UGN Security Forums UGN Security: Underground General Telnet

Ok for win2k i can use telnet remote server adminstration, log on and control my computer using command.exe but can i request a file from a server for example an html file.

yep, you just have to follow the protocol. I forget the specific text, but I think it's

get filename.html HTTP//1.1

I have no doubt SR will be quick to give you the correct method.

thanx ill ask him

Are you going to learn ALL protocols you're interested in by asking questions like this on the board? Or are you gonna do some simple searching like a google "protocol HTTP tutorial".

To answer your question:

Example: http://www.joecartoon.com/pages/mantra/index.html

Connect: www.joecartoon.com port 80

GET /pages/mantra/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.joecartoon.com
Connection: close

hit enter twice after typing the above.

To easily find the server software and perhaps OS for a given webserver:

Example: www.yahoo.com
Connect: www.yahoo.com port 80

HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.yahoo.com
Connection: close

hit enter twice after the above

thanx
