RE: Re: IRCXpro 1.0 - Clear local and default remote admin passwords

[Mads Tansø <azmodan () linux online no>]

Concerning point 1;
It is not usual for irc servers to store clear passwords in the
IRCD.config files. Hybrid uses hashed password made with mkpasswd,
genesis uses rijndael, nnircd for a sample uses some kinda of hash
(based on ircd2 if I don’t remember to wrong). Using encrypted passwords
are not cause of remote or local users, its just IF the server should
get hacked it is not good to let the ircd.conf reveal the passwords.
This also goes for linkpasswords.
Imho the c/n's should also be a crypted line, but then again, that’s my
oppinion.

:)

Az.

remote admin passwords

To whom it concerns,

Regarding the vulnerability in the advisory for IRCXpro 1.0

They are of minuscule threat and not worth the attention.

Vulnerability(s):
1. Local clear passwords

Our Reply: It is common place for all IRC Server applications to store
clear
passwords in the IRCD.config files.  The nature of the program is for it
to
be used by Remote Users, NOT local ones.

2. Remote default admin enabled
Our Reply: The user is prompted before the server starts for the first
time
to set their own Operator Name and Password during the Initial Wizard
for
their administrator account.  (See initial.gif file attachment)

The fragment >> Serv.LogonSettings "LocalHost", 7100, "admin",
"password" <<
is from a sample .ASP page found in the IRCXpro SDK (Software
Development
Kit).  In order for this sample to work, the real operator name and
password
needs to be inserted before being placed on IIS (Internet Information
Services).
