THC-SSL-DoS on BackTrack5

One Oct 24, 2011, The Hacker Choice (THC) released a DoS tool that targeting vulnerable SSL/https servers. Here's how I compile it on BT5 together with a modified version.

First, I download the modified version of thc-ssl-dos.c from http://pastebin.com/bKLue33X. Instead of conducting a real DoS attack, the modified version will merely check if the target server vulnerable or not.

Secondly, I have to install the libssl-dev. I download the latest copy of OpenSSL and point the configure script to the libraries.


# tar zxvf openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
# cd openssl-1.0.0e
# make
# cd ../thc-ssl-dos-1.4
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/thc-ssl-dos --with-includes=/opt/openssl-1.0.0e/include/ --with-libs=/opt/openssl-1.0.0e/
# make
# cd /opt/thc-ssl-dos/src

# ./thc-ssl-dos

Install Chromium in Backtrack 5

I installed BackTrack 5 recently. I follow the instruction from http://koko-newbie.blogspot.com/2011/09/install-google-chrome-in-backtrack-5_03.html. 


Here's how I install the Chromium browser into my Backtrack:

1. apt-get install chromium-browser
2. cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser
3. hexedit chromium-browser

• [Tab] to mode string

• [ctrl-s], type geteuid

• Replace geteuid as getppid

• [ctrl-x] to save-and exit.

The reason to modify the geteuid with hexedit is to bypass the restriction on running Google Chrome browser as root.
