Seeing as my primary area of coding is vulnerability scan automation I tend to crash a lot of things. Central web services, DNS servers, Document Repo's, Data taking systems. I've killed them all. Each time I do it I have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to be kinder and more gentle to the systems on the network. My Favorite is scanning for anonymously writable FTP daemons. I get a lot of complaints from users that their printers are spitting out lovely notes from me.
