only works to xp - xp, start/run/netsend 123.456.789 hi, whatever.


replace 123.456.789 with their IP. so much for madskillz eh :p
 
You can't send them anonymously, they will always have your computer's name attched to them.
 
Net send works from Command prompt in win2k and NT 4.0

But it will put the computer name on it.
 
Some guy did that @ our school. Hit over 500 running comps and all the admins and the server. ROFL, guy got suspended for 1 weekk for using it to threaten a teacher, then he later got expelled. He was stupid. So yes like su root said you cannot sends annon. In our case @ the school (it was a guy in the other CISCO class than mine...) tracked it to the station via the IP.

BTW: I saw an article in January where a kid said hi and got suspended for 3 days... I know for our school that falls under hacking the network.

Im not saying you would do it @ a school/university/job but be careful where you do it. Some admins dont like people messing with their network. :)

Its fun tho @ home making family members confused, lol. I used to get my bro all the time but my dad knows dos like the back of his hand, lol. So he messaged back and spoiled my fun since my bro found out I did it. :eek:
 
Works in 2003 as well just disabled by default but if you want to do it annonymously just change the name of your network & reboot & send nothing to it ;)
 
lol yea that happened to a guy in my advanced topics class...suspended for 3 days saying hi. Sent it to the entire school. No id like to use it at home mainly. I had a GUI prog that supposedly did it....

oh...in my physics class, we all have laptops at our bench....all networked for printing reports and results. THey run win2k. One kid abuses netsend. Yes, i admit we've used it at skool, but not for mischeif. Its treated harshly at my place. This kid sends us about 50-100 in a few seconds. Gets on our nerves. So i tried doing the NET STOP MESSENGER. our retarded admin locked the ability to shut it off, and she thinks she locked the ability to netsend all together.

Starting and stopping services is an administrative ability and not given to regular users. Using a program "NET" in the windows directory, is allowed by any user.
 
with net send..

Batch file looping over and over.

Net sending to the computer your friend is on saying "Warning: Pornography Detected"
 
There was a program i had a while back..network administrator.
It loads up and shows you all the computerson the network and allows you to basically netsend to each other but makes it as a ICQ interface if the 2 computers communicating have network administrator program
However if one doesnt then its a netsend message. LOL accidently sent a message to everyone lol. To bad i was logged on as image/image not my actual user name lol. w00t.

heres what i did, make your home desktop's name 'unknown' or something like that. VNC to it, and send from there. To bad everyone knows about net send now, it used to be fun... and i dont believe the messenger service is in windows 98. I think you can the ability though, I do remember adding it to windows 3.1 before.
 
there is a function called NetMessageBufferSend you can use in C++ and VB. The syntax for it tho is alittle beyond me if anyone knows aobut it can they 'splain it in laments terms?
 
Our high school used novell, and there was an (enabled) option to send in network messages. Other critical settings were blocked out, so I assumed it was ok to use this feature. A month later, our teacher and other teachers got rather upset when they found out people were sending messages all over the school. I shouldn't have told my buddy next to me how to do it :D.

If you wanted to send them anonymously, you can change your computer name to something less identifiable (like "lab566-33", change it to "nobody" or something anonymous). If you are on a school network, I would think again. People have ways of finding out who did what on their systems. I know they certainly have their act together at my college.
