WinSock how do we use it now-a-days

[Cppsean]

So does anyone know how we use WinSockets now a days? I need to know! It seems everything doesnt work

[Vorfin]

Like?

Code:

Imports System.Net.Sockets

Public Class Form1
    Dim sock As New TcpClient()
    Dim ip As IPAddress = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1")
    Dim port As Integer = 81

Vorfin, would you know any good sources up-2-date to learn this???

[Vorfin]

Not public ones, sorry, the only ones I have is my RAT(Private Source) Although if you look around HackForums, and HackHound you might be able to find some examples.

[Cppsean]

Alright thanks Vorfin, I will take a look around hackforums.

Vorfin, I have found a book, seems to be on .NET written in 2003, you could probbaly google it, if you want a direct link to download tell me, so anyways here it is



I was wondering judging by that code snappit, do you think it could provide usefull insite?



Here is a quote from the Section Chapter 14, "Adding digital Telephony" Chapter tells you how to make a answer system for your phone, well take a look at this.

"To implement a simple phone dialer in .NET, open Visual Studio
.NET and start a new Windows forms project. Right-click on the toolbox
and click Customize Toolbox (or Add/Remove Items in Visual Studio
.NET 2003). Click on the COM Controls tab, and then add the Microsoft
Communications control (
MSCOMM.OCX
). Drag this onto the form, and set
the
comport
property to the COM port number to which your modem is
connected. Add a button to the form, named
btnPhone
, click it, and add
this code:"


Now the text up their is a little jumbled from the PDF but you get the idea. It says, "MSCOMM.OCX" I could not find that in the Visual Studio 2008? Any Idea?? Maybe I need to download a lower version of Visual Studio, what do you think?

[Vorfin]

It could be, but I was under the impression to use phone calling, you have to be on dial-up. Something to do with the phones tone.

[Cppsean]

Well did you look at the code, with the TcpClient, take a look and tell me if that looks up to date, I am only good with looking at the C++ Code haha, this stuff is new for me.. I've been reading books thowe.

[Vorfin]

Yep, it looks up to date to me. Although if you want to start using VB.NET for WinSock, I would advise learning some C#, as it is more high end than VB.NET. As you already know some C++ it should even be easier to learn than VB.NET would.

[Cppsean]

Haha, I dont need more complexity I came to VB.NET for simplicity, all it will be doing it contacting web servers, sending messages back and forth, this isn't a game hah, but thanks \/orfin, you Help is highly appreciated at Support Forums, and HackForums! See you on the journey.

Best Wishes, CppS3an
