Revision History

Version 1.3.0 (released 2005-07-07)

NOTE: The stdout/stderr/return code standards have changed with this release!
All programs when executing remotely will recognize existing network connections to IPC$ and preserve them instead of deleting them when complete.
Put in a small delay followed by a retry when DeleteFile fails (this is due to timing issues with the OS closing the file handle); this should fix most of the warnings from this function that occasionally appear. Note that these warnings may still happen in some circumstances.
Added support for stable XML output.
Changed versioning scheme to include a "release" number as well as major and minor version numbers.
Refactored source tree.
Removed 255-character restrictions on process names when operating remotely.
Changed the list operation semantics: NTUTils programs will now always continue with the next target, instead of exiting.

Added ntpriority.
Refactored some of the code to make it more reusable.
Fixed bug in makefile that would prevent it from making executables that did not already exist.

Corrected bug in reading passwords from console input. Specifying -p without an argument will now work correctly.
Put documentation in a CHM.
Corrected all security issues:
- A more restrictive DACL was defined for the server-side named pipe, allowing anyone to connect but preventing anyone from taking ownership or changing the DACL.
- Changed the reading of the named pipe to be done before impersonation begins (i.e., using the creator/owner's security context).
- Ensured that enabling the debug privilege is done with the proper impersonated context instead of the process security context.
- Ensured that the impersonation level of the impersonation is at least at a level where impersonating is being done, instead of anonymous or identify impersonation level.
