You claim my skills are weak? Let's make it a little more fun an interesting shall we? I posted xxt.c on this list a few days back. Attached is a file which I've encrypted using my utility. If my detractors would like to prove what a silly ass I am then they should feel free to reverse the encrypted message into plaintext. I'll post the key in one week so that any third party can verify any claims to have sucessfully decoded the message. Furthermore, I challenge anyone to write a working exploit which would render a root shell when xxt is SUID root. If you succeed I will: 1. Publically acknowledge your victory. 2. Send you $50. If you don't, then I'll consider you full of shit and you can go on posting garbage like what I've already seen, but your credibility will be even lower than it already is (if that is possible). aliver ---1062731517-516028860-1030448125=:184596 Content-Type: APPLICATION/octet-stream; name="message.out" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <Pine.SGI.4.44.0208270435250.184596@hexeris> Content-Description: Encrypted message Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="message.out" YRaQmLRAFGOY3o4LgTvqlRMimH5Aio2qsLALOFF/tgN9WT0KlYAulDll4TRi 46r7FuzeOapvS4ek+riOh0U1bZ3J7+8pNSVS7fUg8n2X0gdUMOxyxAGL+W51 ahbiI36HHKjkiihLywIxJOExOrsL4kpDqr82b1it2ZqbXXBc1XplVKgvKNRF H0NWIIxGfD8aWrgWR08GTQHjDc7/9PV0V+n2BGqzoFAH4GQZT//oLfm44wDQ Uj5NvavdLqFTNv4t1gwTQRZ8KovserSHUVtuIwImpjyTmtjVTXYlLyJ31PgF tlMz4wRp3jR7ch6viey6IFZgWpxULiU4UsTVBZgqtA== ---1062731517-516028860-1030448125=:184596--
