Anybody want to talk about Dirty Cow?
Hi All,
How worried is everyone about the Dirty Cow Linux exploit? Has anybody experienced attacks yet?
From the research I've done it seems that the exploit is "reliable" (that is it works nearly every time on vulverable systems) which is not good news.
We all believe that Unix/Linux systems are so much more secure than Windows because they're not targeted in the same way.
Q: Anybody have up to date knowledge as to which distros have now been patched and which are still at risk?
Thanks,
Dennis.

I am creating a small bash file that will take one argument and compile it:
#!/bin/bash
OUT=${$1%.cpp} # C++ source files always end in .cpp
g++ -Wall $1 -o $OUT
chmod 777 $OUT The error message says 'bad substitution', namely where OUT is defined. How to fix this? (1 Reply)

THEMOLE(1) General Commands Manual THEMOLE(1)
NAME
themole - automatic SQL injection exploitation tool
SYNOPSIS
themole [ -h ] [ -u url ] [ -n needle ] [-t num_threads]
DESCRIPTION
The Mole is a command line interface SQL Injection exploitation tool. This application is able to exploit both union-based and blind bool-
ean-based injections.
Every action The Mole can execute is triggered by a specific command. All this application requires in order to exploit a SQL Injection is
the URL(including the parameters) and a needle(a string) that appears in the server's response whenever the injection parameter generates a
valid query, and does not appear otherwise.
OPTIONS
-h Shows the help message and exits.
-u url Sets the url of the mole's instance to url.
-n needle
Sets the needle of the mole's instance to needle. It must be a string that appears when the injection returns true and disappears
when the injection is false.
-t threads
Sets the max number of concurrent requests that the mole will be making. Cannot be changed at runtime.
SEE ALSO
The program provides interactive documentation, refer also to the official README file.
