Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Shutdown command shortcut help

I made a shortcut with the shutdown command but when I send it to people via yahoo instead of showing the shortcut name, it says shutdown.exe. Not many peope will open that.

Anybody know how to change that?

Write a program that calls shutdown.exe? Get a life?

Oh, if you're so good I challenge you to write a startup.exe, that when clicked will make the computer turn itself on.

I bet you can't.

Programs wont run on the operating system unless it's already on. Therefore, your challenge is moot

Bah ! If you're not good enough to do so, just say so. There's no need to lie about how it isn't possible and such...

You're just a lousy programmer. [;]

In fact you could, you didn't specify if startup.exe has to be executed on the same computer as the one that will boot.

Wake up on lan
