UNIX passwords use crypt(3), a modified DES.

ssh + GNU win32 = !!!
by Martin Hamilton 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

There's a first stab at that Win32 port of ssh that I've been promising up for FTP at: <URL:ftp://ftp.net.lut.ac.uk/martin/ssh-win32/> It's not pretty, but it does just about work - though cf. the list of caveats in the README. I'll have a go at making this more of a clean port and less of a quick hack after the New Year :-) In the meantime, consider this: the Cygnus port of the GNU developers tools will let you build DLLs. And it's free, of course... Should make building PGP as a DLL a reasonable proposition, methinks - <URL:http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32/> for more info. Merry Xmas! Martin

Please take down your instant mailbomb Web page immediately

Jesus Christ, Chuq, are you incompetent at *everything* you set your hand to? Your plaidworks.com ListAdmin Web page (http://www.plaidworks.com/ListAdmin/) is an open invitation to troublemakers to mailbomb. Gee, maybe I should root around plaidworks and see if I can find other security holes. Wouldn't it be fun if I could find a way to stuff the Nebula ballot box . . . ? ;-) If you wish to respond to this, please do it from another site than plaidworks.com, as I am immediately telling procmail to bounce all mail originating from that site: # # #Toss email from rogue sites # # # # Plaidworks # :0 * ^(From|To|Received|Message-ID):.*plaidworks\.com.* { EXITCODE = 67 :0 /dev/null } * ^(From|To|Recieved|Message-ID):.*207.167.80.66 { EXITCODE = 67 :0 /dev/null } > Return-Path: <cypherpunks-errors(a)toad.com> > Received: from toad.com (toad.com [140.174.2.1]) by mail6.netcom.com (8.6.13/Netcom) > id MAA17062; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 12:02:55 -0800 > Received: (from majordom@localhost) by toad.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id LAA24977 for cypherpunks-outgoing; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 11:08:35 -0800 (PST) > Received: from plaidworks.com (plaidworks.com [207.167.80.66]) by toad.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id LAA24972 for <cypherpunks(a)toad.com>; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 11:08:31 -0800 (PST) > From: listproc(a)plaidworks.com > Received: from ([127.0.0.1]) by plaidworks.com (8.6.9/A/UX 3.1) with SMTP id LAA27991 for <cypherpunks(a)toad.com>; Thu, 26 Dec 1996 11:09:13 -0800 > Date: Thu, 26 Dec 1996 11:09:13 -0800 > Message-Id: <199612261909.LAA27991(a)plaidworks.com> > Reply-To: listproc(a)plaidworks.com > To: cypherpunks(a)toad.com > Subject: WHICH > X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0 -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas > X-Comment: Boston University ListProcessor > Sender: owner-cypherpunks(a)toad.com > Precedence: bulk > X-Newsgroups: alt.security.cypherpunks > > cypherpunks(a)toad.com: You are subscribed to the following lists; > if none appear, you are not subscribed to any: > MINORS > MINORS-SCORES > IHL > BAY-AREA-HOCKEY > ROLLER-HOCKEY-INTL > WOMEN-IN-HOCKEY > GIANTS > GIANTS-TICKETS > BASEBALL-CHAT > SHARKS > SHARKS-TICKETS > SHARKS-CHAT > HOCKEY-CHAT > DALLAS-STARS > LA-KINGS > ONLINE-DRIVE > PIT-PENGUINS > MAPLE-LEAFS > OTT-SENATORS > PHX-COYOTES > BHAWKS-L > COL-AVALANCHE > HOCKEY-COACHES > HOCKEY-REFEREES > CAL-FLAMES > OAK-ATHLETICS > HOCKEY-PLAYERS > > -- Alan Bostick | I'm not cheating; I'm *winning*! mailto:abostick@netcom.com | Emma Michael Notkin news:alt.grelb | http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~abostick
