Two unrelated questions i just cant be assed to post 2 seperate posts. first off is it possible to spoof an email address (send someone an email say moomo@moo.com to look in everyway as if it came FROM moomoo@moo.com) this is cos i'm not sure if a mate of mine is in someway fucking with my head or has actually broken into my email address.

second question is, what weakness's in norton firewall are exploitable, i heard it does a lot of automatic rule creation so can i take advantage of this? totally innocent question honest

It's not a case of breaking into your email, all you have to do is set the from field to an arbitary value. Piss easy. Check the headers to see where the mail really came from...

Software based firewalls are a bit ropey. I'd get a 486 and bung something like SmoothWall on it. It's a doddle

like previously stated, its probably just forging your name in the from field.. BUT, if the headers are forged, your friend is mighty good with computers. your basic aol hax0r can't do that. Its not a simple task, although its not difficult for any accomplished computer user/hacker/admin, whatever

incubus let me put this another way so you might understand better... i don't use norton if you know what i mean.

the part "can i take advantage of this" should have really given the clue
