useful utility, but that's for local drives is it not?

May well work for a mapping to a shared drive though...

ill try quick

PHR33K · Post by **PHR33K** » 11 May 2008, 14:26

have a look through milw0rm for remote-code-execution vulnerabilities for known applications. Then you might need to code a bit of shellcode (but I think milw0rm has a good collection of that too) to open/close the cd drive. but if not, if you find a vulnerability give send me a pm and I'll help you out.

Right I am recalling this necro post to have some of my own fun.

We have all created Server 2003 computers using Virtual PC and I have been playing around however I have run into a few snags.

I want to enable the messenger service of a target machine and I have the admin user name and password but I lack the command.

Net Start messenger etc-Now to get it to target a PC with user name and password added for access.

I want to create a batch file that repeats the command X number of times (I think you can see where I'm going with this).
repeat for X number of times (all I could think of from Turbo Pascal days)

I have full access to the command prompt and I can run batch files even on the original non virtual PC based network so I am going to have some fun.

I will post any solutions I find here for others to use

UrBaN · Post by **UrBaN** » 15 May 2008, 17:40

I would appreciate that very much

I tried the shutdown -m \\username command but had no luck.

endev8003 · Post by **endev8003** » 15 May 2008, 18:45

It's actually shutdown -m \\computername

You use the pc's network name, not the username. That might be why it is not working.

SilverBack
Someone suggested using dameware. I haven't taken a look at it yet, so I'm not sure it will work. They guy said that you don't need a server program or service on the target computer, nut you probably need admin user rights.

ie.

username can be PC name or IP address.

Doesn't work on XP though.

I'm sure it runs on XP. I used to use it

endev8003 · Post by **endev8003** » 15 May 2008, 20:13

It does work on XP, but I know it can be disabled. It is disabled on my employer's network. I don't know if it is enabled by default though.

My friend and myself used to send a lot of messages using net send. At first, I used to have win98, and you needed to run winpopup before you could send or receive messages.

UrBaN · Post by **UrBaN** » 15 May 2008, 21:49

Hmm ok my bad, pls tell me how to enable it on XP then, I can't use Google because this one time, at band camp...Well jamin gatecrashed and it's been dodgy ever since.

@ Endev: I meant computername, not username - just a typo. But I found a good writeup of how to enable it, will post tomorrow.

Frozenfireside · Post by **Frozenfireside** » 15 May 2008, 22:55

The messenger service needs to be enabled but it is disabled by default for security reasons, hence I need 'net start messenger' but over a network.

I now need a repeat command to send 100 000 irritating messages to my mate.

Try it now

UrBaN · Post by **UrBaN** » 15 May 2008, 23:06

I r enabled it

It won't let me send messages to my bro, but because it his PC is off and I have removed his RAM..I can live with it. It is only Windows after all

Clickity Click, then scroll down and click on REMOTE ADMINISTRATION ON XP PRO

If you have admin rights

you could remotely send a schedule task that will launch you CDROM open/close program.

Search google on how to use the AT command for schedule tasks.

Or if you know how to use winsock use that to trigger and open the CDrom.

Frozenfireside · Post by **Frozenfireside** » 16 May 2008, 15:02

The first question we need to ask: How can we stop or start a service remotely?

One way is to use the GUI. The service manager I showed you before can connect to a remote computer. Using this method it takes three clicks and about 45 seconds. 45 Seconds x 400 machines = about 5 hours of lots of clicking.

We definitely want to use the command line for this one.

Microsoft has a utility in the resource kit for Windows XP professional named (sc.exe)

It follows this syntax:

sc.exe computername action service_name

It lets you start and stop services of a remote computer from the command line. Now we are on the right track. Still...I don't like the way this program operates. The major feature it is missing is authentication. I want to provide a username and password all in the same command line tool.

I took the liberty to create such a tool. (Free) It can be downloaded from here

It follows this syntax:

RemoteService.exe HOST ACTION SERVICENAME [USERNAME] [PASSWORD]

Possible actions are: STOP, or START

Username and password are optional.

For the SC.exe command try the 'run as' option and enter in the target PCs admin details.

for a repeat command that never stops try this

set count=
:loop
set count=%count%*
net send ed-pc hello
if not %count%==********** goto loop

Ok, so I coded a open close app. Simple, easy. Found a MS tool called PSexec...comes with PsTools. Now the nice thing about this utility is you can run any file on a remote pc as if you were on the pc itself. So...I copied my exe to a windows folder (so they wont find it

) and then I use PSExec to run the file on the users pc.

The result...cdrom opens then closes. Had some fun yesterday. Only thing that needs updating is the app needs to read waht drive the Cd Rom is on. One guy has his CD Rom as his "G:\" drive...so the app didnt pick it up (defaults to D). So...just need to update it to read all CD Rom drives on the users pc.

Wher can I upload the source code for those interested? BTW...recon this is a cool little app...couldnt find one on the net that works simple like this...pitty its in 2 parts (the EXE and then using the PSExec tool), but still...its simple, so thats what I was looking for
