TearDrop.


Patches for Microsoft Windows 95

Use the following steps to upgrade to Winsock 2.2 and patch the Internet bugs in Windows 95. Be sure to perform these steps in the order as they appear.

  1. Install the MS DUN 1.2 Upgrade MSDUN12.EXE and reboot.
  2. Install the Winsock 2.2 Upgrade WS2SETUP.EXE and reboot.
  3. Install the Winsock 2.2 Patch VIPUP20.EXE and reboot. This step fixes the IP nukes such as SSPING and Teardrop.
  4. Install the Land patch VTCPUP20.EXE and reboot.
  5. Rename VNBT.386 to VNBT.BAK or use the VNBT.EXE Fix and reboot. This step fixes the WinNuke bug.

Patches for Microsoft Windows NT

  1. Install Service Pack 3 NT4SP3_I.EXE
  2. Install the Bonk, Boink and Teardrop2 patch TEARFIXI.EXE. This patch supercedes the ICMP-fix, OOB-fix, Simptcp-fix and Land hotfixes.
