Problem: Windows Hidden SMB Shares no Longer Supported?
#1
Finally upgrading from moOde 8 to 9 (specifically 9.0.8). Thanks to everyone who made this upgrade possible!

Anyway, I like to use hidden SMB shares in Windows. They are created like any other share, they just end in "$" and therefore their presence is not broadcast when other computers search for available shares.

When I try to add the share - say 192.162.X.X/Music$, I am taken to a page (http://moode/response400.html#manual-server) displaying:
Code:
HTTP 400 Bad request

Looking at moode.log, I seeing the following:
Code:
20240829 132524 SECCHK: Invalid characters detected, transaction blocked
20240829 132524 SECCHK: 192.168.x.x/Music$

It's something new with moOde 9. Is this intended, or could it be fixed?

TIA

It's a security improvement for moOde that prevents dangerous command shell characters from being injected into PHP form data.

This and previous security improvements for example removing all embedded userid's and passwords from the release image are a benefit for everyone.

Whats the usage scenario where a music share needs to be hidden?
Enjoy the Music!
