ANNOUNCING the discovery of text file steroids!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Do you need to bulk up that thin 1K text file of yours to a big 10K
|
|||
|
|
text file? You want to be the top uploader in your favorite phreak
|
|||
|
|
board, eh? Well, the scientists at the MS/PC-DOS testing lab here
|
|||
|
|
in Struct Def City, California have discovered a "loophole" in text
|
|||
|
|
files. The designers of DOS made the end-of-file marker (tells DOS
|
|||
|
|
that the text file ends there and there is no more text to be shown
|
|||
|
|
after it) a Ctrl-Z;ASCII 26;HEX 1A. However, we found a text editor
|
|||
|
|
that ignores the Ctrl-Z and therefore, bypasses the Ctrl-Z barrier.
|
|||
|
|
Futhermore, you could create a binary file which acts as a text file.
|
|||
|
|
This means that you could add anything after any text file to add
|
|||
|
|
muscle to it (And moves you closer to be the top uploader in your
|
|||
|
|
favorite BBS).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, as an added bonus, you can hide your *secret information* from
|
|||
|
|
people who is not supposed to be looking at your file. This means
|
|||
|
|
that you could trade codes without anybody knowing anything. For
|
|||
|
|
example, you upload a "buffed" text file to a BBS containing your
|
|||
|
|
"codez". You tell your friend that it has the codez imbeded to it
|
|||
|
|
and he then extracts it. You could choose who gets your codez.
|
|||
|
|
Anybody could download it *but* nobody could get the codes unless you
|
|||
|
|
tell 'em it's there. BTW- You need my text file editor that bypasses
|
|||
|
|
the Ctrl-Z barrier or use your all trusty Norton Utilities to get rid
|
|||
|
|
of those 1A's;26's;Ctrl-Z's.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Have fun!!
