- Mail Spoofing Explained
-
- NOTE: this was written with newbies in mind, thats why it's so simple and
- through. If you're more advanced, bear with it :)
- Ok, here is the most through, and explained mail spoofing article ever
- writen. First of all, let's define mail spoofing. Have you ever wanted to
- mail somebody annonymously? Have you ever wanted to send mail from adresses
- such as nasa.com, fbi.org, or just about anything else? Of course you have!
- All we need is a telnet client. This method uses a very simple thing called
- smtp, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Wait, don't run away
- yet, it may sound complicated but it really isn't. Here are the steps you
- have to take:
-
- * telnet to port 25 of any web server
- * type: mail from: spoofed@adress.com
- * type: rcpt to: recipient@of.the.letter.org
- * type: data
- * type: your message here
- * type: .
-
- Does this seam unclear to you? Well, I thought of that, below are step by
- step instructions for windows95:
-
- If you're runing win 95:
-
- * click on start, and chose run
- * type: telnet in the dialog box
- * press enter-a telnet client pops up
- * click on "terminal" menu
- * chose preferences
- * make sure that "Enable local echo" is checked
- * click on the "connect" menu
- * click on "remote system"-a dialog box pops up
- * enter any adress in the dialog box (example: www.omnics.co.jp)
- * see where it says "port" delete the stuff inside, and type number 25
- * click connect
-
- Ok, now we're connected to the host, see the little greeting message? good.
- Now issue the following command just like you see them: Replace the
- xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx with anything you want, my personal favorite is
- president@whitehouse.org be creative ;)
-
- * mail from: xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx
- * rcpt to: place the adress where you wanna send the mail to here
- * data
- * type your message here
- * .
- * (yes, that is a period by itself ;)
-
- Boom, you're done, the mail has been sent :) Wanna hear a funny thing? This
- isn't even illegal :)
-
- Here's a more info on this, which is intented for a bit more advanced
- users, newbies are welcome to read this too, it explains how this works.
- You see, port 25 is the mail port. When you telnet to the mail port, you
- get to talk to the mail daemon. Mail daemons, speak smpt. Interested in
- learning more about smpt? After connecting to the host, just type "help"
- and you'll get some commands to play around with.
