| (About the author) |
| | | These are 3 projects all related. The purpose is to connect to a remote machine, via the internet, and gain a limited amount of control.
I have submitted this code because it was an excellent experiment for me using Windows Sockets and after i was finished, i figured someone else might find it fun/helpful. It was by no means written as a tutorial - there is definetly room for improvement and can be quite confusing at times. However, I wanted to put it out here rather than have it sit on my machine.
Being a learning experience for me, the code is not prefect. It uses DGRAM sockets, so their is no gusrantee of packets making succesfully, although there is some checking and I have had no lost packets as of yet. Also BE SURE TO CHANGE THE CODED IP ADDRESSES. right now they lead to your local machine, but you must change them to the ACTUAL IP address you wish the programs to connect to.
There is quite a bit you should know here:
There are 3 seperate projects...
Secret - runs silently on the computer you wish to connect to.
Sender - sends commands over the internet to the Secret program.
Server - runs to relay an ip address to either the Secret or the Sender.
Detailed explanation as follows:
The "Secret" program runs as soon as it is double clicked. If it is named "me.jpg.exe" it will copy itself to the startup folder (if running W95 or W98). From then on it continues to run whenever the computer is started up. It employs multiple threads, - one thread is constantly sending to the "server" until the server receives it's IP address. This way you will know the IP address (providing the server is running) even if it is dynamic. The other 2 threads are waiting for commands from the Sender program.
The "Sender" program asks you to connect in one of 3 ways - a direct connect, where you type in the IP address of the machine. The second option is to retrieve the remote IP address from the server, in case it is dynamic - and the third to connect to someone behind a proxy server. In reality, if you choose to connect to someone behind a proxy server, the Server program takes your IP address and sends it to the Secret program which then establishes a connection to you...so the client behind the proxy server is actually connecting to you.
The Server program just listens to for IP connections from the Secret and from the Sender. And it carries out the commands it receives, which pretty much consist of storing and relaying IP addressses.
What can you do with this??? the options are limitless. Right now you can tell the Secret program to do the following commands...
Delete files,
Shutdown Computer,
Reboot Computer,
Flash an bitmap up on their machine for a specified amount of time,
Get the captions of internet sites the user might be surfing,
pop up message boxes with the *, ! or ? icons.
The PROTOCOL.H consists of commands to Delete, Message, etc.
Comm.h / Comm.cpp is a superclass which is the same throughout the programs - it handles the basic socket communications.
**final notes:
I have tried to get W2000 and NT to shut down, but right now i can't seem to get the security permissions to work - i'm sure with a little finessing you will be able to get it.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP IF THE CODE HAS BEEN WRITTEN TOO CONFUSING
because it was just written for my personal testing the commenting is somewhat lacking
please email me trapzz@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses,but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:
1)Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2)NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

I must say that this is one of the most
involved C++ networking application
demos that I've come across on the net.
And it works great! Good job.

Hi, glad to say i'm a winner this month
to. Hey guys, i dont think he is trying
to make a trojan. this guy actually
knows what he's doing. he has it
connect to a remote computer to
manipulate it, not to destroy or steal
information. good coding. nice dos
console idea. and TheCyke, dont ask any
questions like that or you will be
reported.

Hey, does this only connect over a
network, or does it work across the
web? Could you make something ilke that
that works across the Net? btw, This is
the best program of its kind that i've
ever seen!

Great Program.... Ill be sure to design
more commands and then post it here
again

I will check out your code and get back
to you with a comment

Interesting ! I would be thrilled if
the program could update Oracle
database columns as well as retrieve
data from an Oracle database ! I'm
working on something like that. Good
job !

gr8 work...but if the server is behind
a proxy server and the sender tries to
connect

How do we make a connection b/w 2
computers behind proxy

u email me an email which i can reach
u, coz i need some help, my email,
takaya79@yahoo.com
| 10/3/2002 7:53:55 PM:INPUT control
I would like to try your software.
Please, can you send me a compiled and
executable copy? I pay you the price
that you ask me. I ask you this because
I have published a request in
planet-source-code.com, my nominative
is INPUT control and I looks for an ADV
Advanced Remote Control. If I try your
software and it has the characteristics
that I ask, I would like to ask to do
you some changes for me.
Best
regards
