How Net Send Spammers Work (+ FIX)
The following is a code that sends the word "spam" as a message to an entire IP range.
I would like to explain how this code works.
This is basicly for people who want to understand how their chosen to receive spam.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -w
$message_text = "spam";
places the word "spam" in a variable called "message_text"
$first_x2_ip = "192.168";
Set starting range of IP's (192.168) in variable "first_x2_ip"
"Im going to break an IP address into sections... A.B.C.D When i refer to part "A" of the IP 192.168.0.3 i'm refering to 192 adn when i refer to C i'm refering to 0."
for ($countb=0; $countb<257; $countb++) {
Starts 192.168.0.0 and ends 192.168.257
for ($counta=1; $counta<257; $counta++) {
For Every Addition to section "C" do a loop for part "D". 192.168.C.0 to 192.168.C.257
$send_message_to = "$first_x2_ip.$countb.$counta";
Sets send_message_to as the generated IP... 192.168.C.D
&message_send;
Call Function MESSAGE_SEND
}
}
sub message_send {
system("net send $send_message_to = $message_text");
Use net send to send message to the value of send_message_to (Generated IP). The message will be the variable message_text ("spam")
print "$send_message_to\n";
Display on screen the person who just got the spam message.
}

FIX
=======================================
Goto StratMenu>>RUN>> Type "Services.msc"
Something Should Pop-Up
Right-Click on the Service called "Messanger" and select Properties
Click on General Tab
Under Service Status Click The "STOP" Button.
On the same tab, under "Startup Type" select "Disabled"
Click Apply
Your All Done!
I belive that if you have Ad-Aware installed then most likely the messenger service has already been disabeled.
