EXAMPLE OF HOW TO USE THE "TCP/IP - MAP PORT" COMMAND

 

One of the best features of BO2K is the ability to map ports. The diagram below will try and explain why we would want to do this. The example shown is a simple demonstration using an IRC server but the same principle is used for connecting to web,e-mail, or other BO2K servers etc.

 
Computer C can only trace back your connection as far Computer B, your IP number remains anonymous. If you do something bad then Computer B will be blamed. If you do something good Computer B will get blamed. If Computer B was wise and had security in his mind then your connection and connection to Computer C would be logged and may raise suspicion....... make sure your target computer B is not so clever. The average Computer B user would not have a clue that anything was going on. In theory you should be able to chain BO'd machines together, meaning that you can have several machines between computer B and computer C. (BTW the PC in the diagram is a Sinclair Z80 the system that MSN uses for IRC servers :) j/k

 

STEP BY STEP ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE EXAMPLE :

1) Open up you BO2K client and connect to the remote BO2K server as you would do normally.

2) Select Server Command > TCP/IP and then MAP PORT > OTHER IP.

3) In the "Server Port" text box enter a port number. This will be the port number you will be connecting to soon. Don't use the port number that you use to connect to BO on or any other port that may conflict. In this example we will use Port 51515.

4) In the "Target IP Address:Port" text box enter the address and port number of the IRC server you wish to use. IRC servers usually use port 6667. In this example we will use an MSN server (Official Name: chat.msn.com IP address: 207.46.216.26 Alias: irc.msn.com) so we enter 207.46.216.26:6667 into the box. Click the "Send Command" button. "Port service startup successful." should then appear in the Server Response box. You can now disconnect from the Bo server. What you have done is configure the Bo'd machine so that anything it receives on port 51515 gets re-routed to the IRC server's port 6667.

5) Next open up your IRC client, lets say MIRC. Configure a new IRC server like in the screen shot below. In the example we use 127.0.0.1 for the server address here you would want to enter the IP number of your remote BO'd machine. The Port number is the 51515 port we configured earlier. You can now connect to this with MIRC and chat as normal under the disguise of the BO'd machine.

6) When you are bored with this, remember to reconnect to the BO'd machine and remove the mapped port.

The above is just a lame example how you could use the Map Port command. A little more interesting is using the same method for sending e-mail. The e-mail can only be traced back to the Bo'd machine. We will cover that here at a later date.

Usual disclaimer ...you know how it goes... for Legitimate and Educational use only. If you were going to use this in a "live" situation then pick a spammer or similar jerk for use as Computer B.
