Re: Long path exploit on NTFS

Actually, you don't have to deal with long path name.

Here's a little experiment I've just done :
- a file with something that triggers my MacAfee VirusScan NT, put it in
    folder "Hello". Start scan : no problem, VirusScan warns me about
    the dangerous thing.
- same file, in folder called "nihongo", but labeled using japanese
    characters i.e. a folder with a unicode name. Start scan : nothing!
    No warning, because (i guess) no scan at all.

As Mr LeBlanc said, the problem here is those so-called NT version that
don't know what NT is.

Experiment done with VirusScan Engine 4.1.60, datfile 4.0.4183 on my
english NT 4.0 SP6+SRP+.. The bait I use is cdc's back orifice in a zip.


And for the little history, I don't blame MacAfee more than almost any
other app. I really hate it when xxxAmp can't play my jpop mp3, when
xxxCDCreator can't backup my folders on CD-R, etc...
