I'd hope that this is obvious to most. It's not a good idea to send an "unknown" payload to a system which you do not own. The link I gave shows what the tool this script is based on (well, essentially is) does. It's downright dishonest to post this here under the guise of an obfuscated JAPH Update: Fixed typo, additional text.	[reply]

Hi marto I'd hope that this is obvious to most. It's not a good idea to send an "unknown" payload to a system which you do not own. The link I gave shows what the tool this script is based on (well, essentially is) does. It's downright dishonest to post this here under the guise of an obfuscated JAPH Yeah, it was obvious without running the "obfuscation" that it opens a Socket and talks on it What is not obvious is why that should be reaped You offered a link as a reason to reap, but the link is also obfuscated :) it doesn't explain the reasoning The posting qualifies under ?node_id=237057#obfu The current guidelines say To reap a highly offensive posting Reap -- Please only do this for true troll posts and true duplicate posts. reapage is not for useless, stupid, off-topic, and annoying nodes: ignore them Obscure quite graphic material or material inviting legal action So , where does sending unknown payloads to systems you don't own fall? I think it falls under stupid/annoying... Consider simple eval Considered by idsfa: "Delete: Network based system exploit"! Final vote: (keep/edit/delete) = 6/4/21. Unconsidered by davido: Keep and Edit votes were sufficient to block reaping. Caveat Emptor. Consider Re: perl Tk help and Re^2: How should Perlmonks deal with Plagiarism? (legalese) Hi marto	[reply]

Point taken, it won't happen again. In my defence I felt pressured to do this quickly. A senior monk had mentioned in the CB that some investigation should be done to determine what this code does, in addition to this I couldn't be as verbose as I should have due to parenting issues. I did manage to discuss the issue in some detail in the CB a short while after raising the consideration.	[reply]

Well, I actually thought it would be a fun exercise to de-obfuscate. There was no malicious intent. It actually works just fine and doesn't do anything wrong. But yeah, that does make sense about the "unknown" payload. Sorry if that offended anyone. I'll be more careful in the future.	[reply]

I want to know exactly what this program does. Please document it, here. It is hard for an emptor to caveat without knowing these details. Thanks!	[reply]
