CIACTech02-003: Office for Mac X Antipiracy Mechanism Opens Server Ports

Microsoft Office for Macintosh OS X has an antipiracy mechanism that secretly opens network service ports on a Macintosh system and broadcasts version information to other systems on a single subnet. The problem is that open network services provide attack points for intruders and need to be controlled by users.

RA_PICT(1)						      General Commands Manual							RA_PICT(1)

NAME

       ra_pict - convert Radiance pictures to Macintosh PICT files

SYNOPSIS

       ra_pict [ -e +/- stops ] [ -v ] [ -g gamma ] [ infile [ outfile ]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ra_pict	converts a Radiance picture, as produced by rpict (1) to a Macintosh PICT file. The picture will be a 24 bit PICT 2 picture, using
       a single bit map (DirectRect).

OPTIONS

       -g gamma  This sets an explict gamma correction for the image. If it is not specified, the default value of 2.0 is used.

       -v	 Invokes verbose mode, and gives line on standard error giving the size of the picture and the gamma correction used.

       -e +/- stops
		 Adjusts the exposure by stops.

       infile	 Specifies the file to read the picture from. If none is specified, it takes it from standard input. If standard  input  is  used,
		 then the picture is sent to standard output.

       outfile	 Specifies the file to send the PICT file to. If none is specified, it is sent to standard output.

EXAMPLES

	   ra_pict mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the Radiance picture mypict.hdr, giving the Macintosh PICT mypict.pict.

	   ra_pict -g 2.2 mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the file using a gamma of 2.2.

BUGS

       Does  not  yet do Macintosh PICT to Radiance PIC, as this PICT files are a lot more complex than just one bit map. This is left as an exer-
       cise for the reader :-)
