Pretty sure there is a way for client side script to return the localhost environmental variable to server (Windows/Linux/OS X) but I am not coder. I was looking for example of coding myself for a bet.

LOL - not good argument for why client names cannot be returned...

sort of silly to worry about given that they need to be inside the firewall already to exploit client names.

Worse client IPs are returned and if they are not RFC 1918 attackers do not need client hostname.

Client hostname is about as useful as RFC 1918 local IP...not useless

but easily forgone when you already have network access inside firewall & can scan

Nice..!!!

Work nice.

For all of you who got " Access is denied. "

you should verify that your iis_user has permission execute cmd.exe file.

you can copy it to root directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and trust permission to this file to be executable

you know what these codes will just excute the commands on the server and not on the clients pc...

i think i'm getting the conclusion of this and that is we can't get the computer name of the client pc.

It works for me

Function getComputerName()

Dim oShell

Dim oExec

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set oExec = oShell.Exec("hostname")

sOutput = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll

Set oExec = Nothing

Set oShell = Nothing

getComputerName = sOutput

end Function

I wanted to know it for the purpose of IT Support on our company intranet. We use the computer name for a number of things including (but not solely) VNC.

Mostly, I need to know it because my manager told me I did!
