Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I found some code in a user's home directory today that is apparently intended to cause a buffer overflow. I was looking because I found out that he'd tried to break into another system. Needless to say, that user can no longer log into my machine. Would anyone be willing to take a look at this code and tell me what it does? I am trying to determine whether there's a chance that my system is compromised. I'll mail it to you offline. The file is called pppt.c. Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
