Thema: FUTIL Was macht das Tool?

Guten Abend,

Als ich mir den Fossiltreiber BNU runterlud stieß ich auf ein kleines Utility FUTIL

Es befand sich im Ordner Utilitys



Hier mal die Readme:





June, 1989

















FUTIL.COM, FUTIL.ASM and accompanying documentation are released
free of charge in the interests of encouraging others to
contribute to the Fidonet community and to provide information and
assistance to those "learning the ropes" in communications and
programming in general.

This utility will be of particular interest to those wanting to
test their systems locally, simulating a full connect, logon and
logoff using no or a direct wire external connection. It will
also assist (a little) those wanting to delve further into the
workings of FOSSIL.

FUTIL FOSSIL Companion
Version 1.10

Usage:

FUTIL has only two possible command line parameters.

FUTIL [/Pn] [/U]

/Pn Install for port 'n' (0-16), default is port 0 (COM1)
/U Uninstall from memory, if already resident



FUTIL - What is it?


FUTIL is a small TSR (terminate and stay resident) utility which
acts as a wedge between FOSSIL and a FOSSIL aware application
(such as a mailer or BBS). Using keyboard commands, you can
simulate modem return codes and FOSSIL status information to
'fool' the application into thinking that it has connected,
received carrier and has a remote user logged on. This is very
useful while setting up a new BBS, or to simulate a modem to
modem connection with two locally hard-wire connected machines.

FUTIL fools the application by providing the means of intercepting
FOSSIL calls, optionally 'eating' transmitted characters,
returning modem result and connect codes and manipulating various
modem status information returned by a FOSSIL. All result codes
and status changes can be entered and manipulated from the
keyboard.

FUTIL is known to work with BNU and Opus!Com. It will normally
work with X00, excepting where an application uses the "x00" high
level language interface to bypass INT 14H and call the driver
directly. Therefore use with X00 is not recommended (but will
usually work).

In thory, FUTIL should work with just about any other FOSSIL in a
100% PC, PC/AT or PS/2 compatible under MS-DOS.



Why release source?

FUTIL's source is provided to enable its customisation to your
particular purpose. This will extend its usefulness. For
example, with slight modification, it can be used to intercept
standard BIOS calls in a similar way. Keyboard 'hotkeys' can also
be changed and added to, additional codes added, other
communications status bits status by altering the keyboard tables
and re-assembling.

FUTIL *works*. But it should not be left resident unless during
testing or unless it has been completely deactivated. BE WARNED!
Since FUTIL provides the ability to set and override real
communications status information (such as carrier detect), this
can cause failed connects or complete confusion so far as your
FOSSIL application is concerned. Use only under direct
supervision!

FUTIL FOSSIL Companion
Version 1.10


This source can be easily used as a learning tool both in the
'art' of FOSSILs and the 'hotkey' aspects of TSR's. To
investigate what FUTIL does, it is advisable to have a copy of the
FOSSIL specification handy. The source is heavily commented.



Supplied configuration

FUTIL is pre-configured for COM1 (FOSSIL port 0) - may be
overridden with the command line switch /Pn - and will by default
not be active. In this state, it will pass all calls through to
the resident FOSSIL driver unmodified and returns all information
unaltered. However, the keyboard provides a way of changing this
as follows:

NOTE: All keys mus be pressed while holding down the Ctrl-
Leftshift key combination (this too can be modified).


Key Result

` Turns all (FUTIL) processing off (default state)
0 Forces (and keeps on forcing) no carrier
O Simulates an 'OK' and forces carrier low
E Simulates an 'ERROR', forcing carrier low
N Simulates a 'NO CARRIER', forcing carrier low
B Simulates 'BUSY' forces carrier low
F 'CONNECT FAST', carrier high
9 'CONNECT 9600', carrier high
3 'CONNECT 2400/REL', carrier high
2 'CONNECT 2400', carrier high
1 'CONNECT 1200', carrier high
R 'RING', carrier low
V 'VOICE', carrier low
I 'RRING', carrier low


These can be easily re-configured to suit if you have an assembler
handy (MASM 5.10 or TASM 1.0 required). Each hotkey and its
effect are configured by changing data in the "notkey" structures;
refer to the source for further details.

FOSSIL calls intercepted by FUTIL are all data transmit/receive
ones, including 'block' transmit/receive supported by FOSSIL rev
5.







Kann ich mit diesem Tool FUTIL ein Modem emulieren welches auch einen Datenmodus besitzt?

Und was brauche ich dafür um das Ganze zum Laufen zu bekommen?

Wo hast du den das Programm gedownloadet ich kann es nicht finden..
Das einzige was ich gefunden hab war Fsutil und dies ist ein NTFS Tuner

4. Fsutil.EXE: Das Dateisystem NTFS tunen - - PC-WELT

Und die Antwort steht bereits im Text selbst... Im Internet gibt es prima Übersetzer, falls man der englischen Sprache nicht mächtig ist. Vernünftige Threads zu erstellen, die sich nicht mit 21 Jahre alter Technik beschäftigen, dazu sind manche anscheinend auch nicht mächtig...
