- II. Fake E-mail
- (Fooling UUCP)
-
- HOW DO I MAKE FAKE MAIL (OR HOW DO I FOOL UUCP)?
- (from Beelzebub, Doktor Nil w/ Belisarius)
-
- 1. Telnet to port 25 of any internet server
- (eg. telnet site.name.and.address 25)
- 2. If at all possible, AVOID TYPING "HELO".
- 3. Type: rcpt to (person to receive fake mail){ENTER}
- 4. Type: mail from (fake name and address){ENTER}
- 5. The mail server should ok each time after each name.
- 6. If it does not:
- a) type vrfy and then the name of the person
- b) as a last resort use helo, this will login your computer as
- having been the source of the mail
- 7. Retype the commands, it should say ok now.
- 8. Type: data{ENTER}
- 9. The first line of the message will be the Subject line
- 10. Enter your letter
- 11. To send letter type a "." on an empty line.
- 12. Then type quit{ENTER}
- 13. This is traceable by any sysadmin ... don't harass people this
- way.
- 14. If the person receiving the mail uses a shell like elm he/she
- will not see the telltale fake message warning
- "Apparently-To:(name)" even if not, most people wouldn't know
- what it means anyway.
- 15. Make sure you use a four part address somebody@part1.pt2.pt3.pt4
- so as to make it look more believable and cover any add-ons the
- mail routine might try
- 16. Put a realistic mail header in the mail message to throw people
- off even more. If there are To: and Date: lines then the
- program probably won't add them on.
- 17. Also try to telnet to the site where the recipient has his
- account. This works better if you know how to fool it.
