Short: Secure ARexx finger daemon for AmiTCP Author: phil@stokes.demon.co.uk (Philip Stokes) & fox@ridhughz.demon.co.uk Uploader: fox ridhughz demon co uk (Ridwan Hughes) Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos Arexx Finger Daemon With Connection Logging ------------------------------------------- A simple finger daemon written in ARexx that overcomes the security risks associated with the AmiTCP in.fingerd. All connections to port 79 are also logged to a file. To install, copy this script to AmiTCP:serv/rx.fingerd and make sure that the script bit is set. Change the entry for finger in AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf to read: "finger stream tcp dos bin - rx AmiTCP:serv/rx.fingerd" This script is based in part on a more basic script that I found last year - original author unknown. I have modified it to work correctly with both finger client and telnet connections, and made several other small alterations. Phil --------**Updated to make it 100% secure**-------- I found that this finger daemon wasn't 100% secure so I edited it to make it 100% secure and with a little more logging, it logs the specificuser that someone tries to find information out about when someone fingers specificuser@your.host, also updated to handle the -l (long) protocol that many finger programs can support and if you're using AmIRC it will tell you when someone fingers you.
