Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2001-0597. PoCs published by Thomas Roessler.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a weakness in the pseudo-random number generation of Strip (a PalmOS password generator), allowing brute-force guessing of passwords due to a limited 16-bit seed space. The code implements the flawed PRNG and iterates through all possible seeds to generate and test potential passwords.
Description
Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack. This attack is made feasible by STRIP's use of SysRandom, which is seeded by TimeGetTicks, and an implementation flaw which vastly reduces the password 'search space'.
