Jedi Scanner v.1.0

[ozUkoG1T]

Hey c++ forums,
I have made an scanner called Jedi Scanner v.1.0 .

Features:
__________________________________________________________________________________
1. The program is created using win32 application in Microsoft visual studio ultimate 2010.
2. Program is very simple to use just enter host. The Scan is very fast the IP address are very fast to be shown.
3.The name is cool
__________________________________________________________________________________

Enjoy.

1) What does the program do? I assume it scans, but what does it scan? What purpose does it have / why is it useful?

2) How can we 'enjoy' it when you don't provide any way for us to try it out?

3) With a name like "cyberwarfare", even if it were available for download, it seems very sketchy and I would not want to blindly run it without seeing the source.

[Aramil of Elixia]

i wouldnt even run it with source. whose to say that its the right source. and it scans jedis duh.... :)

Disch i do not get why on earth i would gain by destroying computers i put my user like that so i just like the name so i did any way the source code:

#include <winsock.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wsock32.lib")
#define NO_FLAGS_SET 0
#define PORT 80
#define MAXBUFLEN 20480 
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
    loop:
	WSADATA Data;
    SOCKADDR_IN recvSockAddr;
    SOCKET recvSocket;
	int status;
	hostent* remoteHost;
	char* ip;
	char* host_name;
	status = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &Data);
	system("title Jedi Scanner");
	cout<<"_______________________________________________________________________________\n";
	cout<<"                   ~ Jedi scanner beta v.1.0 ~              \n"; 
	cout<<"_______________________________________________________________________________\n";
	cout<<"Created by Cyberwarfare(EMPIRERAIDER)...\n\n\n";
cout << "Name of website (www.google.com): \n";
	host_name = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char*)*128);
	cin >> host_name;
	host_name[strlen(host_name)] = '\0'; 
	remoteHost = gethostbyname(host_name);
	cout<<remoteHost<<"\n";
	ip = inet_ntoa(*(struct in_addr *)*remoteHost->h_addr_list);
	system("cls");
	printf("IP address is: %s \n", ip);
	getch();
	system("cls");
    memset(&recvSockAddr, 0, sizeof(recvSockAddr)); 
    recvSockAddr.sin_port=htons(PORT); 
    recvSockAddr.sin_addr.s_addr= inet_addr(ip);
	recvSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
   getch();
   goto loop;
}

I have put some other difines and varibles because i need to add more things to make it is better
what it does ?
The scan tell the client about the ip address

So... It's an nslookup? This could have been done with a single system call.

whose to say that its the right source

you, because you build it...

@ResidentBiscuit: ¿your point? think of it as an alternative, besides in this way you could modify it to your needs.
Edit: or you mean system call as in `function provided by the kernel'

[helios]

host_name = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char*)*128);

host_name[strlen(host_name)] = '\0';

Awesome.

Very good practice, actually. Find the null terminator, and set it to null a second time to make absolutely certain it *stays* null, dammit!

And malloc'ing an array of char*'s is much better than just an array of chars...on most modern systems, you'll get 8 times as much space, a very welcome bonus!

thanks

[ozUkoG1T]

yes but nslookup type commands are very good but sometimes dangerous anyway i like programming so i done it the challeging way.

[ResidentBiscuit]

That's what I meant by system call. I didn't mean actually calling system() from the program.

I'm not aware of a situation where nslookup would be dangerous unless your system is compromised. But yea if this for practice then it's great. Couple small things I noticed, but looks good. I just thought this was something you were trying to get people to use widely.

host_name = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char*)*128);
host_name[strlen(host_name)] = '\0';

Awesome.

I agree. /s

So many problems in only 2 lines of code :S
