Windows NT SP5 and a source distribution for the Torino code give a
working application here. BUT, as I said last week there's a "bug" in
packet-smb.c that made me unable to capture. This might have to do
with me being on a VERY busy network: If I capture 1000 frames
right now I'll expect more than half of it to be SMB... At least
10% of those packets trigger the bug.
The bug itself has to do with the MSVC++ 6 version of strlen being
unable to handle empty string. I know this sounds unlikely, but if
I supply a NULL pointer to it, it generates an access violation in
debug mode and when I just run the same executable outside the
debugger it hangs.
I have attached a patch that checks if the supplied "string" is
not NULL. I have also supplied a screen capture of Ethereal showing
a packet that triggers the bug to check for someone if there's a
problem with it. I think there's a bug somewhere else too, because
the contents of the packet itself doesn't suggest a respone to me...
