This repository contains a single Metasploit module (attftp_long_filename.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2006-6184) in Allied Telesyn TFTP Server v1.9 running on various Windows platforms. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted TFTP request with an overly long filename to UDP port 69, causing a buffer overflow and allowing arbitrary code execution. The module supports multiple Windows targets (NT, 2000, XP, 2003) with specific return addresses for each. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and can be up to 210 bytes. The exploit requires network access to the target's UDP port 69. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and its purpose is to provide a remote code execution exploit for the specified TFTP server vulnerability.
