There's no difference between the people who ran AW when the company that
owned it was called AWC and the people who run AW now, under the
companyname AWI. In a way, you could say that AWC was the outer shell of
AWI, and that AWI existed all along, inside AWC. What happened last year
was just that AWI "shedded" AWC.

Tip: reset the log file every time you start AW. Personally I use a simple
batch program:

==startaw.bat==
at echo off
del aworld.log
start aworld.exe
==end-of-file==

Just make your shortcuts to AW point to the startaw.bat file instead of the
aworld.exe (must be in the main AW directory or it won't work).

In any case, I have to delete it myself every time because it's not purged

Actually, it's running DNEWS (nothing to do with MS). Not sure if it's on a
UNIX/SUN or Win32 platform.

Nothing to do with OE either, it is a server-side problem, I doubt it's
connectivity related as this news service can't pull that much bandwidth
either.

It's quite normal for servers to change their IP address, that's why you
have the DNS system. You obviously use completely insane firewall rules, so
you do not have grounds to complain about anything.

Give them a day or two to fix DNS problems and move everything (the mapper
stuff takes up a lot of space, you know).

Actually, it does play a big part. But such a high-end card is wasted if
you have an 800Mhz CPU.

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean? A bug in what? The main reason for
this script not working is server configuration (especially regarding the

The server executes the script... Anyway, I just wondered what bug you were

> LeechLog();

Two things:

1) You're not defining LeechLog() anywhere. If you use his code,
add this at the end:

==start code==
function LeechLog () {
$log = at fopen ("leeches.log", "a"); //Open file in append mode
if (!$log) //Error opening log file
return;

fwrite ($log, "Leech attempt from IP: ".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]."\n");
fclose ($log);
}
==end code==

If your PHP version is inferior to 4.1.0 you'll need to replace
$_SERVER with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

2) You assume register_globals to be on. This is bad practice,
especially as r_g defaults to off since PHP 4.2. Use
$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] (see note above for old PHP versions)

I recommend users of the code replace $HTTP_REFERER with the above snippet.

Besides that, nice coding.

Ugh. That's rather paranoid if you ask me. The simple solution is educating
people not to open anything at all, as has happened here. And while we're
discussion trusted sources, that was just what our friend M a t t exploited
to distribute it, first take a few citizenships, then abusing the trust
others had in the stolen accounts to further distribute it.

Don't just accept a bot/application without even asking what it does
("toolkit for AW" tells a *lot*, doesn't it...), or without getting a demo.
If you do accept something and it seems suspisious to you, investigate it.
Look in your process list (under Win9x/ME you won't get access to all
processes through CTRL+ALT+DEL unfortunately), in your registry, etc. A
packet sniffer can be usefull too.

I doubt everyone is going to be willing to give out their sourcecode to
AWI, and what would it help to have it code signed and hosted by them if
it's really a trojan?
