Blah, I just checked the firewall and it was [dumbass] configured to allow ports 1-1024 through, so contrary to what I initially believed, any number of services could have been the source of the crash. And since Cybercop costs $$$, I'm not going to try and reproduce this at this time, but I suspect it was a buffer overflow attack. I have, however, re-configured the firewall. Suspect Cybercop somehow exploited the 4M page Athlon problem. Having since added mem=nopentium, crashes have not recurred. |
