Hi!
> TERMINAL EMULATOR SECURITY ISSUES
> Copyright 2003 Digital Defense Incorporated
I played related joke on my friends,
telling them to
telnet host 1234
and login with
secret
#r_f#_m -r _g_/
(of coursed it set terminal to black/black
and disconnected after printing "Password:".)
Not permiting black-on-black-type
color combinations should help this.
Also terminals have various answerback
sentences. On localhost it is easy to
exploit any such thing.
(Create README file and xtermls executable
in some directory. Make README ask
xterm for answerback and hope user
will do ls after cat-ing README. Ouch.)
