"Blast from the past!"
I wanted to bug check a server. We used to use pskill to kill wininit. That doesn't seem to take down a WS 2016 box, so I'm using the wlh binary of this with psexec instead. Thanks guys!

"thanks!"
Similar small utility was previously included in the Sysinternal Suite, yet now for unknown reason it was withdrawn--and here is a good replacement!

"OSRBang does not bang"
I tried running OSRBANG.EXE (v2.1) on a nearly frozen Windows 2008 R2 machine. It acts as it is trying to do something, but then terminates with no BSOD. I tried both the WLH and the WNET AMD64 builds. Are there some conditions that would prevent if from doing its magic?

"Still works 8.1 tablet"
Getting out a keyboard to cause a bluescreen is a pain with a tablet, thanks for making memory dumping so easy :)

"XP SP3"
Can I use this in WinXP SP3?
Because I'm getting this error "System Administrator privileges are required to run this app" when I try to run the osrbang.exe file.

"RE: BANG utility"
The wnet AMD64 version should work for S03 x64.

"remote command line usage for windows 2003 server"
Hello,
What is the remote command line usage to crash the system remotely on windows 2003 server sp2? When I try to run osrbang.exe -s, I get "unable to load and start bang driver?"
Thanks. Stuart

"WNET is srv 2003"
I just looked in the Zip file and WNET is included. This is the srv2003 image distribution...

"bang reg hack?"
Don't get me wrong.. but i believe there's a reg hack for this... This way you can crash your system by holding the right control and double pressing scroll-lock.
Change the following DWORD value in the windows registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters\CrashOnCtrlScroll = 1
