RAW TCP/IP sockets

I just read here
http://www.grc.com/dos/intro.htm
that RAW TCP/IP sockets existed in XP but were removed (as an update) to
prevent malicious use:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS05-019.mspx

I'm curious to know if RAW TCP/IP sockets were also removed from the Windows
2003 Ent. Server?

Hi ,

I'm afraid , yes.

Because MS05-019 also applied to Windows Server 2003.

Thanks.
