I got an insight into this recently from my son.
(Tip: If you really want to find out about the 'net - ask a teenager)
This guy has to deal with 'lamers' who try to use the myriad of tools for
hacking under Dos/Win. For the unwary, they're impressive. To the networking
type, they're easily dealt with. Seeing as there was recently a discussion
about winmodems, this may be of relevance
Netbus: (Can be packaged onto a jpg). You click on the jpg, it runs! When
online, the hacker can open and close cdrom, swap mouse buttons, show pics
onscreen, d/l your screen, shut windows, etc.
Assniffer: A tool for identifying the dynamic IP assigned to someone while
online.
iptracer: ditto.
This done, with the small netbus or back orifice (below)installed, you are up
for grabs by the hacker.
portlistener: does what it says.
BackOrifice: A similar invasion technique to Netbus - easier to land them
with, but less capable.
Scripts: Myriads of scripts for IRC channels - varying effectiveness
These are free for download on 'lame hacker' websites, mainly places which
boast of their hacking prowess. Only a 'lamer' uses Dos/win tools, I'm
informed. I might add my son doesn't use these, he just has some of them and
has done the research.
