FRIDAY COMPETITION NOTES: shell wrapper

[wert...@gmail.com]

Hey everyone,


COMPETITION NOTES:

Just so everyone knows, we will be wrapping your program using netcat.

the command that will be used (specifically) will be as follows: nc --exec=./yourprogram host port
an example may be "nc --exec=./a.out localhost 1337"

note to people trying to use netcat from home: the --exec option needs to be activated... If this is not activated, you need to recompile it with the option -DGAPING_SECURITY_HOLE, or find a binary where this option is activated. Don't worry, it's easy to compile otherwise.

the exact commands needed (bash) are:

CFLAGS=-DGAPING_SECURITY_HOLE ./configure
make
make install

Pretty funny, huh? This isn't a joke.

Also, please post what OS you are planning on running your stuff under..

Thanks,

--Nick

Hey, I know I said I would be competing tonight but something came up
at work and between that and homework I have been unable to finish my
AI, looking forward to finding out the winner though.
