TidBITS#268/20-Mar-95
=====================

The main news this week is Apple's release of the System 7.5
   Update 1.0, which updates a System 7.5 Mac so it thinks it is
   running 7.5.1, along with updates to QuickDraw GX, LaserWriter,
   and some new PowerTalk gateways. We also have news about what
   happened to DeskPicture, a program that has enhanced countless
   thousands of desktops over the years, and - finally -  we bring
   you a look at SATAN, which has caused one of the latest
   Internet controversies.

MailBITS/20-Mar-95
------------------
  We continue to worry about the mega-long URLs that result when we
  try to point people at Apple's FTP sites, because the return
  characters they contain tend to cause problems when people copy
  and paste them into other programs. As a result, we're going to
  try enclosing URLs that span more than a single line in <angle
  brackets>, just as we do with email addresses, machine names,
  newsgroup names in running text. This won't make the return
  characters go away, but will alert you to their existence.


**ftp.tidbits.com Up!** The 10 to 12 day delay in replacing the
  machine that runs <ftp.tidbits.com> we reported last week turned
  out to be a one-day delay, thanks to some fast work from Northwest
  Nexus. This means that TidBITS issues and the portion of Info-Mac
  mirrored there are once again accessible, plus the Anarchie
  bookmarks that ship with Adam's book should be working again. We
  apologize for any inconvenience, and extend a hearty thanks to
  Northwest Nexus for getting the machine replaced so quickly. [GD]


**New Apple System Software Components** -- In addition to the
  release of the System 7.5 Update 1.0 last week (see article
  below), Apple also released QuickDraw GX 1.1.1, LaserWriter 8.2.2,
  new PowerTalk gateways, and an international version of the
  network software installer that's potentially useful to a variety
  of Mac owners. Unfortunately, it seems these updates are only
  available on the same sites as System 7.5 Update 1.0, which means
  getting your hands on them can be difficult. Just for kicks, I
  wrote a script that repeatedly attempted to connect to Apple's
  update sites using a variety of methods during the wee hours of
  the morning. It ran for more than six hours without a single
  successful connection. So, we'll bring you more on these updates
  as soon as we can. [GD]


**TCP/Connect II Correction and Update** -- Dave Saunders
  <[e-mail]> writes to tell us that the latest version of
  TCP/Connect II is (as of a few days ago) version 2.1.1, and it
  does support multiple Web windows, although in a somewhat unusual
  way. In the Web configuration window, there's an option entitled
  "Open a new window for each user-specified URL" and when that's
  checked, TCP/Connect II 2.1.1 opens a new window when you use the
  Open URL command from the Services menu (but not when you type a
  URL into the Current URL field in the Web window). Also, version
  2.1.1 now supports CERN proxies, which means it can access WAIS
  URLs, as well as anything normally inaccessible to those behind a
  firewall running CERN proxy servers. [ACE]

**ISKM III Providers Wanted** -- I'm working on the third edition
  of Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh, and this time we're going
  to include custom configurations for a number of providers. If you
  run an Internet provider anywhere in the world and provide SLIP or
  PPP accounts at a reasonable rate, and you can offer some sort of
  special connection offer to readers of the Starter Kit who sign up
  with you, send email to my editor, Brad Miser <[e-mail]>,
  for more details. There isn't much time to spare, so act soon. [ACE]


System 7.5 Update 1.0 Released
------------------------------
  by Geoff Duncan <[e-mail]>

  On March 15, 1995, Apple released the Macintosh System 7.5 Update
  1.0 to the world. Although the appearance of this update might
  seem to follow right on the heels of the release of System 7.5,
  this series of patches and enhancements have been in development
  for some time - in fact, portions of it have circulated among
  selected developers since at least November of 1994. If you've
  heard rumors about System 7.5.1, this is it: once installed, your
  Macintosh reports that it's running System 7.5.1, and Apple plans
  to ship new Macs with 7.5.1 pre-installed.

  Readers familiar with previous updates to the Macintosh system
  software - the System 7 Tune-Up, the various Hardware System
  Updates, System Update 3.0, and the Apple Multimedia Tuner - will
  note at least one major change with this update: it's **big**.
  System Update 1.0 consists of four high-density floppy disk
  images. Binhexed and placed online, these files weigh in around
  5.2 MB. Even with a fast modem, be prepared to spend some time
  downloading this update.


**What's Included** -- Although previous system updates changed
  multiple system files (such as new printer drivers, a new Chooser,
  and so on), the System 7.5 Update takes this a little further by
  including updated system extensions and control panels (Launcher,
  WindowShade), system items previously available (such as MacTCP
  2.0.6 and Speech Manager 1.3) as well as a brand-new Finder.
  Here's a look at some of the functional enhancements:

* With the updater installed, the well-known "Welcome To
  Macintosh" shows for only a short time while you start up your
  Mac, and then is replaced by a large Mac OS logo, which stares out
  at you for most of the startup process.

* Power Macintosh owners will appreciate additional native
  QuickDraw code, which should speed up scrolling, image filters,
  and general screen-drawing tasks. (Brief tests show that some
  known QuickDraw bugs on Power Macs have also been fixed.) In
  addition, an updated Serial Driver fixes a crashing problem some
  users have encountered.

* Pressing the Power key on the keyboard now brings up a dialog
  box, offering options for shutting down, restarting, or sleeping
  (sleeping only works for Macs that know how to sleep,
  unfortunately). PowerBook 100 series PowerBooks don't have Power
  keys, but if you attach a keyboard, the Power key on the attached
  keyboard works in a similar manner.

* File Sharing 7.6.1 improves overall File Sharing performance and
  stops sharing audio CDs on startup. In addition, you don't have to
  turn off File Sharing to eject CD-ROMs or removable disks (like
  SyQuest cartridges)

* Launcher 2.7 supports drag and drop, making it easier to add new
  items, move Launcher items to different categories, or open files
  from the Finder by dragging them to a Launcher icon.

* Apple Guide version 1.2.5 is native on Power Macintosh and is
  (finally) compatible with At Ease.

* LaserWriter version 8.2 automatically selects the appropriate
  PPD file and configures paper trays.

* PowerTalk users will appreciate updates to the Catalog
  Extension, AppleMail, and the DigiSign Utility.

  Here are a few highlights of some technical enhancements in the
  System 7.5 Update 1.0.

* SCSI Manager 4.3.1 fixes problems with some external hard disks
  and 68040 AV Macs, plus works with the Quadra/LC/Performa 630 and
  the PowerBook 150.

* Find File 1.1.1 does better with restricted-access disks.

* SimpleText 1.2 offers some interface enhancements, better
  handling of Apple PPDs, and better printing.

* Updated versions of the Apple Menu Items, WindowShade, Keyboard,
  and General Control Panels.

* Updates are included for the Threads Library and Math Functions
  Library on Power Macs, giving developers more information and
  improved math performance (estimates range from 25 to 50 percent,
  depending on the context).

* Although the System 7.5 Update 1.0 removes the need for the EM
  Sound Update, PowerBook 150 Update, and Mount IDE Drive
  extensions, it does not replace the recently-released Multimedia
  Tuner 2.0.1.

<ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/Macintosh/
System.Software/Other.System.Software/Multimedia.Tuner.2.0.1.sea.hqx>

* Improves system stability in low memory situations.

* Fixes a potential crashing problem pasting large blocks of data.


**Update Problems and Tips** -- This update hasn't been out for
  long, so any summary of problems is obviously premature. However,
  the following issues have so far emerged:

* The debugger in Metrowerks' CodeWarrior development environment
  has problems on Power Macs with the System 7.5 Update installed.
  Metrowerks has received a new version of DebugServices from Apple
  and expects to release a fix this week. In the meantime, hold off
  on the update or remove the file System 7.5 Update from your
  System Folder and reboot.

* Owners of the DayStar Turbo 601 accelerator have reported
  problems booting machines with the System 7.5 Update installed.
  DayStar recommends owners of the Turbo 601 not install the update
  until they have updated the Turbo Control software to version 1.1,
  which DayStar plans to release in April, 1995.

* Owners of some clock-chipped 68K Macs and Power Macs have
  reported problems with the system update failing to load on
  startup, although the problem seems most common on Power Mac 7100s
  and 8100s. Some users have had to remove their clock-chip hardware
  to get the system update to load. KS Labs and Output Enablers have
  already released software patches addressing the problem for users
  of their products; other vendors will probably follow suit.
  Contact the vendor for details.

* Since the System 7.5 Update contains a new version of the
  Finder, modifications you've made to your existing Finder will be
  lost when you install the update. Common Finder modifications
  include adding command-keys to Finder menus by editing the fmnu
  resources, or adding a Quit command to the File menu. If this
  point doesn't make sense to you, then you almost certainly have
  nothing to worry about.


**Where To Find It** -- Apple has made System 7.5 Update 1.0
  available on eWorld and from its usual array of Internet servers.
  Unfortunately, these Internet servers have been overwhelmed with
  traffic since the update became available. Apple quickly put up a
  new server - <temp.info.apple.com> - to help spread the load, but
  it's still extremely difficult to get through. Currently the
  update is officially available on three Internet servers:
  <temp.info.apple.com>, <ftp.info.apple.com>, and
  <ftp.support.apple.com>.

  Here is the main FTP URL:

<ftp://ftp.info.apple.com/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/Macintosh/
System.Software/System.7.5.Update.1.0/>

  You might try substituting the name of another Apple server (see
  above) if you can't get through. Sneaky users might try using an
  HTTP URL (but that's left as an exercise for the reader, and the
  results have been mixed). However, one back door to the update
  that doesn't seem to have been completely overwhelmed (yet) is:

<gopher://info.hed.apple.com:70/11/Apple.Support.Area/Apple.Software.Updates/
Macintosh/System.Software/System.7.5.Update.1.0>

  A word about FTPing this update: if you're connecting the Internet
  over a slow connection or a modem and you have access to a shell
  account on your Internet provider's machine, consider opening a
  shell session and FTPing the files to a directory on your
  provider's machine. Why? Apple's FTP servers are restricted to
  anywhere from 60 to 100 concurrent anonymous users, and in all
  likelihood your provider's Internet connection is considerably
  faster than your modem. In the event you manage to get through to
  Apple's FTP sites, a 14.4 Kbps modem would take nearly an hour to
  download the update - that's an entire hour that you're filling
  one of those 100 slots, which isn't an efficient use of the
  server's bandwidth. Using your provider's faster line, however,
  you might be able to download the update to your provider's
  machine in only a few minutes, thereby freeing that slot much more
  quickly. Once you've done this, you can download the files from
  your provider's machine at your leisure, without having to worry
  about finding an available FTP slot on Apple's machines.


**Summary** -- My Quadra and PowerBook have been running the
  System 7.5 Update since it was released (and two pre-release
  versions before that) with little trouble. The update eliminated
  three completely reproducible crashes or hangs on my system, one
  involving the Standard File dialogs, another involving opening
  Finder windows, and one with WindowShade. My machines don't seem
  any slower, and CPU benchmark utilities indicate no significant
  shift in system performance since installing the 7.5 Update.

  Finally, one complaint about the System 7.5 Update remains: the
  "secret about box" that appeared with System 7.5 is gone. TidBITS
  readers might want to consider it their mission to discover and
  report any replacement Apple might have included.

DeskPicture: Back to the Nets
-----------------------------
  by Adam C. Engst <[e-mail]>

  Way back when in 1991, Now Utilities was the first piece of
  commercial software that TidBITS ever received as a review copy.
  That was version 2.0; the current version is 5.0.1 and the package
  has undergone some cast changes that make the Clinton cabinet look
  stable. Along the way, Now Software spun out some of the more
  frivolous parts of Now Utilities into a now-defunct package called
  NowFun.

  One of those early pieces of Now Utilities was Clay Maeckel's
  DeskPicture, a utility for displaying images in place of the
  standard desktop patterns (see TidBITS-45_). Ironically,
  DeskPicture started off life as freeware called DeskPICT. In that
  review in TidBITS-45_ (which now falls under my current pet
  phrase, "History happens."), I said:

  "Clay Maeckel wrote DeskPICT, the freeware predecessor to
  DeskPicture, in early 1987. The DeskPICT INIT simply displayed on
  the desktop a picture stored in a file called DeskPicture. Clay
  had planned a shareware upgrade to DeskPICT that would give it a
  control panel interface and a number of other features. But, at
  about the same time Claris Legal gave him permission to release
  DeskPICT as shareware (gotta run everything through legal these
  days it seems), he heard about Now Software and its planned
  collection of utilities. The concept interested him, and since
  non-essential shareware often does poorly in terms of financial
  earnings, he decided to go with Now rather than market DeskPICT as
  shareware. Clay said that he had received quite a bit of email
  from people who understood and encouraged the move and only one
  letter flaming him for the decision. Clay said that taking
  DeskPicture commercial made him feel a bit guilty, but it also
  gave him a good excuse for his wife when he uses the computer at
  home."

  At the time, DeskPicture's ability to display and randomize
  Startup Screen and PICT files was pretty neat, although it was
  soon joined by numerous other utilities that in some way
  graphically modified the desktop, including WallPaper and
  Screenscapes, among many others. When NowFun arrived, DeskPicture
  moved from Now Utilities into NowFun, but NowFun never took off. I
  don't know why - perhaps it was too expensive, or perhaps the
  individual utilities didn't stack up to the existing competition -
  it doesn't matter. What does matter is that NowFun went away, and
  DeskPicture was in limbo.

  A brief aside here. Another part of the first version of Now
  Utilities was a tiny utility from Michael Peirce called
  MemorySetter, which could intercept an application launch and let
  the user specify a different memory setting. Now dropped
  MemorySetter from Now Utilities 2.0, ostensibly because of disk
  space, although the feature lives on today as a part of Now Menus
  (and I use that feature frequently). Once he had it back, Michael
  updated MemorySetter, renamed it AppSizer, and released it as
  $19.95 shareware from Peirce Software (see TidBITS-125_ for a
  review of AppSizer 2.1).

ftp://mirror.aol.com/pub/info-mac/cfg/app-sizer-22.hqx

  In any event, once Clay recovered the rights to DeskPicture from
  Now Software, he and Michael got together and released DeskPicture
  4.0 as shareware, also for $19.95. It's nice to see Clay's work
  available to the Macintosh community once again, and I hope the
  market has matured enough that Clay's 1991 fears about DeskPICT
  not being financially viable via shareware won't come true. It's
  interesting that with this move, DeskPicture will have moved from
  freeware to commercial to shareware in its eight-year existence.
  Few programs have been so long-lived or mobile.

  DeskPicture 4.0 enables you to place any number of pictures on
  your desktop, no matter how many monitors you have or what screen
  depth you use. It can either use system memory for fast screen
  updates or load from disk to reduce the system memory usage. You
  can also scale, crop, and tile pictures on the screen, just in
  case you feel like making a collage. DeskPicture supports XTND,
  and comes with four translators that enable you to open and
  display images in GIF, black and white Startup Screen, WallPaper,
  and MacPaint formats. These formats are in addition to the built-
  in formats that DeskPicture supports: PICT, EPS, color Startup
  Screen, and PhotoCD. For those of us with short attention spans,
  DeskPicture can switch between pictures randomly or sequentially
  at random or specified time intervals.

ftp://mirror.aol.com/pub/info-mac/gui/desk-picture-40.hqx

  A small update to DeskPicture 4.0.1 should arrive soon, adding an
  application called DeskPicture Hanger, which enables you to place
  a picture on your desktop by merely dragging it onto the
  DeskPicture Hanger application. Needless to say, when it arrives,
  the URL above will break, so don't be surprised.

  Peirce Software has a support area on eWorld (keyword: Peirce),
  and also provides support for DeskPicture via Internet email at
  <[e-mail]>. If your desktop has needs a shot of
  excitement, give DeskPicture a try, and if you like it, show your
  support for Clay's shareware resuscitation of DeskPicture from the
  ashes of a commercial package.

Could It Be... SATAN?
---------------------
  by Geoff Duncan <[e-mail]>

  In recent weeks, there's been heaps of hype and controversy on the
  nets and in mainstream media surrounding a Unix security tool
  called SATAN. I've been cautioned against writing an article about
  it on the grounds that the article would fuel the fires of
  confusion and misinformation about SATAN. However, in the wake of
  the arrest of Kevin Mitnick (a widely-renowned computer cracker
  who, among other things, recently grabbed twenty thousand credit
  card numbers from Netcom - leading one to wonder why Netcom would
  leave such sensitive information on a machine connected to
  _anything_), I've noticed a growing popular paranoia about
  Internet security. The message seems to be a) the Internet is not
  a safe place, b) people on the Internet are intent on damaging you
  and your computer, and c) their next weapon is SATAN.

http://underground.org/newswire/


**What Is It?** The name SATAN is an acronym for Security Analysis
  Tool for Auditing Networks. SATAN gathers information about
  machines, networks, and remote hosts by examining a number of
  Internet and Unix services, looking for potential problems and
  known security loopholes. SATAN is being written by Dan Farmer and
  Wietse Venema, two well-established members of the Unix security
  community, in their spare time. SATAN is born of the philosophy
  that as computer systems are increasingly networked, they become
  more vulnerable to attack from those networks. The idea for SATAN
  was first proposed by Dan and Wietse in a paper called "How to
  Improve the Security of Your Site by Breaking Into It," originally
  posted in December, 1993.

ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security/admin-guide-to-cracking.Z
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~werdna/agtc.html

  Using SATAN requires root access to a Unix machine on a network -
  a privilege enjoyed by few Internet users - and presently SATAN
  only runs under SunOS and Irix. So why all the hype? Unlike other
  Unix security tools, the authors intend to publicly release SATAN
  to the general Internet community as early as 05-Apr-95, and a
  beta version of SATAN is out there now. SATAN makes system and
  network information - often obtainable only through careful,
  knowledgeable, and often painstaking work - available in one
  consistent, easy-to-download package. And this makes some people
  who have critical information on their networked systems- like
  credit card numbers or trade secrets - very nervous.

  According to early reports, SATAN works. Users of early releases
  indicate SATAN accurately finds potential and possibly unknown
  problems on networks with as few as eight or ten systems. The
  bigger and more complex a network becomes, the more likely SATAN
  will find potential security problems.


**Sign Right Here, Mr. Jones** -- So why is SATAN bad? According
  to some, SATAN will unleash hordes of crackers and wannabe
  crackers on the Internet, many of whom will take down systems and
  networks with impunity. One Kevin Mitnick was bad enough: imagine
  a thousand or more, all armed with the latest in security analysis
  software.

  SATAN's creators have certainly heard their share of this
  argument. Their standing as members of the Unix security community
  has kept them from being completely vilified in the popular press
  - but only barely. SATAN's documentation even says "at least one
  of the authors has had his job threatened." Some security experts
  have been quoted as saying that all copies of SATAN should be
  destroyed, and I've read rumors of possible legal action in the
  event SATAN is released.

  However, there's another side to that line of reasoning: maybe
  SATAN just lets the security experts keep up with the Joneses.

  Think about it: imagine that you're a sociopathic, wizard cracker
  with a grudge against the entire Internet - just for the sake of
  argument. You pick some obvious targets: government agencies,
  military computers, sites conducting online commerce, computer
  companies, research centers, and maybe - to show off a little -
  the personal machines of some net security people. Just to let
  them know who's boss.

  Now, despite your obvious and considerable genius, cracking into
  systems undetected is sometimes a tricky thing to do. When you
  find a trick that works more often than not, you make yourself a
  tool that does the trick for you. Maybe it's a script that
  exploits a flaw in a particular version of sendmail, or maybe it's
  a program that helps simulate a "trusted" machine. Whatever - it's
  cool and it saves you time. When you meet other crackers and start
  one-upping each other with feats of deviousness heretofore unknown
  to the networked world, eventually you start trading tools.

  One result of all this back-room trading is that sophisticated
  crackers already have tools that do what SATAN does - and more -
  and they've had them for a long time. In terms of sheer
  capability, SATAN does little to help or hinder intruders of this
  caliber. "Keeping out the real Mitnicks is hard enough even for
  real security experts," Wietse points out. "SATAN is a tool to
  help systems administrators to keep a large class of intruders
  out." Those intruders are casual crackers who know enough to
  exploit common weaknesses, but not enough to develop sophisticated
  tools.


**Sympathy for the Devil** -- If a line were to be drawn as to
  what constituted a "tool" and a "weapon" on the nets, where would
  that line be? All too often, system break-ins are the result of
  weak passwords rather than sophisticated break-in techniques.
  Finger, a common program in the Unix world, can reveal copious
  amounts of information about a machine if applied systematically,
  including a machine's disk structure, account names, and hosts
  users commonly connect from. This information can be (and has
  been) used to assist break-in attempts, and therefore Finger might
  reasonably be defined as a "weapon." Should the distribution of
  Finger be restricted?

  Similarly, SATAN is a piece of software that provides information.
  Let's face it: if SATAN wanted to be the Program From Hell, it
  wouldn't stop at identifying problems: it would exploit them.
  Contrary to much of the popular press, SATAN does **not** directly
  attack other computer systems, although some of its scanning
  activities should set off alerts on remote systems being
  investigated. The information SATAN collects is already available
  to anyone with the right knowledge and significant access to the
  network being examined; similarly, the problems SATAN identifies
  are well-known and often the subject of CERT and CIAC security
  advisories.
  You could think of SATAN as a tool intended to raise the minimum
  standards of network security high enough that the majority of
  would-be intruders are kept out. Ironically, despite the current
  gnashing of teeth, SATAN arguably has the potential to make the
  Internet a more secure place than it is now, in large part because
  cracking machines is often a domino process - crack into one, and
  another one becomes easier to break into.

  SATAN's authors are straightforward about the potentials of their
  program. "Not only is it an unfriendly idea to run SATAN against a
  remote site without permission, it is probably illegal as well. Do
  yourself and the rest of the Internet a favor and don't do it!
  While we don't know of anyone being charged with a crime or sued
  because they ran a security tool against someone else, SATAN could
  change that."

  The current media hype about SATAN might best be summarized as
  members of the press and the online community being all too aware
  that what they don't know **can** hurt them. However, the bottom
  line is that even if your Mac is connected to the Internet and
  probed by SATAN, you're unlikely to notice, and even less likely
  to suffer for it. Internet providers and users of networks with
  Unix machines connected to the Internet might wish to stay abreast
  of SATAN's development and release schedule - just in case. The
  official SATAN release page is a good place to check, as are the
  <comp.security.unix> and <comp.security.misc> newsgroups. SATAN's
  developers can be reached at <[e-mail]>.
