Short: Check AmigaGuide docs for nasty tricks. Author: Paul Kolenbrander (paul@serena.iaehv.nl) Uploader: Paul Kolenbrander (paul serena iaehv nl) Type: text/hyper Architecture: m68k-amigaos Version 1.0 is an update to version 0.9 New: 1. Now also checks for 'address command' sequences 2. new option WARN for use in scripts. ScanGuide is a small CLI tool I put together after reading a thread in the UseNet Amiga newsgroups about how one could misuse the @onopen & @onclose commands supported by AmigaGuide to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting Amiga user. Tricks like formatting someone's harddisk or deleting all his/her files when (s)he opens or closes an AmigaGuide document isn't my kind of humor at all. So I created ScanGuide. Just feed it the path and filename of an AmigaGuide document (say one from an archive you just downloaded) and it'll scan that document and report all lines containing @onopen and @onclose commands. Then it is up to you to check these lines for possible nastyness. The optional ALL parameter will make ScanGuide 1.0 also do a search for the " rx ", " rxs ", 'address command' and " system " commands. As these an be misused as well unfortunately. For more info please check the ScanGuide.Doc file enclosed in the archive. Usage: ScanGuide [ALL] [WARN] That's about all. It's a freebie people, no charge! Just my contribution to making life a bit safer for 'Amiganoid LifeForms'. But if you really feel it deserves somerenumeration, then check out ScanGuide.Doc. There are a couple of worthwhile causes I'd suggest you might send a small donation to. 21st January 1996 Paul Kolenbrander
