Reverse Utils::TCP-over-HTTP/CGI Release information: pkg: rutil_tcpcgi version 0.1.17 url: http://www.rkeene.org/devel/rutil_tcpcgi-0.1.17.tar.gz date: Thu Jan 1 10:22:42 CST 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Q: Passwords!? Authentication!? A: Why delude yourself? Adding a layer of obscurity like a password sent clear-text across the network is no more secure than renaming the CGI executable to azFFl.cgi (other than the name is likely logged where the password is not, but the people with the logs could easily get the password anyway) 2. Q: Why not HTun (http://htun.runslinux.net/) ? This project is redundant! A: While HTun would be useful in some situations, it might not be applicable to others, for example, HTun requires you to be root on both ends of the connection. HTun also requires a little more effort to setup. However, if you need a full IP connection, HTun will be better for you. 3. Q: Why not SOHT (Sockets Over HTTP) ? This project is redundant! A: Sockets Over HTTP (SOHT) is written in Java and requires a substantial amount more effort to setup if you don't already have the infrastructure for it in place. Also, this software is or will be compatible with SOHT. Please send any further questions to me (Roy Keene )
