Netcat can grab files from the web, and you can pretty much always just cat from the console to a file (or use echo -e if the console doesn't support 8-bit). It maybe akward, but it works. Kind of like "echo *" when your ls command is broken (yes, I've been there!). I don't stay awake at night worrying about such things, but if someone has root on your box, they can do pretty much anything they want (at least within the limits of the hardware), even if you don't have the tools readily available. I.e: They might hack your firewall and install a P2P warz server, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to serve up 200 GB of pr0n and pirated mp3's if you've only got 128 Meg of RAM and a 1.44 MB floppy attached to the system. :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHkNyYLywbqEHdNFwRAl+QAKD5TSyDUQUDzXM3f1l2ACgmrS4sHQCfWQRp /BxN8+hgE70yQnCIEfkIM/s= =TOw2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
