While I was reading my course book (ie..networking) I saw a recommendation link http://samspade.org/ and it is used as very handy tool for net admin. I went in that site didn't know where to start.
I was trying to go through FAQ, didn't bother. I like the way hard working guys on AO explains it. Can anyone light my head pls? I am so curious about it.
Did you download it or not?
If you did, try putting a IP address or url in the address feild and playing around with the various options available to you.
I cud have played around, didn't knew i had to download it. Where is the download link? I thought it's web based tool.

//Lol, you got there first Relyt!
must have been only by a nano-second though...lol
and rajunpl, let's not be lazy either, don't be afraid to use a search engine on these little inquiries, two of us found links real easily
cheers
Cheers mate, good suggestion I do use search engine, but that was like new kid on the block. So I just bother coming here on AO and ask, who has much better knowledge,
Anyway, for now, i am even wondering shall i download it now or in the evening
weekend guys.
download it 7:43 pm
SamSpade is a collection of tools for tracking spammers put together with a GUI. if your concerned with doing well in your course you should learn to use the individual tools that it contains without the GUI. learn to do a zone transfer and test smtp servers for yourself first (do you know what a zone file is?). learn all about ping, tracert, whois and dig. read the smtp RFCs. samspade is a handy tool for one that already knows how to use these tools or for someone that has no need to know how to use them but just needs the results. if you know what these tools are and how to use them you'll have no questions on how to use it. its self explanitory. if you dont your wasting your own time.
Thanks tedob
I downloaded it,
Does it concern with outlook express,eudora and stuffs or work with yahoo and hotmail as well. It says socket error when i just type url ? i know socket is ip+port no.
well it's like fun...fun but really since i love to do practise more than i read i dunno why i hate reading so much. But want to know. any way i will keep on trying, if anyone could give me plain usage technique ,i 'd more than greatful.If not i go trying.
Cheers Tedob, helped me phew.
Spade basically takes all the basic networking tools (ping, traceroute, nslookup, etc..) and roles them into one fairly easy GUI. Neat little tool, but you can do most everything at any given CLI, be it Windows or *nix. Granted, *nix usually has a bit more to play with.

it doesn't concern itself with email clients at all, but rather the header information received in the email. theres a rather good paper on reading email headers that comes with sam spade.
"socket error"? what kind of a connection do you have and what are you trying to do? are you behind a firewall? what kind?
ZA, software firewall.
have you checked in ZA's control panel under program control to be sure ZA is allowing it
