(* MAKEA.PAS - A Turbo Pascal Program for testing Fidonet echomail security *)
(* *)
(* This program was written and tested in Turbo Pascal 7, it should compile *)
(* fine in TP5.5 and 6 if that's what you have. This file should compile *)
(* right "out of the box" without modification; if it doesn't you might have *)
(* a hacked or corrupted copy. *)
(* *)
(* This program aids in testing the security of echomail systems in Fidonet *)
(* by creating a valid ZIP archive echomail packet. This packet appears *)
(* relatively innocuous at about 100k in size (typical for many echomail *)
(* systems) but it contains PKT files which expand to a megabyte apiece. *)
(* Up to 100 of these 1 meg files will be created, if the target system's *)
(* hard drive has enough space. Fortunately, only one 1MB file is created *)
(* on your system when you run the program. You should have 1.5 MB free. *)
(* *)
(* To test the security of another system, take the following steps: *)
(* *)
(* (1) Compile and run this program. It will create a packet file calling *)
(* PKZIP.EXE (if found on your path). This operation will take several *)
(* minutes, depending on the speed of your system. *)
(* *)
(* (2) File-attach the file to the target system. It is very important *)
(* that you use your own mailer with all your addresses intact and that you *)
(* not use Caller-ID blocking, so that the target sysop knows that this is *)
(* only a test and not an actual attack by a crasher. *)
(* *)
(* That's it. If the target system's echomail processor is insecure, there *)
(* will be up to 100 megs of .PKT files in the target's echomail directory. *)
(* If you are worried you might fill the target's hard disk during this *)
(* test, you should modify the program so as to decrease the number of files *)
(* added to the packet or the size of those files. A larger number of small *)
(* files will result in a larger packet size, and unfortunately, a higher *)
(* likelihood that the test will *completely* fill the hard drive should the *)
(* target be careless enough not to have 100 megs free. And of course, NEVER*)
(* send such a packet to someone who is unaware that you are conducting a *)
(* security test or at a time when the target sysop is unlikely to be *)
(* present to delete the .PKT files! *)
(* *)
(* This program is presented in source form because: *)
(* *)
(* - this way you know for sure it has no virii or trojan surprises *)
(* *)
(* - you can totally reconfigure it or add features *)
(* *)
(* - it's free and I don't care who hacks it up or how *)
(* *)
(* - a real hacker has at least the minimal programming skill needed to *)
(* compile a pascal program! *)
