So, I am a new user of the new win xp.I just got me a WinXp box about a month ago. Over all, I have been impresses by its GUI, and all the cool little features.Very user freindly, with out being painstakingly obnoxious. One lil section that gets me, is the administration tools folder. I havent got a real chance to play with it....but as it seems you can request a call for "assistence" and WINDOWS will accept RAT connections from a specified Ip address.

Now, I have talked with some other Tech's up here, and the VERY few that have used this RAT, say that on the client side, you have just about every option you could imagine. You even get a screenshot every second or so. Windows even politly disables the server sides mouse and keyboard FOR you.
How sweet.

Question: How are these requests for assitence made?

This I am sure could be easily exploited. I am sure a simple script could activate this "call for help". And just think the security hole it would create, if an evildoer created a worm that ran this script. Replicating itself over and over and over. Thousands, if not millions could be effected by this. Hopefully forcing Microsoft to release a patch. (Yeah Right)

Question: Does .vbs work the same in Xp as it does in 98? Meaning can somone create a .vbs script in an HTML page and write somesort of assistence request program to there disk simply by clicking? Kinda like the "GodMesage" exploit.
