New CCA bypass method

Permalink 21:20:54 by Joe, Categories: Resnet

Recently, Resnet installed a new version of CCA which does the Operating System detection quite differently than the old, brain-dead use of the User-Agent string.
I described some issues here.
I have now figured out when the detection is done in this version (a bit technical): The OS is determined during the SSL negotiation phase of the HTTPS login request.
I have a work-around for people who use my Perl script to log into CCA on Windows. I'll keep the exact work-around private for now, since I don't want Resnet personnel (who are known to read these pages) to dissect it already ;)
So, shoot me an email (jfeise at feise dot com) if you want it.

The script is more designed for Linux.
For Windows, you would have to install Perl first (e.g., from http://www.activeperl.com/ASPN/Perl). You then can run the script.
