UGN Security Forums UGN Security: Underground General Need help connecting to computers remotely

hey guys.. i have real vnc and i can connect to all my computers that actually have real vnc installed on them.. is there any programs that anyone knows of that you can connect to a computer by IP address alone and DO NOT need to physically install the program to connect to the computer.. also.. how do i figure out someone's IP address based on their email address or say aol im address.. do i have to "connect" to them by accepting the request say if i wanted to send a pic or something then type netstat -p tcp to figure out their ip address.. any and all help is greatly appricated thanks guys

Both linux and windows have ways to allow remote control installed with the operating system. However, AFAIK, only XP has it installed by default. You can use remote desktop. Windows 2000 has a service you can install called Terminal Services and does pretty much the same thing. You can download the terminal services client from microsoft which will connect to remotedesktop and terminal services. If can also be installed as a convenient web activeX I believe.

And as for email, view FULL HEADERS and they should have a field for ORIGIN IP or something similar to that, which will show the individuals IP address.

thanks man.. is there any other programs out there.. besides the default ones for xp and 2000.. cause what if the computer i want to connect to doesnt have xp or 2000 or doesnt have them installed..

the ORIGIN IP field that jonconley speaks of must not be common cause I've never seen it before. However, there are RECIEVED fields that are found in all emails. The only problem is that sometimes the first RECIEVED field does not contain the originators IP, but the originator mail services IP. When I say 'first' I actually mean the LAST occurance of RECIEVED.

Example 1:

Received: from 216.136.174.9 (HELO web13609.mail.yahoo.com) (216.136.174.9) by mta175.mail.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 06 Mar 2003 10:05:46 -0800 (PST)

Recieved: from <SenderDomainNotFound> (HELO <SenderDomainAsSpecifiedBySender>) (<RealSenderIP>) by <RecieverDomain> with <Protocol>; <DateTimeRecieved>

Example 2 (multiple fields):

Received: from web2301.mail.yahoo.com (128.11.68.52) by mta135.mail.yahoo.com with SMTP; 09 Jul 2000 17:08:10 -0700 (PDT)
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Received: from [209.253.72.45] by web2301.mail.yahoo.com; Sun, 09 Jul 2000 17:01:28 PDT
Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000 17:01:28 -0700 (PDT)

Recieved: from <SenderDomain> (<SenderIP>) by <RecieverDomain> with <Protocol>; <DateTimeRecieved>
Message-ID: <POP3ID@SenderDomain>
Recieved: from <SenderIP> by <RecieverDomain>; <DateTimeRecieved>

In the last example the originator IP is 209.253.72.45. At minimum all Recieved fields will have a format similar to this:

Recieved: from <SenderInfo> by <RecieverInfo>; <AnyOtherInfo>

Nah, you right. I just didn't remember what it was called and didn't feel like checking myself.
