Avoiding Netsend broadcast

By ddsi

Here’s a small utility to send net send messages to recipients by IP block avoiding broadcast/multicast.
Usage: netsend.pl --iptype={subnet|address} [--verbose] <address|subnet>
Please fill subnet in form of CIDR : X.X.X.X/XX

At the end of the run it gives a summary of Ips delivered/failed. I have created it to overcome one problem in an environment where messages to users were sent via net send ( manually ! ).

Since I was at it, CGI interface is included as well.

As I think of it, this may be used as footprinting workstations being able to receive the messages. I should try that next time :)

P.S. I cannot upload tarball :( So I have scanned 3 files:

Netsend.pl netsend.pl

Netsend.cgi netsend.cgi and

Netsend.lgr netsend.lgr in PDF format.
