anyone here code exploits?

**parksie** · Oct 10th, 2002, 07:34 AM

You mean exploiting weaknesses in software, such as stack smashing and various other forms of input failure?

**vberguY** · Oct 10th, 2002, 07:37 AM

yeah and such as exploits for webserver's pc's , so you can gain root

Cracker.

But no, it's not, anyway

However...intelligent white-hat discussions on *preventing* them are ok, I would think.

Right, Cracker.

But who understands this word parksie? Surely not those kids that call themselves H4X0R5.

And what I wanted to say is that no one that codes exploits would be accepted here, which is another way of answering the original question (Are there any people here that programe exploits?) with No.

I've played around with them, but only as far as small functions and seeing what sort of effect the stack layout has on it. Nothing on big programs, really.

Well, then they're wrong in more ways than one, aren't they. Yes, some hackers will crack a system, but not do any damage. An email to the admins from root describing how you did it is usually enough, I think

Ah, then go away!!!!

Have you read "Coockoo's Egg"?

**parksie** · Oct 11th, 2002, 07:47 AM

Nope. I think I've heard of it though.

Great book. Real story in the early internet time about a cracker, written by a sysadmin who chased him.

**parksie** · Oct 11th, 2002, 12:24 PM

Is it the one mentioning things like honeypots?

Dammit, now I have to go and find it and read it =).

Honeypots? Don't know, but it is the only place I've ever seen the word "bailiwick".

**CornedBee** · Oct 12th, 2002, 08:20 AM

Z: "The Cuckoo's Egg", by Cliff Stoll, ISBN 0-671-72688-9 (my old edition)

**jim mcnamara** · Oct 13th, 2002, 08:03 AM

bailiwick - Irish (gaelic) means neighborhood - but also implies territoriality

**CornedBee** · Oct 13th, 2002, 10:41 AM

I guessed such a thing.

**Zaei** · Oct 16th, 2002, 08:12 PM

B&N was all out of copies when I went tonight... Then again, my total was ~170 anyway =).
