- ** T.A.G. 2.5g System Patch **
- ******************************
-
- The following patch fixes two security problems for T.A.G. Version 2.5g.
- The first patch in this file should only be used with version 2.5g, while
- the second will operate on any version of T.A.G. after the protocol editor
- was added.
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------
- Patch #1
- Elimination of the Local Directory Archive Testing
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- WARNING: Should only be used with Version 2.5g
-
- NOTE: Global archive testing will still function normally.
-
- To run this patch, place the included patch25g.exe file in the directory
- with your TAG.OVR file. Then simply type "patch25g" and the corrections
- will be written to the TAG.OVR file. This patch can be executed multiple
- times with no ill effects.
-
- Once run, LOCAL directory archive testing (ZIPFT.BAT, ARCFT.BAT, LZHFT.BAT,
- and PAKFT.BAT) will no longer be available. Please note that the global
- archive testing files (located in the Main BBS Directory (C:\BBS)) will
- still function normally. This patch only effects special testing on a per
- section basis. We hope to introduce a more secure method of doing this in
- the future.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- Patch #2
- Adding the "restrict" Option to DSZ Batch Uploads
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: These changes should only be made to DSZ Batch ** UPLOAD **
- Protocols.
-
- To add the "restrict" option to the DSZ batch upload protocols, perform the
- following steps:
-
- 1. Place the file "cdd.exe" in either your Main BBS Directory (C:\BBS) or
- a directory accessible from the DOS PATH.
-
- 2. Place the file "dszbatul.bat" in your Main BBS Directory (C:\BBS) with
- your "protocol.bat" file.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 3. Modify all batch upload protocols to call the new "dszbatul.bat" file
- with the following parameter format:
-
- dszbatul [UL Directory] [Current Dir]\dsz <****>
-
- <****> = Remaining parameters for the corresponding DSZ batch
- upload protocol, not including the final [UL Directory]
- parameter.
-
- Included here are uploads strings necessary for YModem, YModem-G, and
- ZModem batch uploads. Please note that the items identified in []'s
- are NOT typed in. These protocol replacement strings are entered by
- pressing Control-P followed by specific key. The keys used for the
- protocols below are as follows:
-
- Control-P U - [UL Directory]
- Control-P C - [Current Dir]
- Control-P P - [Port]
-
- See the T.A.G. Main Documentation for information on other protocol
- replacement strings is they are necessary for your system.
-
- Only option "7", (U)L string has been modified.
-
- NOTE: These upload strings assume you have your DSZ protocol
- engine in the Main BBS Directory (C:\BBS) (Notice the
- "[Current Dir]\dsz"). If you have DSZ in another directory,
- please specify the complete path in place of "[Current
- Dir]".
-
- ** YModem Batch Upload **
-
- 7. (U)L string :
- "dszbatul [UL Directory] [Current Dir]\dsz port [Port] restrict rb"
-
- ** YModem-G Batch Upload **
-
- 7. (U)L string :
- "dszbatul [UL Directory] [Current Dir]\dsz port [Port] restrict rb -g"
-
-
- ** ZModem Batch Upload **
-
- 7. (U)L string :
