PoC Code Published for Triggering an Instant BSOD on All Recent Windows Versions

A Romanian hardware expert has published proof-of-concept code on GitHub that will crash most Windows computers within seconds. The code exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft’s handling of NTFS images and was discovered by Marius Tivadar, a security researcher with Bitdefender. Microsoft declined to classify the issue as a security bug after it was downgraded to a ‘social engineering’ exploit. The expert’s PoC still works today, against the latest Windows 10 version, v1803 – the April 2018 Update.
