DCC SEND LOLLERCOPTER

There were a few others, but that's the one i remember. the part after DCC SEND doesn't matter as long as it was longer than 8 characters i think it was.

It was a bug in Linksys, Netgear routers that rebooted the device.

bug report e.g. http://colloquy.info/project/ticket/531

DCC SEND startkeylogger or such combined both exploits. Ah, I had quite a fun with that a couple of years back.

IIRC it still bites a couple of people on Freenode, but the most networks have auto-kick bots in place for these scriptkiddies.

I had a modem that would disconnect if someone typed: ATH0++ in IRC.
