Rattler v1.10
What is Rattler?
Basically Rattler is a plugin for Back Orifice 2000 that operates in
a similar fashion to Butt Trumpet 2000: it notifies a specified user as to
the whereabouts of a Back Orifice server via e-mail. Rattler does work a
little differently than Butt Trumpet though. While Butt Trumpet will only
send one e-mail each time the Back Orifice server starts up, Rattler will
send an e-mail each time it detects an IP address addition. These additions
can be triggered by users dialing-up to an ISP or by a machine setup with
DHCP.

The rmratreg utility:
Several people have been having problems with Rattler when trying
to re-install the BO2K server. Basically the problem is that Rattler
stores it's configuration information in the registry and when you
re-install the BO2K server, Rattler will still use the settings
stored in the registry. This can be confusing since the configuration
stored in the registry might differ from the configuration used when
creating the BO2K server install module.
In response to this, I give you the rmratreg utility. All the
program does is simply delete the registry information for Rattler
without you having to open regedit (or use BOTools). To run the program,
simply shell to DOS (or BASH if you prefer) and type:
rmratreg.exe
The rmratreg utility will then give you a message indicating whether
or not it succeeded in deleting the Rattler configuration information.
Developer's note: C source is included. The program was compiled using
Visual C++ 6.0 (SP3). To compile the program yourself, use the command:
cl rmratreg.c advapi32.lib
Future plans
The only plans I have at this point are to release an update for Rattler
once the sources for BO2K v1.1 have been released. BO2K v1.1 is going
to support a new plugin structure and therefore all of the current BO2K
plugins will have to be modified to run on BO2K v1.1 servers. Other than
that, I have no active plans to update Rattler at this time.
