I know that reverse shells are used by trojans for ages. http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ssh_tunnelling.html has a handy description of this is configured with standard openSSH. READ: How do I get to log in on machine A from home with SSH, by making A connect to me (rather vice versa). Monday, August 23, 2004
Fun tools (word doc analysis, file attribute changer)
(2) comments
Just came across two free-for-personal-use fun tools at snapfiles.com DocScrubber - let's you view and remove hidden (potentially embarassing/revealing) information in .doc files. Attribute Changer - a nice tool that allows you to change many file attributes, incl. the "modified date". (I needed this to rectify a digital picture gallery) Wednesday, August 18, 2004

I just came across a posting a Dana Epp's blog about rumours of collisions in several hash functions. See more at http://silverstr.ufies.org/blog/archives/000670.html (also mentions RIPEMD .. which would be bad) - I think I'll just wait for Bruce Schneier's next cryptogram. |
