Now that thats out of the way lets get to it.
In order to send a fake or spoofed e-mail all you have to do is telnet to a mail server on the SMTP port (25) type in a few commands and boom its done.
Sounds easy yeah, well it is.
How do I find a mail server to use I hear you ask, well there a few sites that you can use, personaly would I use www.network-tools.com just because it is so easy to use.
But there are others you can use like www.dnsstuff.com and there are progs that can help as well like IP Tools which you can d/l from my site.
If you use one of these sites you can just type in the e-mail address of the person who you are sending the e-mail to and use their mail server.
Once you have the mail server i.e mx1.hotmail.com (for hotmail) or smtp.btconnect.com (for btconnect) you are ready to send them a fake e-mail.
Open a command prompt, i.e start > run > cmd or command (depending on your OS) and type in "telnet (mail server here) 25" without the "", it should look like this :-
Press enter and then wait for it to connect to the mail server, once it has connected you will see something like this :-
Now I will tell you how to send a message to someone. I will explain it as if I was sending a message to myself and then I will put a screen shot at the end so you can see what the whole thing should look like.
After each command is entered you will have to press enter
It's always nice to say hello so type HELO, You will get a response like 250 tmailb1.svr.pol.co.uk Hello [Your IP]
Next you want to state who the e-mail is going to be from, so you use the MAIL FROM: command
> mail from:fake@fake.com
Next you want to state who the e-mail is being sent to, so you use the RCPT TO: command
> mail to:shamusthedonkey@hotmail.com
In order to start the message off you have to use the DATA command, so quite simply type DATA and press enter
To make the e-mail look more genuine (if it's not just for a silly joke) you can put in extra bits like who it's from (again, don't ask), the date and the subject. Now after DATA you can either add these things or just start the message but once you are done press enter
and then to end the message and to send it type a singe dot i.e .
So the full thing looks like this :-
helo
mail from:fake@fake.com
rcpt to:shamusthedonkey@hotmail.com
data
From: fake@fake.com
Date: 17/02/04
Subject: Fake E-mail
This is the text of the fake e-mail message.
.
Easy huh, I knew you would understand, heres what it looks like in a command prompt :-
Well I hope you learned something from that and enjoyed it, this is my first tut and I thought I would do it on something nice and simple.
