 anyone direct me as to what

LiFY is actually based on Knoppix. As far as I
remember, Knoppix uses the cheatcode myconfig=scan
or floppyconfig or floppyconf in recent editions.
You can try these cheat codes. LiFY actually does not
tell you as to which edition it is based on, so may be
some hit and trial is required.

[ilugd] (fwd) lftp buffer overflows

lftp buffer overflows
-


PROGRAM: lftp
VENDOR: Alexander V. Lukyanov et al.
HOMEPAGE: http://lftp.yar.ru/
VULNERABLE VERSIONS: 2.3.0, 2.4.9, 2.6.6, 2.6.7, 2.6.8, 2.6.9,
probably all versions inbetween
IMMUNE VERSIONS: 2.6.10, older versions with my patch applied


* PROGRAM DESCRIPTION *


lftp is a sophisticated command line based FTP client. It has a
multithreaded design allowing you to issue and execute multiple
commands simultaneosly or in the background. It also features
mirroring capabilities and will reconnect and continue transfers in
the event of a disconnection. Also, if you quit the program while
transfers are still in progress, it will switch to nohup mode and
finish the transfers in the background. HTTP protocol and FTP over
HTTP proxy are supported. Version 2.3.0 includes HTTPS and FTP over
SSL support.

(direct quote from the program's project page at Freshmeat)

lftp is free software/open source software, published under the
terms of the GNU General Public License.

It is one of the packages or ports in Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux,
Debian GNU/Linux, Slackware Linux, Mandrake Linux, Gentoo Linux,
Conectiva Linux, OpenPKG, Yellow Dog Linux, Openwall GNU/*/Linux
(Owl), ALT Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, among others.


* SUMMARY *


I have found two buffer overflow security problems in lftp. They
both occur when you connect to a web server with lftp using HTTP or
HTTPS, and then use lftp's ls or rels commands on specially
prepared directories on the web server.


* TECHNICAL DETAILS *


Technically, the problem lies in the file src/HttpDir.cc and the
functions try_netscape_proxy() and try_squid_eplf(), which both
have sscanf() calls that take data of an arbitrary length and
store it in a char array with 32 elements. (Back in version 2.3.0,
the problematic code was located in some other function, but the
problem existed back then too.)

Depending on the HTML document in the specially prepared directory,
buffers will be overflown in either one function or the other.


* SESSION CAPTURE *

* SOLVING THE PROBLEM *


You solve this problem by upgrading to 2.6.10 or by applying my

site, not from its homepage.

* Here you will get various cracker that will crack files for you and 
also get tutorials and learn how to crack around 200 - 230 Crackers and

The CD should be named cracking CD. Besides, how much of the stuff 
here falls on the other side? I can understand sniffers and some 
scanners help in security auditing and other areas. But trojans? exploits?

IMHO, this seems like contraband! :)

[ilugd] AutoCAD Drawing Viewer

2003-12-14 Thread Anand Shankar
For a large project, we have a large number of drawings in AutoCAD being
submitted by the vendors for approval. Each file may be typically 2 MB in
size. There may be changes at the approval stage, and some more at
fabrication stage. These drwings are also required in the OM stages as also
helpful in future upcoming projects.

I am searching for a solution whereby all drawings can be catalogued in a
Library Archive, can be searched by keywords, can be viewed in a browser.
Also a way to capture the knowledge generated in the whole process.

Is there any Open Source solution?

A related poblem: The drawings are typically in sections of 3m for large
structures as high as 30m or more in A0 size paper. For a group discussion,
it becomes difficult to view the drawing comfortably, so inevitably a hard
copy is required. Any technical solution for this??
