Network Messenging

[MattGSX]

Back in middle school, we learned a way to send a messege to every computer on the school's network as a sort of pop-up, kind of like an error window, but after years of not doing this and drug use, I seem to have forgotten. Does anyone know how to do this, or if a certain program is required? I thought it was something we did through a command prompt or telnet, but I honestly can't remember anymore. I tried googling, but all I got were shareware network messenging systems like AIM that sit on the local network. Not quite what I'm looking for, since I can't install this on every computer I need to reach.

Any help would be awesome.

go to a command prompt and type in net send. It gives you the syntax of the command. There are various versions of this program in GUI but this is the original. The other way to do it, if you are on windows 95 or 98 is winpopup. This program allows you to sent a "win popup" to anyone else on the network that has winpopup running. That is the set back they have to have winpopup running AND you have to know their username. winpopup is located in C:/Windows near the bottom. My suggestion is to use a GUI version of net send.

Rock. Thank you, you guys. If I happened to be leeching on a neighbor's network and they bought a shitty new router (that kills a good portion of their signal and tends to drop connection), do you think it'd be okay to ask them to plug their old router back in when I move out or before?

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself., you want to send l33t h4x0r messages to people over wireless using net send. It could work but you need to know the computer names of the people you want to send to. To do this use the router... kinda lame though...

I'm not trying to be a 133t haxor. I just want to let them know they got ripped off on the router that they're using. I was also considering re-configuring it as a wireless gateway with restricted access (my MAC) or to encrypt their network for them and send them the password right before I move out to make sure their new neighbors can't exploit their network like I have been.
I've never done anything to their network, I just use it. I never snooped in their stuff, and I've never done anything illegal from this computer while connected to them to make sure nothing gets put on them. I seriously think they got ripped off on their new router, though. They went from a nice 2Wire to the bottom of the line Belkin.

I understand what you are syaing. I am not sure your neighbours will take kindly to you changing the password without asking first, this is how it should go, act like you know very little about the intarweb: just tell them the next time you see them, don't make a special trip over.

You: Hey, hows it going?

Them: Good and yourself?

You: I am fine, I think there is something wrong with your wireless router...

Them: Oh really, why do you say that?

You: Well I was using my laptop and I can completely access your internet for free and I don't want your other neighbours to start doing this as well...

Them: Is there a way I can stop this from happening?

You: If you want I can put a password on it and then tell you the password.

Them: Okay, if you know how.

You: Oh ya, I will put it on later on tonight, what do you want to set the password to?

Them: CACTUS!

You: Okay, if for some reason your internet asks you for a password it will be cactus.

Them: Okay great, thanks a lot!

You: No problem...

Continue friendly neighbour talk... My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.

all this post had made my curiosity to arise; my question is:

How the hell do access to a WEP 64 bits encrypted wireless signal???

If any of you can answer me that I'll be much grateful...

why did you post this here?

I assume you mean how do you gain acceess to a WEP encrypted network that you do not have access to.

OMG that is so cool.
 I tried sending it to myself but it didn't work.

1. Belkin sucks ass
2. I don't know how you're going to get their MAC addresses unless they're using DHCP so if you filter the MAC addresses their stuff will stop working
3. If you encrypt their traffic their stuff will stop working and they will either reset the router or call geek squad (or the cops). They won't just leave it plugged in for you to use until you move out.
4. How are you going to configure the router anyways? Is the password the Belkin default (Belkin54g or whatever)?
5. Isn't 2Wire the free router you get from SBC or whatever the fuck they call themselves now? Those things aren't great.

Enter the WEP key in the wep key box.

What Matt is doing sounds stupid as hell but...

1. I partially agree with that
2. Linux
3. Unless you want to get technical with a second AP and cloning MAC addresses, this is a bad idea
4. Default password
5. 2Wires suck more than Belkins
