What browser did you look at my homepage to see only my HTML codes ? I
could view its output from my windows 98 and XP by old Netscape 4.5 to
7.1 or IE 6.0. This srcipt run OK on Linux 7.1 server.
Why do you think he couldn't view the page in his browser? He didn't say
that.
But when looking at the source code of that page apparently he noticed so
many defects that any sane browser should have refused to display that page.
Please (assuming that the quoted text is an actual excerpt from the HTML
document), go back to basics and learn HTML first before trying anything
else.
Just those four lines contain half a dozen mistakes.
I am having a better version of this type of Perl, and will invite you
to look at it again in the near fututre, if you have time.
You will have a better version of Perl? Really?
I could read a file in drive A of my computer from cgi-bin Telnet by
having this line in my CGI Perl script:
print "<iframe src =\"file:///A:\FileNmae.txt"></iframe>";
Who is "I"?
- I as in the user, i.e. the person in front of the computer? Well, no need
for HTML or Perl or CGI or anything. That "I" can just read any file on any
drive using Notepad or whatever editor I like.
- I as in the web browser, that is running on the users computer? Well, a
program run by a user has the same access as the user himself. A no-brainer.
- I as in a CGI script on some web server? BS, not possible. There is no way
for a web server to read anything from a clients computer (let's ignore
security bugs for the sake of this discussion).
The reason that I like to write to drive A: or other removable drive,
from CGI as a select option: I like to keep my file private from
SVCHOST.EXE which has RPC calls to do Remote things from windows, they
did remotely turned off my microphone at audio chatroom by RPC and
network problem, among other commands from Paltak.
Who is "they"? A wild guess: the admins of your organization, maybe? Then
you may want to check if what you are trying to do does not violate the
organizations policies.
So any hacker can
read my file from another windows OS, even if they know my password
from camera and other methods or not, someday, they might delete or
copy my file from another PC.
Ok, there are two answers:
- If a hacker can access your computer (remotely), then you didn't do your
homework securing your computer. Period. That is solely your own fault and
has nothing to do whatsoever with SVCHOST, or CGI, or HTML, or Perl or any
other issue mentioned in this tedious thread
- Some people may point out that part of your problem is your OS and that
other OSes have less security flaws.
I am hoping that you will have time to view my other output in near
future. I am learning about server as you suggested.
I strongly suggest you go back and take a few additional classes about the
basics of computing and how the WWW works before coming back. Maybe I am
wrong, but you seem to be missing so much very basic knowledge that it is
difficult to even guess where you got stuck. And a newsgroup about Perl is
definitely not the right place for trying to figure it out.
As far as I am concerned: I won't read you any more. Don't take it personal,
but it's just not worth my time.
