oh, I was like, why is the|Specialist talking like that? Wouldn't he get my point?

TheSpecialist? w/ 4 posts, yeah. ok, sorry.

You can't use notepad interactively from another computer, i.e. once you start it, without a third party program, terminal services (which, consequentially, I think may be what this dude is after), or some crazy trick messing with internal windows messaging remotely like some simpler trojans can do, you can't do much with notepad once it's started.

I did miss the crucial clue for running NT something, he hasn't mentioned what the other computers are specifically, but he did say they all called cmd.exe. I missed that, and that means he most likely has some NT version or above, quite posibbly xp, since he didn't think it necessary to be specific.

Oh, your here phonedog911? didn't mean to talk about you in 3rd person. lol.

This will work, I've done it before just for fun. I'm doing some testing and such, since this topic has me interested again. I like zark0id's method, but I haven't gotten it to work myself. Speak of the devil:

zark0id:

Are you sure those should work? they don't work for me. It seems fairly reasonable logic, but it doesn't work as described for me. Yes, I changed the IP's I'm quite familiar with nc, and could come up with some similar things on my own, but yours are so simple. If your sure they'll work exactly as described, just let me know, and I'll just figure out why they don't work for me.

Thanks.
