the-binary - Command 3 - exec command and transmit results
Purpose:
This command causes the agent to execute a command on its host system and
return any results via its transmission list (see description of command
2).
Format:
A handler sends the following command to have the agent execute an arbitrary
command and transmit the results (xxx = don't care):
| 2 |
xxx |
xxx |
3 |
| null terminated command to execute |
padding for a minimum packet size
of 201 bytes including the IP header
|
NOTE: the shaded bytes must be encoded prior to transmission to the agent.
Response:
Upon receipt of an exec command message, the agent will execute the specified
command on the host system. Any output from the command will be transmitted
via the transmission list in the following format:
First 398 bytes of output for a given command:
| 3 |
xxx |
xxx |
3
|
|
up to 398 bytes of command output
|
padding for a random packet
size of 400-600 bytes |
Second and successive 398 bytes of output for a given command:
| 3 |
xxx |
xxx |
4
|
|
up to 398 bytes of command output
|
padding for a random packet
size of 400-600 bytes |
NOTE: The shaded fields are encoded by the agent and must be decoded by
the handler.
