`/*
* IBM AIX 5l FTPd Remote DES Hash Exploit -- Advanced 'Datacenter' Edition :>
*
* Should work on IBM AIX 5.1,5.2,5.3! probably on 4.X too
*
* bug found & exploited by Kingcope
*
* Version 2.0 - July 2010
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Description: -
* The AIX 5l FTP-Server crashes when an overly long NLST command is supplied -
* For example: NLST ~AAAAA...A (2000 A´s should be enough) -
* The fun part here is that it creates a coredump file in the current -
* directory if it is set writable by the logged in user. -
* The goal of the exploit is to get the DES encrypted user hashes -
* off the server. These can be later cracked with JtR. -
* This is accomplished by populating the memory with logins of the user -
* we would like the encrypted hash from. Logging in three times with the -
* target username should be enough so that the DES hash is included in the -
* 'core' file. -
* The FTPd banner looks like below. -
* 220 AIX5l FTP-Server (Version 4.1 Tue May 29 11:57:21 CDT 2001) ready. -
* 220 AIX5l FTP server (Version 4.1 Wed Mar 2 15:52:50 CST 2005) ready. -
