kansasskydiver 0 #2 January 27, 2004 depending how stupid they are, a simple setting in outlook can make it appear that the person has recieved an email from anyone, even themselves... edit: if you'd like an example, pm me your email address and full name and i'll send you an email from yourself<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!

Not criminal stuff, but fun stuff like pranks. Any help. Thanks. E-mail is sent using the SMTP protocol. SMTP is a 'human readable' protocol and operates on TCP port 25. If you connect to a mail server on port 25 you can forge mail all you want. SMTP is broken down into 3 parts, Envelope, Header and Body (the message). The envelope consists of SMTP commands, The Header consists of headers (duh) which contain things like Date, From, Subject, To ... Mail servers deliver mail based on the ENVELOPE ONLY. Headers are used by your mail client to make things look pretty. Bare minimum envelope is: HELO MAIL FROM: [email protected] RCPT TO: [email protected] DATA . QUIT Some common headers are: From: To: Subject: Date: Headers ALWAYS start with a CAPITAL letter and end with a COLON. You CANNOT have spaces in a header. Take a look at some of your existing mail to see the other headers or check out the RFC The body ends with a . (period) on a line by itself followed by a return So, if you connect to my mail server you can forge mail to me... Try this... matthewcrocker$ telnet mail.crocker.com 25 Trying 204.97.12.61... Connected to mail.crocker.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 cw-4.crocker.com ESMTP HELO 250 cw-4.crocker.com MAIL FROM: [email protected] 250 ok RCPT TO: [email protected] 250 ok DATA 354 go ahead From: Dubya To: Uber-Dude Date: 01/01/01 Subject: Forged Mail This is a forged mail message.. WOOHOOO!!!! . 250 ok 1075170626 qp 23569 quit 221 cw-4.crocker.com Connection closed by foreign host. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kansasskydiver 0 #5 January 27, 2004 I still like my way better. Just have outlook generate a boggie header for you and send out from your own account. Given the average person they'd never think to read into the real machine lang header and see what servers and from where it was sent. I demonstrated this with JeffD eariler and it works just fine. Outlook>Tools>Accounts> Name: pick one Email: whoever you want it to show up as Save changes, close and send email, but then remember to change it back to yoru settings<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist!
