The only real place to get it is from the programmers (who are mainly a bunch of media whores, but also write some good stuff) at their website, site deleted No link provided, so you’ll have to find it yourself. But then if you can’t navigate a website, you shouldn’t really be remote-administering a computer.
I am always amazed at all the politicizing and commentary by people who don’t know what they’re ranting about. BO2k and Netbus are no more dangerous than PC Anywhere or whatever remote admin program Norton puts out. They have the same capabilities and the same weaknesses.
All 4 programs are remote administration tools. The only differences are: Norton and PC Anywhere are bloatware and memory hogs. BO2K and Netbus are small and efficient, and operate transparently. That is why they can be spread as trojans. The tools are no more evil than a hammer. It can be used constructively or stupidly. That’s it.
Chas E, is it really necessary for you to start screaming like that? Can you just answer the question without attacking the questioner? You don’t need to act like a paranoid alarmist. “it is evil and so are you”
The program is not evil. The only thing that’s evil is the stupidity that causes you to install a program sent to you by some random person. sheesh.
I found it, but don’t know if i should use it. Although all of you think I have ill intent. I just want to get some facts. Joe Cool seems to be the only person out there who really wants to educate. If I send it to someone and he or she runs it, can some random person out there get into the infected computer??? Is there any way to stop this? Could I run it on somebody in my own cable LAN without fear of anyone on the net using it?(except for those others in the LAN?
Thanks
I believe that you have to get them to run the .exe
Rename it as “open me” and send it to them in an email.
There are some programs that you send to your victim(dare I use the word) that have Black Orifice disguised as a game, like Frogger. When they play the game, it installs the trojan on their system.
Well yeah, my friend sent me it one time, he tried to say that it was some program that allowed you to access any Napster server. It had a strange extension that I had never seen before. Of course my Norton picked it up. He is one of those pirates who has used up all of the space on the Hard DriveS, with stuff they never used like Adobe, a whole slew of compilers and programming crap, movies, tons of games, and 3d studio max stuff. But ANYWAY, my question is, can other ppl truly gain acces to the other computer, and is this preventable.
Sure Joe, I could easily have answered the question about where to get the program. But I prefer to remain unbanned from SDMB.
FYI, I once set up BO on a test machine, I got it direct from the authors so it wasn’t patched or modded or anything. I set it up as securely as possible (yes, I know what I’m doing) then left it up and running on the machine, which had a live broadband connection to the net. Within hours, my machine was probed and other people connected to it and had the run of my machine.
BO is evil. It has no legitimate uses that can be separated from the evil purposes.
