How to send a text message to a PC whose IP address I know?


I know this is a weird question, but I would like to know if there is a way to send a text message to a PC whose IP address I know.

For instance, I am downloading a file through torrent from a PC on the net.

Through torrent I can know the IP address of this PC, and I want send a text message to the person who owns this PC.

Is this possible?


Solution

  • The answer is No. You would have to send that through an open port on the recipients PC which a firewall would surely block (Windows Firewall, router, etc..). Even if it didn't get blocked - you'd need something to turn your message from zeros and ones to text - and display it on the users monitor. You'll need to write a software client to do that, and get that person to install it.

    There are probably some black-hat techniques to do this, but again, you're talking advanced software and network penetration.
