While experimenting with IDS, I found that if the Iliad experiences a connection error (like it does connecting to my IDS proxy
),
then it pops up a dialog and waits for a click.
While it is in this state, the network is up and running and there is an unprotected X server running on port 6000. You can happily run X clients on it from another local host or grab window information etc.
While this is very cool (see attached screenshots), I haven't found a way to exploit it. You can run apps to be displayed on the Iliad and see how they look. You can kill off windows. But I haven't found any way of making it do anything more interesting. Ideas anybody?
Here's the output from xlsclients -l:
