I just dont seem to get brloop working. It says: Command failed -- brutessl missing ? what seems to be wrong is that it tries to execute command: brutessl - although brutessl does not have a command line option '-'. Why is the '-' there after brutessl ? <o Jri Kaljundi e-mail: jk@digit.ee o< >o tel: +372 6308994 o> <o DigiTurg http://www.digit.ee/ o<

The server is being HAMMERED again ....
There appears to be a failure mode whereby when busy, clients call up,
say "HELO", then "QUIT" :-((
This adds to the hammering :-((

The code expects brclient to return one line which is the comamnd line flags
for brutessl, followed by the config data.
As brclient is failing, brutessl is being called without the expected args :-(

The first arg of brutessl is the file from which to read the config info.
"-" is a unix convention for the file "stdin".
SO: go grab brclient 0.12 which has a more efficient "-L" flag.
go read http://www.brute.cl.cam.ac.uk/brute/how2run.html
in particular, create .brloop.rc containing
tailored=true
checkcmds=false
BRNAME="Jyri Kaljundi"
BRID="jk@digit.ee"
which will stop it checking the commands, set the ID, etc ...

"-" is the name of the <filename> -- it's a unix convention for "stdin".
brutessl 1.0 was incompatible with bruterc4 -- that was the reason for
releasing brutessl 1.01
If you are stuck with brutessl 1.0, fix cmd to be
#:10: the actual command to do the work ....
cmd="${cmd-$brclient -dklLt$type|(read a;nice -20 $brute$type -- - \$a)|(read a;
echo ' '\$a 1>&2; echo \$a) |$brclient -AlLt$type}"

OK - I dig this, but brutessl on my Linux box is still complaining about
usage...(sorry about the bandwidth but I assume other people are probably
having similar problems)

I see that can happen, but there is also:
++ brclient -dklLtssl
++ brclient -AlLtssl
++ read a
++ read a
++ nice -20 brutessl - 2977 d42f 1
usage: brutessl [-q] <filename> <checksum> <start segment> <no of segments>
brutessl [-q] -r <filename> [<no of segments>]
brutessl [-q] -t [<hours>[:<minutes>]]
++ echo
Where apparently I did get d42f, but brutessl 1.02 choked - I am going to
take the advic of the other poster and add the "--" to the command.
Again this is on a Linux box. I suggest that other Linuxers check their
logfile for this behaviour.

Use 'nice -20 brutessl -- -' instead. The '--' tells getopts() not to parse
anything else as arguments, then the next '-' will be interpreted correctly.

I made the change, and while it still chokes when you call brutessl
without keys (a feature, right?), it DOES work when you get a valid keyspace.
So Linux people might want to change the command in brloop if you are
getting the same problems I was:
#:10: the actual command to do the work ....
cmd="${cmd-$brclient -dklLt$type|(read a;nice -20 $brute$type -- - \$a)|(read a;
[Huh, like, I wrote more code ;]

I get something similar:
ionia:/usr/people/pjm/src/ssl> brloop
+++ Command failed -- brutessl missing ?
Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 12) line 3, near "*($p"
(Missing operator before $p?)
+++ FAILED on attempt 1
usage: brutessl [-q] <filename> <checksum> <start segment> <no of segments>
brutessl [-q] -r <filename> [<no of segments>]
brutessl [-q] -t [<hours>[:<minutes>]]
I'll just use the Web keyspace server if I don't get the time to
hack around with it.
