It will return success but will be ignored by the process. CTRL_BREAK is the only one that works. Doesn't really matter since they will both call ExitProcess() in the end. (EDIT by me: In our specific case, we reimplemented the handler so sig_handle_abort_ctrl() will be called before)

Mathieu, I'm not sure you have been exhaustive enough in assertions regarding the exploitation of the CTRL_ events.
What we know:
1. We can signal CTRL_ events to JtR on Windows with GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent. (#ifdef'ed of course) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683155(v=vs.85).aspx
2. We can ignore CTRL_ events in Johnny by doing:
" • Calling SetConsoleCtrlHandler with the NULL and TRUE arguments causes the calling process to ignore CTRL+C signals. This attribute is inherited by child processes, but it can be enabled or disabled by any process without affecting existing processes." https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686016(v=vs.85).aspx <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686016(v=vs.85).aspx>
3. We can re-enable CTRL_ events back in JtR. Simple patch to core.
4. Verify in signals.c that JtR does indeed kill itself upon doing that for Windows.
5. Hail that we don't have --fork there.
Let's focus on CTRL_C_EVENT until we have reason to do otherwise.
