My new Windows 98 with latest Internet Explorer crashed!?
Baaaaaah! Reinstall Netscape, if you want a safe Inet surfing...
And, let the millions of stupid Explorer users have a crash!
Yes! The mega cool tAmTaM! is proud to present: The Crash Explorer Applet!


This archive contains the ripped sourcecode of the bug, stolen from the
original sample applet by Fabio Ciucci, who discovered the trick:

http://www.anfyjava.com/iebug/

I am sorry Mr. Ciucci, but I love freedom of information, and your
obfuscated applet was so easy to crack ... ;)


This non standard java applet can crash Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
too (in most cases), with Explorer 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 Beta (not 3.0 or older).
It can be included in any web page, or sent via e-mail attachments.
And, Microsoft still hasn't released a fix, update or patch!!!
Isn't this great? Unfortunately can't replicate itself, is a trojan, this
is why the people with a free mind have to spread it by hand in the world,
to change the future of internet. Do it fast, do it today!


I hate Microsoft. I want my sons free from the Corporation.
Plus, I want Java free from Microsoft illegal and bugged manipulations...
Long live the Java, Mozilla, and the legal competition between companies!
I think this bug is a sort of biological revenge of manipulated Java :-)
Please, diffuse those crash applets everywhere on the net, so only who
don't use M$ Internet Explorer will survive.

You find, please, in the /appletz folder, some compiled iecrash applets:
These will all crash or freeze your computer if run in IE 4/5.

microsoft.class     -> Who sells the CRASH BUG
FabioCiucci.class   -> Who discovered the Bug and hidden the sourcecode :)
UseNetscape.class   -> I suggest this, if you want a safe life hehe...
marquee.class       -> An innocent name for an innocent applet...


With the sourcecode included, you can compile applets with any name you
want, and please create some "time-crashbombs" versions, who crashes
after some minutes, so user doesn't understand from what site the applet
was loaded... I made already a part of the job, please do the rest...


Please, spread this archive (and the applets hehe!) via e-mail to all the
addresses you have (the bulk mailers with millions of e-mails are perfect
for crash spam!), to all the alt.binary.* newsgroups, on porn sites, on
IRC channels, everywhere.

If you attach the uncompressed .html and .class files, and user choose to
view the html, the crash is done. A better way, to cause immediate crash
when user opens the applet on M$ mail, is to make a mail who contains
html itself, with the <APPLET> tag call.

Mal bombs was never so powerful :)

And, if you are able to hack, be sure to substitute the homepages of some
stringly visited sites like cnn.com or whitehouse.gov or playboy.com, with
a page containing the immediate crash applet... millions of lame explorer
users will have a crash, isn't this funny?
Unfortunately this is only a trojan, not a virus, so it has to be
spread manually... do it! :o>


Who is tAmTaM!?... Well, I mantain secret my identity, but I can say I am
NOT a child... I am a 30+ years old german software developer.
