TFTP-hpa-execute is a modified TFTP-hpa software that enables the execution of system commands.
The tftp-hpa's regex pattern matching system is used to determine if a match occurs or not and executes the command specified for that pattern. The tool can be used to create a rule whenever a file begins with the string 00085D, which is the OUI-prefix for the Aastra VoIP phone's Media Access Control (MAC) address.
To start using the tool, a user must run the tftpd daemon and specify a location for the rules file using the -m argument. The rules file can be located in the source tarball's tftpd/sample.rules. In the rules file, a user can create a line to execute a specific command for a pattern. For example, one can create a rule to execute the command /usr/local/bin/mkaastracfg, passing the full filename requested by the program as the first argument.
Overall, tftp-hpa-execute is an excellent tool for developers who want to create dynamic configuration files for VoIP phones. With its regex pattern matching system, it's easy to determine whether a match occurs and execute a specific command for that match.
