Background: WebJob downloads a program over HTTP/HTTPS and executes it in one unified operation. The output, if any, may be directed to stdout/stderr or a Web resource. WebJob may be useful in incident response and intrusion analysis as it provides a mechanism to run known good diagnostic programs on a potentially compromised system. It can also support a variety of centralized management and host-based monitoring solutions such as process monitoring, file integrity, package/patch deployment, configuration management, and policy compliance. http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/ WebJob is also the home of Payload and Delivery (PaD) technology. A PaD file is a self-extracting executable which can be implemented as either a script or a program. In addition to extracting their payload, PaD executables support flexible payload delivery. In other words, the user controls if, when, and how a given payload will be delivered. Within the PaD framework, delivery refers to the act of running one or more commands to manipulate or otherwise make use of the extracted payload. http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/PayloadAndDelivery.shtml Announcement: Version 1.3.0 is a minor release of WebJob. Generally, code was cleaned up and refined as necessary. The configure/build process has been updated, and several new configure options were added. The client-side filename format was changed from webjob.stdxxx.hhhhhhhh to webjob_hhhhhhhh.xxx. Also, the logic used to seed the random number generator was modified to address an issue on NT/2K platforms. The major event for this release, however, was the addition of MD5 and SHA1 hashing support. Now, WebJob has the ability to compute a message digest of a specified file or stdin. This is useful in situations where the downloaded executable needs to compute a hash, but the target platform lacks the necessary hashing tools. Also, message digests of the std{out,err} streams are now computed and written to the stdenv stream. This will make it easier to check stream integrity on the server. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=296494 Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40788 Cookbook: http://webjob.sourceforge.net/WebJob/Cookbook.shtml Enjoy, k -- Klayton Monroe klmat_private Fingerprint = 6D3B 1DBC F426 36E4 7C9A FA93 9A5D D62D 4D86 DBFC ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
