Surprise Non-Email Spam In Windows XP
from the just-what-we-need dept
Isabel writes "TechTV.com is reporting that there is a way in Windows NT, 2000 and XP to spam users without sending an email. The spam uses Micosoft's Messenger (not to be confused with MSN Messenger), a service used by sys admins to get status on their servers and clients. With a little bit of port sniffing and a batch file, Messenger can be used by spammers to show advertising. TechTV.com explains how messenger spam works and how you can stop it."

Ah, man, who told the media!!!
We've been doing this for centuries, smbclient -M works great for social engineering users too...
Not that I use it for anything illegal...it is just funny as hell (in a BOFH kinda way,) sending a message to a user on one of my servers notifying them that I am watching them closely on all the pr0n they are looking at... Of course, we also use them to send jokes around the office.

Re: Ah, man, who told the media!!!
This stupid spamming scum sucking swine actually left me an 800 number to call!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 888-268-2841 and tell her what you think of her spamming ways!! Her name is Deb Balser and the crap she is selling is some multi-level vitamin scam. Feel free to post this her number anywhere you like. Call as often as you can! It should run up her phone bill quite a bit! ASLO after your message let her know that DR Latte told you to call her (I want this bitch to know who did this to her)
Thank you
