rfp2k01.txt | 7515 | 25154 | Feb 3 12:44:31 2000 |
"How I hacked PacketStorm Forums" - A look at hacking wwwthreads via SQL. This is more of a technical paper than an advisory, but it does explain how I used a vulnerability in the wwwthreads package to gain administrative access and some 800 passwords to PacketStorm's discussion forum. Homepage here. By Rain Forrest Puppy | |||
outblaze.htm | 1970 | 23975 | Feb 23 12:25:20 2000 |
Remote vulnerabilies in the popular free email software Outblaze - By using authentication strings in the URL after logging in to a mailbox, Outblaze-powered e-mail accounts are left vulnerable to unauthorized access. Anyone who discovers that string before a login session expires can gain full access to any Outblaze-powered e-mail account. By including HTML tags in an e-mail message, one can easily obtain the authorization string for a login session. HTML can also be embedded within a subject so that the victim need not even view the e-mail to be vulnerable. By Sozni | |||
css.htm | 1607 | 18590 | Feb 17 11:56:25 2000 |

fw1-ftp.txt | 3871 | 6405 | Feb 10 18:28:46 2000 |
FireWall-1 FTP Server Vulnerability Background Paper #1 - The basic idea of the described attack is to subvert the security policy implemented by a stateful firewall. This is done by triggering the generation of a TCP packet that, when inspected by the firewall, will change the firewall's internal state such that an attacker is able to establish a TCP connection to a filtered port through the firewall. This packet is the server response to a PASV user request during a FTP session. By John McDonald courtesy of Bugtraq | |||

Active server pages (ASP) with runtime errors expose a security hole that publishes the full source code name to the caller. If these scripts are published on the internet before they are debugged by the programmer, the major search engines index them. These indexed ASP pages can be then located with a simple search. The search results publish the full path and file name for the ASP scripts.
