Attack can disable Windows Firewall

A attacker can send a crafted packet to shut down Microsoft Windows firewall. Not shocking. Microsoft has never been known for security. The attack involves ICS or Internet Connection Serivce.

The attacker would have to be on the local LAN for this to work properly.
