i probably can get more information but i need to know what to look for.
im hoping to get on this guys computer and check him out but it would be nice to know this stuff so i dont give out this information to someone (or check if i already did)

It is none of my business what you do with the info of a remote hussler . You said IF I KNOW THE IP , can I "grab" his pc. YES !!! please buy or download the demo version of either pc anywhere , or remote admin , or anyplace control ( or any shareware remote admin software ) . Install it on your machine choosing the role of a grabber-controller-viewer ( remote client ) . THEN : since you know this guy bothering you , either while he is away from his desk or by tricking him by e-mail or a self installing exe fool him to install the software also on his PC . For his PC choose controlled-grabbed-viewed option ( remote server : because it accepts the clients call to grab this pc ) . IF YOU WISH FIRST try the process somewhere else. when you get the hang of seeing the other machine try it on the bothering guys machine . good luck

Well what your trying to do is what hackers try to do all the time. If the guy has any tech knowledge at all, he's got a a couple of layers of defense and AV. Any program you write that is trojan in nature will be picked up by the AV but even if your successful in getting the guy tricked into loading in the software and AV doesn't pick it up, have to have access to his pc which if your talking about his home PC, doing an illegal breaking and entering a private residence.

You'll configure his firewall, his router to allow the proper ports be open, and then foward traffic from the router to his specific computer.

Then you have to count on this guy not being paranoid about security and not checking his network on a regular basis for configuration changes.

Not only that, like we said, if this guy is tech savy, he's not using the computer administrators account but a standard user account for his everyday work or whatever at home. Even if your successful at the illegal break and enter a private residence, and gain access to the computer, you might not be able to install the program because the account you happened to get while peeking in his window one night to find your the user name and password won't allow you to install the software.

Haven't you got anything else better to do?

I agree with the above. Yes you can use RADMIN or PCA, but you will also need to know the port number if it is not the default. Plus, if he is running anitspyware/virus, internet security, something would would pop up with "program trying to gain accss." However, as far as I know because I do use them myself, the other PC would also have to have the programs installed for it to work. Windows Remote Desktop Connection, or on W2k Terminal Services, as long as the other PC has it active, you could gain access.
However, since you really did not described "bother" I am assuming he is able to access your PC. If this is the case and you have a cable connection, ask your providers to change your IP. DSL will change it every time you turn off your modem for 5m. If you do know his IP for sure, say he is on a static IP from a cable provider, use a program like ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security (maybe Windows Firewall does it) and block his IP from gaining access. Set your PC up to block any unauthorized access into your home PC. If it becomes too much of a hassle from him, you have log entries (denied access or grainted) of his IP which can be traced to him if you did report it to his Internet provider (because they know which IPs belong to them). You can bring the logs to the police if you trust them.
Hope something in here helps.

Hi,

not to be a pain, but I don't really think we should help in a case like this. This is wrong and invading someones privacy. For all we know this guy is just trying to find a way to commit a crime (such as Identity theft). No offence, to the poster and I hope you don't take any offence. But if this guy is really giving you a hard time you should take it to someone who has the authority to do it instead of breaking the law yourself.

Thanks and don't be mad.

Rick

Yep - the 'botherer' could quite easily take you to court and successfully prosecute you if it is discovered you have unlawfully accessed their machine.

The person that is 'bothering' you must have permission to access your computer (if that is what you mean) - it is up to you to stop this access - get a reputable firewall and anti-virus installed and use the tools to prevent this unauthorised access.

Go to the police - do not bring yourself down to the 'botherers' level.
