I remember doing this! I remember graduating to the more nefarious “Microsoft’s IPX implementation responds to broadcast pings”. It might have been this CVE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securityb...

Luckily I went to a school that believed in redirecting the (endless) time and (boundless) energy of obnoxious nerds like me, and I spent far more time helping out than breaking things. Or at least I hope… the long tail on the IPX ping was pretty painful to stop.
