XPSP2 will limit your max. connections/sec *Part 2*

Published by

Hi.

I am the Anonymous who wrote the first article.

First of all, the "possible fix" from bink.nu is not working. Sorry guys.

I just received an email from the MS-guy. He told me that the limitation is implemented in the TCP/IP stack and you would need to rewrite the tcpip.sys to switch it off. So a simple registry mod won`t do it.

This doesn`t surprise me much cause it`s no deal for any worm to just modify the registry and spread around like before.

I just tried the tcpip.sys from XPSP1a but as you can think, it ended with WinXP refused to boot....

Sorry for the bad news but I think we have to see if it is still present in the final XPSP2.

I have the bad feeling it will be cause the first time i discovered this was in Build 20XX so they should have had enough time to realise the heavy slowdown of some programs (mainly P2P)...
