Chris, This can also be done by what I would call a virus. You can inadvertantly download and run stuff which allows others to completely control your machine remotely. Its from Cult of the Dead Cow: cal.shaw.wave.ca

Chris also tell everyone how easily emails can be traced since the originators IP information is in the headers. I've also recently learned that some IPS's have minor security flaws where you can even see who's online and from what port they are loging in from. It's simply amazing how somethings can be traced right back to server from which it was sent,, even when they are sent via net based mails like Yahoo and Hotmail. I have a buddy who works on Anti-Spam/Security stuff for a college and it was amazing the little tricks he's shown me that are 100% legal. Here is a portion of a recent email he sent me: "I can't tell you how to retrieve the full headers from your e-mail program, which apparently is Microsoft Outlook Express. I know that "View Source" works from Netscape mail. There may be instructions for your software on spam.abuse.net or one of the other anti-spam sites. There's also header decoding instructions at some of those sites, With ______ mail, I'm confident that I will be able to isolate the sender back to their ISP and port number. In one case, I managed to find a mailbomber's real identity without any help from the originating ISP, and even the FBI was in awe over how I identified the sender.
