We now have an option where a remote window title query returns a well-formed response containing the empty string. This should keep stop any server-side application that was expecting a response from hanging, while not permitting the response to be influenced by an attacker. We also retain the ability to stay schtum. The existing checkbox has thus grown into a set of radio buttons. I've changed the default to the "empty string" response, even in the backward- compatibility mode of loading old settings, which is a change in behaviour; any users who want the old behaviour back will have to explicitly select it. I think this is probably the Right Thing. (The only drawback I can think of is that an attacker could still potentially use the relevant fixed strings for mischief, but we already have other, similar reports.) [originally from svn r7043]
PuTTY README ============ This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and installed PuTTY on your system. What should I do next? ---------------------- If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the Start menu. If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP, you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows manuals for details. What do I do if it doesn't work? -------------------------------- The PuTTY home web site is http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports telling us `it doesn't work'.
