What exe in c:\windows\ is connected to wan? [Resolved]

Hi all:)
Is there any way that i could find out what are the .exe files,inside windows dir, that are connected to the wan?
If was possible i would like to check were was the exe connected to, but that's not the most important.

:afrog: :wave: :afrog: :wave:

You question sounds a bit strange to me: you may check if computer is connected but files ???

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Const NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN = &H1
Private Const NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN = &H2
 
Private Declare Function IsNetworkAlive Lib "SENSAPI.DLL" (ByRef lpdwFlags As Long) As Long
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Ret As Long
 
    If IsNetworkAlive(Ret) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "The local system is not connected to a network!"
    Else
        MsgBox "The local system is connected to a " & _
                IIf(Ret = NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN, "WAN", "LAN") & " network!"
    End If
 
End Sub

yes, it's that what i wanted, what files are connected to inet...
i'm trying to make some kind of watcher for me to keep me informed on what files are trying to connect to external addresses. I really need this...and if possible to get the information on were is the file trying to connect to.

that's what the Windows Firewall does, isn't it? You have to allow access to individual programs so that they can access the internet.

How about what netstat gives you? You can use the -ano switch under
XP and -an for the rest. This will give you IP addresses local and remote for
your ports showing open connections.

That's almost what Windows Firewall from sp2 does dglienna, but i would like to make that in a program, not use what M$ already did, that way i wouldn't learn nothing right? :)

I know that some sniffers can do that, but i dunno how to do it, that's why i asked some help to make that :afrog:

Anyone more?

just pointing out that it is a very difficult project to undertake, and there are already programs out there that do it for you. good luck in your attempt.
did you take a look at RobDog's post?

What post? I'v been looking on psc and i'v found something that may help me a bit: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...2F%5F576027112

I just need a bit of code from it and to check were the file is/were connected to, the file patch will be easy to find out.

Thanks for the help all :)
