    On several projects I was able to connect to the Compaq server using a
    standard web browser to port 2301 (http://ipadress:2301). The dual homed
    server then just acts as a proxy. Note that it is not a full proxy compliant
    systems of course. Therefore cookies, activex controls, pictures and stuff
    might not be passed to your client. It is great to establish a hidden
    outbound connection to the Internet though.

    I am pen-testing a customer's network and stumbled upon their Compaq
    Digital-Unix web server. This web server happens to be in front of their
    firewall too. I have detected 2 immediate security issues:
    
    1) They are running Compaq Insight Manager.
    2) Their web server has the htsearch cgi-bin script.
    
    Questions:
    
    1) I know Insight Manager has buffer overflows and can be used as a proxy.
    Do exploits for the buffer overflows exist? Also, I am not sure if I am
    configuring the proxy client correctly. Anyone have luck with this?
    
    2)When I try to exploit the htsearch script I get the following error:
    
    "Unable to read word database file '/xxx/xxx/htdig/db/db.words.db' Did you
    run htmerge?" [xxx are for obscurity] :)
    
    Any help with either one of these and/or general Digital-Unix pen-test info
    would be very helpful.
    
    Thank you.
    
    -Tim
