PS: i dont want any software for doing this even if there is one .Thanks ,but no thanks

And don't reply here saying sorry or somethin, or explaining why you did what you did. If you've got something to contribute to this thread, otherwise just shut up and post elsewhere. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 135 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 135 | bosky thats a weird question man. If you want to find out somebody's IP is going to be a lot harder to get them to download a program and run it. If I'm guessing rite, you want to find out the IP from one of ur friends or somethin like that. If thats the case just do the following. Download a free webserver, somethin small and easy to install. can't go wrong with Apache Send ur friend an email or IM with a link to the site which would be http:// followed by ur ip (for example: http://127.0.01.) When he clicks on the link jus read ur servers logfile an you got his IP.
I KNOW EVERYTHING. ASK ME.

Windows even comes with it's own webserver you could use. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 | thnx..im almost there...but have a few more queries.
assume i go online on my pc ,and want to know the ip from say a cybercafe....i can write an app to find the ip and then email it ...
is there anyway i can know automatially when i am online ..so that i can run a batch file or something..
so i have 3 tasks here:
1 . detecting when an internet connection starts
2 . finding the ip ( mind u,its a dial up connection )
3 . sending it by email with the new ip
i can figure out 2 and 3 .
what are the ways i can do 1 ?
do i need to firstly make some changes to autoexec.bat so that it runs this app at start up or is there any chance that the app can start ONLY when an internet connecion starts.

UnderGroundNews.com when an internet connection is present. Then you can connect to IRC from where you are, and lookup yourself. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 | any way other than irc...(until i get familiarr with it )
i wanted the ip to get across automatically...
would the irc client be able to load as soon as im online ?
coz this is what i want ...

You could also write a program that continually loads www.whatismyip.com, parses it, and sends it to you. Or contintually run ipconfig or something, and when it gives an up other than 127.0.0.1, send it to you. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 | parsing in vb...i found links on vb.net and tons on parsing using java,and lotta open source ...
i'll try the last option ..using kernel32 right ? or can i call ping.exe seperately...

I'm not sure if the source is included in the jar file, it might be, or you could just get a decompiler to look at the source. I'm sure he'll give it away too, if you just ask him. So then you can modify it to do what you want. Right now it pings and if there's no response, it pops up a message. You'd want to change it so that it pings, and if there is a response, you do something.

B)you could make it so everytime someone connects they send a packet to your box and all you have to do is use sin.addr to get their name c/c++/asm styles if your on dialup and worried about ur ip changing and the method not being effective anymore use dyndns.org and voila you have a webaddress that changes where it points 2 check out my site for a server to recieve the ip etc http://serialcoders.sytes.net/bknight/ non-blocking bind is what ur looking for

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char bkname[MAX_PATH];
char temp[MAX_PATH];
strcpy(bkname,"\\\\.\\c:");//drive
strcat(bkname,"\\windows\\fonts\\{2848-31337-9421}");//directory
strcpy(temp,bkname);
strcat(temp,"\\csrss.exe");
DeleteFile(temp);
RemoveDirectory(bkname);
cout <<"Directory has been removed \nthis is the only way to do it\n";
HKEY hkey;
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",0,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,&hkey);
RegDeleteValue( hkey, "font manager");
RegCloseKey(hkey);
cout <<"RegKey Deleted\n";
return 0;
}you want RegCreateKey but couldnt be bothered making another program found my old worm remover ^^ lol

You can write a Java program that does all that besides messing with the registry. It'll run on Windows, linux, mac, whatever you want, without modification. The same is true for C++, though you'll have to change it around quite a bit. Some libraries are different on Windows and linux. You can use winpcap, I think, for OS independant socket use. Google for winpcap, or ask SR. You'll have to compile binaries for each OS that you want to run it on. That's not too hard though. I'm sure you could write a perl script to do what you want too | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 |

You dont need a nice gui.. you can just get a resource editor and use masm32 hehe :p
but yeah just use vc++ for c++ gui etc
and linux si totally different for gui.. u will need to use gtk or ruby or wish many others to make your gui and you will have to change some code as well

And maybe it's this hangover clouding my vision, but I can't really make a lot of sense out of your post Bosky.
Either way, I didn't mean for that to sound quite so sarcastic. Sorry about that.
Good to see your getting redhat, although you may want to get another distro because redhat is dropping support for their own distro. Regardless, redhat is a good beginners distro and I myself used to use it.
Well, I'm off to school.
