Implement Fake Process

[notoxxia]

Hello !
A Fake Process will be awesome.
This is an example of a fake process command line :

trcpy(argv[0],FAKE); // fake the proccess name.
while(fgets(buff,sizeof(buff),fp))
{
c=strchr(buff,'n');
if(c!=NULL) *c='.';
if (!(fork()))
{
where=0;
// printf("--> attacking %s",buff);
for (i=0; i<count; i=i+2){
// printf("--> Trying %s:%s %sn",a[i],a[i+1],buff);
checkauth(a[i],a[i+1],buff); // try to auth
}
exit(0);

this is taken from
https://github.com/MrMugiwara/against-cracker/blob/master/against.py
Of course, this is py, but i guess this can also be done in C.
Thank you, Brother !

Your code is ANSI C, not Python 😆
But yes, the way to change the process name on UNIX systems are writing on memory where argv[0] is allocated. 👍

I guess that your code has a missing "s", should be:
strcpy(argv[0], FAKE); <--- Basically it's copying memory from FAKE to address where argv[0] is allocated.
This single line covers your request :D

Other Linux-standard possible solutions:

• pthread_setname_np(pthread_self(), "newName"); is probably the better method, it comes from glibc and might be portable to other non-Linux systems

• prctl(PR_SET_NAME, (unsigned long)"newName", 0, 0, 0);

prctl(PR_SET_NAME, (unsigned long)"newName", 0, 0, 0);

First, thank you for the quick response.
Second, where should i place this line ?
"prctl(PR_SET_NAME, (unsigned long)"newName", 0, 0, 0);"

Other Linux-standard possible solutions:

* [`pthread_setname_np`](https://linux.die.net/man/3/pthread_setname_np)(pthread_self(), "newName"); is probably the better method, it comes from `glibc` and might be portable to other non-Linux systems

* [`prctl`](https://linux.die.net/man/2/prctl)(PR_SET_NAME, (unsigned long)"newName", 0, 0, 0);

Hello again, Brother!
As above, I'm asking you about those lines :D
where should i place them ?
cbrutekrag.c ?
is there anything else to insert ?
can you give me an example ?
Thank you so much brother !
Note: my coding skills are horrible :))))

I also got plenty of errors when i tried to add prctl or pthread_setname_np
