Send him an email with backoriface attached. Then just findout his IP address. There are back oriface control apps for linux even. Or, if you can somehow get VNC installed on his computer without his notcing... maybe try the PingOfDeath, or any other numerous things. Something even more simple might be to use smbclient and see if he has any shares on his computer. (If it is NT, he already has C$ as a share) Jay On Friday 14 September 2001 01:04 pm, you wrote: > I have a friend who has dared me to get into his computer.
