How to Share Remote Screens and Control PC Without Any Software in Windows

Remote sharing is at its peak nowadays. People use remote sharing to provide live support or to share screens. Most of us use a third party software for sharing or controlling remote systems, like Teamviewer or Radmin. Today I am going to teach you how to connect any two (or more) windows PCs through remote, without using a third party too.

Windows Remote assistance without any external software

As we all knows Windows OS is full of hidden programs that are only limited to developers or geeks. Today we are going to learn about MSRA (windows remote assistance) executable. MSRA is windows inbuilt remote assistance program which you can use to control remote PCs, share remote screens, provide remote support, and much more. Lets learn how to use MSRA for remote sharing.

Steps to Share or Control Remote PC using MSRA:

1. First, click on startup and type command “MSRA” and press enter as shown below:

Type msra in search option

2. Now you will see the screen below with the title “Windows Remote Assistance” as well as the two options displayed:
a. Invite someone you trust to help you: Choose this option if you want to share your screen with someone.
b. Help someone who invited yo : Choose this option if you want to control someone others PC remotely.

Click on Option A: “Invite someone you trust to help you” to share your screen:

invite someone to provide remote assistance

Select shown option to continue

Once you click the above option then you will see below panel with multiple options:

Options displayed for Windows remote assistance

Now you can see three different options :
a. Send this invitation as file: On clicking this option you can save the invitation file and send it to anyone from which you require help. After saving the file, another window will open containing the password. You have to provide that password to the person whom you want to connect to your machine.

b. Use email to send an invitation: You can send the invitation directly via email, but it requires an email client, like Outlook, on your machine.

c. Use Easy connect: Another method to directly connect two PCs is using Easy Connect, but this requires some basic settings at your routers end. If the computer has IPv6 disabled or is behind a NAT router that blocks Teredo traffic, the Easy Connect option will be unavailable.

Now once you have send the remote assistance invitation file to the other user, he can connect to your PC by double clicking the invitation file and then entering the password.

Note: You need to enable remote assistance service.

3. Help someone who invited you: By clicking this option you can provide help to anyone who has done the above task. You will need two things: the invitation file and the password.

Did you know there is another option by which you can directly connect to any PC using IP addresses? Let’s learn that too.

Here are the options.

1. First, click on startup and type command “MSRA” and press enter.
2. Now you will see screen where two options are displayed, Select “Help someone who invited you.”
3. After that, click on the bottom option “Advanced connection option for help desk” as shown below :

Select advanced connection option for help desk

After clicking option you see below panel to enter IP address:

Enter IP address or computer name

After entering the IP address, press “next” to connect to the IP address.

How to Enable Virtual Machine on I3, I5 or I7 Processors – Virtualization Concept

In recent months, many of my users have complained that they are not able to use Virtual OS or Virtual machine on their computers or laptops. Because of this issue, users are not able to install Backtrack Linux as Virtual OS on their machines. Today I will explain you how to enable Virtualization in your Machine i.e. enable virtual machine.

Enable Virtualization

Users having old processors (before Intel’s I series i.e. I3, I5 or I7) were not facing such issues because Virtualization was enabled by default; but as the processors were upgraded major ROM manufacturers like Intel and Asus have made it an optional feature in their OS which is disabled by default. So whenever you try to install any virtual OS on your existing operating system you will get below error message:

“This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU”

This error message comes when Virtualization is not enabled on your Boot Menu System Configuration.

Now you all must be confused, what is this Virtualization? Virtualization is a term that refers to the various techniques, methods, or approaches of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a virtual hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resources.

Now lets learn how to enable Virtualization on I3, I5 or I7 Processors.

Steps to Enable Virtualization Technology:
1. Start your computer and immediately start pressing Esc button(or F1 or F2 accordingly as per your system) to go to boot options.
2. Now you will see some options like below:

Boot Menu Options

Press F10 to go to BIOS setup.

3. After pressing F10 you will see something like the following Main screen displaying details of your machine:

Main Boot Menu

Now use arrow keys to navigate to System Configuration menu. You will see System Configuration menu like below:

System Configuration Tab in Boot Menu

Now as we can see default value of Virtualization technology is Disabled. To enable it use arrow keys to reach Virtualization Tech and press enter then you will see something like below:

Enable Virtualization technology in I Series

Select using arrow key and press enter to enable. Now after its enable you will see something like below:

Virtualization Enabled Yes

Now save the settings by pressing F10 key and press enter.4. That’s all! Now Virtualization is enabled on your computer.

How to Spoof Mac Address using C Program

In my previous articles about how to spoof a Mac address, I showed you how to manually change or spoof your Mac address, or physical address, by making registry changes. It’s a hectic process, going to registry, finding the registry keys, and changing them. To bypass this process, I have written a C program which will retrieve the list of all network adapters, along with serial and parallel mini ports. It will prompt you to select the device whose Mac address you want to change, and then it will ask for the new Mac address with which you want to spoof your Mac address.

Change or Spoof Mac address

Mac Address or Physical Address:

The MAC address uniquely identifies the network card within the current network segment. It consists of a vendor ID that is unique among all network vendors, and a relative ID that is unique to the vendor. The address is hard-coded onto the network adapter. But since most of the drivers were developed with the Windows Driver Development kit, the MAC address is read from the Windows registry when the card is initialized. When you launch any hack attempt, your MAC address is registered at your ISP, noting that your physical address has accessed that particular website. You can be easily identified because a MAC address is always unique.

The overall concept is that our windows operating system adds an extra layer of device conventions with the help of registry. Whenever a tool or website tries to inquire your physical address, it picks it from registry. So your device’s Mac address will remain the same but the Mac address at the windows user level will be spoofed or changed.

The below technique of changing the Mac address has been converted into an automated C program.

How to change Mac address using registry

To write a C program to spoof the Mac address or change the window’s level machine address.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;void readregistry();
char* spoofmac();

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

readregistry();
spoofmac();

}

char* spoofmac()
{
char buffer[60];
unsigned long size = sizeof(buffer);
HKEY software;
LPCTSTR location;
char adapternum[10]=””;
char numbers[11]=”0123456789″;
char editlocation[]=”SystemCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}000″;
char macaddress[60];
