Winsock

[Tommy101]

Hi does anyone know where i can find a good page to teach me how to use Winsock?

[nareth]

yeah vbforums.com is a good site?

what you wanna know?

[Tommy101]

I need to know the commands, (not if, then........) but how to program it to get the right response. e.g i am trying to create a program to watch my childs movements on his computer......

If you're looking for some quick tutorials and code examples, I think this site is the place to start.

If you really are interested in monitoring your son's movements on the web, you may want to consider getting a professional keylogger.

thanks for the site. Looks promosing! I would get one but i need a challange once and a while, and not all of the programs are not what you really want!

For a first winsock program, I think making an internet watchdog for your kids is a bit of a jump, why not start with soemthing a bit simpler. Maybe, a chat program? Just a suggestion. Anyways, what you're talking about doing would be best done with API than Winsock.

Well he is going to need API to keep track of what his kids are doing anyway... so it all depends on whether he wants to learn Winsock API, or the control... I do have to say the control is rather simple to use =)

What's with winsock for this? You want to log keystrokes, what do you need the winsock for? Will you be sending keys to some other computer? If so, where is the other computer. If it is on a home network, I would suggest that you look into UDP within winsock. It is dead simple to use, you may not even need a tutorial. There are no connections, or anything like that. All you need is the addresses on both ends. It is also really fast, which is what you need. You could have something that just sent out every keystroke etc.

A search in google of 'winsock control' returns the following:

vbip-

MS Winsock Control

How To Use the MS Winsock Control

google-

Google Search - 'winsock control'

Just as the others are saying, you can make a keylogger and also use winsock. You can make it so every 10 minutes it sends you logs of the keystrokes they have pressed.

(Also take a look at your keylogger post)

Hope this helps!

This is true, winsock doesn't have to be used, you could simply log all of the kids keystrokes to a file he would never look for, something in the system32 directory should work.

That would be my first choice, but if you have a network, you could actually follow along in real time, which would be a bit cool. You could just happen by at just the right times, like when the porn is actually on the screen.
