|    How to handle the port 23 script kiddies    |
|    14 Mar 18 00:41:13    |
      I really do want to keep my port 23 open, so that my users can telnet to my       BBS.               But as most of you probably know, there's a huge operation going on with       hijacked computers trying to connect to other port 23 computers.               Well, if you like me have Argus setup to answer incoming port 23 calls, you       probably know that there's very little double escape character response. So       how do you handle this?               In the Doors setup the only nonprintable character available is the escape       character (a backslash). If character/return had something like that it would       be much easier. But here's how I've done it:               http://felten.se/ny.jpg               Originally I was planning on sending a huge response (as in typing a big       exe-file) but I abandoned that idea since it meant that my system was hanging       after the remote system quickly disconnected.               But the 'type' command does not compute (you need 'cmd type' to make it       work), so the connection swiftly is disconnected.               As always: RFC... 8-)              ..              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://eljaco.se (2:203/2)    |
