ml>> uuuggghhh... and here i sit behind injoy v2.0b with
ml>> nothing else between that box and the net... have that
ml>> apache/2 1.3.22 server running and a couple of
ml>> aliasmatch statements in httpd.conf to at least send
ml>> something i want to send back... in fact, my stuff has
ml>> a bit more output than many because i fully expect
ml>> that some stuff may be being sent manually by a person
ml>> attempting to hack in themselves...

ML> Interesting.

what's interesting? the part about me just using injoy v2.0b or the part about
manually keying those URLs?

FWIW: it is the manual keying of those URLs that allows one to begin to
"counter-attack"... if on of those /c+dir commands returns a directory listing,
then the system security is compromised enough to get a start at beating the
nasty down... but it does require the use of other tools and accessing the
system via additional means... on a windows box, start->run and entering

 \\ip.number.of.machine\c$

will gain you access to the compromised system's c$ share... one can also do
the same for the \ipc$ share... this only works if that security stuff is
compromised like the webserver's security has been... once one can access the
\c$ (or whatever$) on a windows box, it's all GUI from there, pretty much...
one can drag'n'drop anything from either machine to anywhere else... hehe, a
"funny" i did one time was to copy files that i had created from one
compromised box to another compromised box... i did that only just to see if it
would work... i highly suspected it would and was rewarded for my efforts

ml>> here's those aliasmatch statements...

ML> Snipped for bandwidth but put into the keep and learn how to
ML> do this!

ml>> you might also find this one useful...

ML> Ditto.

you're welcome <<GG>>

ml>>  RedirectMatch (.*).ico$ http://www.microsoft.com$1.ico

ml>> # That one liner above will redirect all ".ico" request from
ml>> # your server to the Microsoft server. Now you'll be letting
ml>> # their damm server deal with the errors and bandwidth. It
ml>> # will NOT interupt your traffic at all! If MS is going to
ml>> # request files from your server, it's only appropriate that
ml>> # they deal with the problems they cause...

ML> Mmm . Mint Cookies, saved in notebook!  Gee how little I know,
ML>  And I never really wanted to .. oh well.  Such is life! ;)

hehehe, i know that feeling... the more i dig into the webserver stuff,
especially apache, the more i want to try to create a bbs loadable module for
it... however, i don't have the time or the drive (sadly) as i once did... not
to mention that after 20+ years of being involved in the computer industry, i'm
in the process of a major career change... seems that driving a tractor-trailer
rig can net me more than double anything i've made working in the industry all
these years and with a whole lot less stress... i just hope that boredom
doesn't set in as it has with computers and lead to a burnout situation like
i've had to deal with over the last few years... one can only answer the same
question so many times before one explodes...

[chomping here to carry rest to another message due to the length that some of
these have been getting to. it's a human thing rather than a technical thing
