rwho and cousins are a security risk
No, I don't have a specific vulnerability in mind. And certainly, if you are in learning mode you should experiment all you want.
rwho and cousins are a security risk
One must remember though just because the daemon itself doesn't have a vulnerability ( or at least one known ) doesn't mean that its generally safe to run the service. You also have to understand what information is being leaked because of the service. For example rwhod one can get uptime information but as well login information. So I can get usernames on your machine of active people. |
