hmmm, did you know "net send" works across the Internet?

[Relayer]

I just sent a net send message to a lady at work that I was helping with her PC. She emailed me and I got her IP from that. It seemed to go through. Spooky!

Net commands will work on any box that you can reach by IP and, in some cases (depends on command), can provide the correct credentials for.

This shouldn't be surprising as the internet is just one big network.

Yep, I used it to freak out a girl I know last night after she sent me an aim direct connect request and I got her ip address.

What is the syntax?

 

[Daniel]

net send x.x.x.x Hi!!
x.x.x.x being the ip address

 

[kirkles0206]

this is what I get using the above.....

the message alias could not be found on the network.
more help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273

however, if i use that taget's username/domain, he gets the message.
