Sure!
Have an improperly configure firewall
Have someone send an email or put a link on a web page that has you machine
try to connect to a netbios connection on the Internet
You machine by default will send a LM hash of you password - this get's

Joe takes up to a few days to crack the hash

buffer overflow your box and create my own admin acct :-)
