Every since I seen plaintext.info. I've always wondered how Heintz programed it in php.
I'm guessing heavily that it relys on Shell_exec or exec.
So i made this:

<?php
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("notepad.exe", 3, true);
?>

Does anyone think this will work? I've only got my Linux box currently so I can't test it on Windows.

your code works fine on winxp home sp2 and php 5.3

plain-text.info has three parts:
interface (currently web and one irc bot - yes the bot monitors activity too so dont try anything funny we will know about it immidately Laughing

)
server and client

there is two places that requires to execute binary and those are both in client, and are done with shell_exec() and proc_open(). so in some sense
it does "reply" on theese functions.

however i'm not discussing this any further, its inside info, and there are certain people who would do much to get hand of the source, or any useful information what they could get and copy and without any hesitation claim everything to be theirs. it su*ks but there isnt anything i or anybody else can do about it.

I know about the IRC bot and I wouldnt try anything to the site anyway, Slim knows I wouldnt. Wink

Thanks for the help. I could probably work it from here with a few days searching the deep net.
