  • Flashterm Socket Server (repost)

    From Fishy to All on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 12:06:34
    I just hacked together a Flash Socket Policy server in .js
    and upped it at bbs.defcon.no and vert

    The "protocol" so so darned simple, the file is to be considered
    public domain.

    (Posting this via vert, because I am unable to set the BBS tagline
    on Defcon BBS because of segfault on Enter.. Need to recompile some day ;)

    So, after a bunch of people asking for an integrated solution for a while
    and nobody posing code, all of a sudden we have two working implements ;)

    Just a Q. Why do you keep the XML as an actual file? Seeing as the only
    things that need to be changed in the XML is allow-access-from
    domain and to-ports, I personally thought it cleaner to keep the XML
    inline in the JS, and not adding a possible local security hole...

    As a Synchronet integrated service? How?

    Well, you can actually launch a static executable via the Synchronet services.
    Probably not the best way, but it can be done... I'd stick with a built in .js version myself.

    you can launch them from the bbs. i think it's preferable to have
    something separate from the bbs handle this, but to each their own.


    how's this .js effect the bbs users? i know nttp/email/ftp/web really
    causes the users on a system to lag.

    I think that's silly.

    Not here. Not at all. The only JS-caused lag I recall hearing about was with Win9x/Me systems.

    The entire protocol/script for delivering the small string to the flash client is *VERY* small... even a 1/4 to 1/2 second lag one time is acceptable here.
