Niraj Tolia commented on THRIFT-1770: ------------------------------------- Mustafa: Yes, that is completely correct. The characters bytes are interpreted as a number and, in particular, as an int. I just dug up the code and this is what FrameBuffer.read() in 0.9 has: {code} // pull out the frame size as an integer. int frameSize = buffer_.getInt(0); {code} So, if you convert "asdf" to binary, it gives you "0110 0001 0111 0011 0110 0100 0110 0110", which is 1634952294 in decimal. > Killing a thrift 0.8 server with telnet > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1770 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1770 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: oliver z > Priority: Critical > > I have a thrift 0.8 server running which is very easy to kill from outside of > the network.
