-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've created a small proof of concept named "nmapbot" that shows it is possible to use instant messaging as a platform for remote command and control of computer systems. Purpose: - -------- To create a semi-intelligent security bot that uses instant messaging as a platform for receiving commands and returning results. Method: - ------- Using Python, the AOL TOC protocol, Bayesian language processing, and nmap 3.70, I hacked together a little bot that can run nmap and ping. Future editions will include additional commands =) The nmapbot rests squarely on the shoulders of python and projects such as Py-AIML, AIMLBayes, GrokItBot, and Reverend. Many thanks to fyodor et al. for the excellent tool suite in nmap 3.70. If you are interested, you can find source code and documentation for nmap bot at: http://www.sharp-ideas.net Cheers, Abe Usher, CISSP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBYic2T3X9miqOcSQRAtLuAJ9V6yH+aHzs4tRPvVIQhu9jGuDXkQCdEUCZ g33XB8OYyWljCuCNPr1fpe8= =Gg0O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
