RemoteControl: Phone-PC

[Hybrid]

Hello there.

I have an interesting idea in my mind.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini[my phone] and i would like to make a "Remote Access" to ShutDown/Restart my PC via phone.

First, I had an idea, but I needed to code the program for my phone, and I have no idea abt Java coding for Android OS Phones.

So I would make a private website via webs or w/e,which will be accessed by me via my phone. On that website I will have more options: Restart / ShutDown / Sleep/ etc.

When I press a button, data is sent in some way,somewhere, and the tool which will be coded in AutoIt will read that data and do the following func: Restart / ShutDown / Sleep/ depends by what I choose on that website.

It's just an idea. if you have better ideas just say em. I didn't think very much abt this project.

Waiting for ideas.

A cheezy way to do this would be to have a script that sits on you computer that watches for a specific files, or line in a file.

Then write another script for the Andriod that updates the file to correspond with a command.

Isn't there already scripts that do what you want for Andriod?

In order to remotely restart your pc, it has to have the Wake OnLAN capable BIOS. Further, you could make the restart/shutdown available via an intranet website sitting on the pc you want to control remotely.

For added fun, you might want to explore the open source telephony project called Asterisk and set up a VoIP portal on your pc that would expose shutdown/restart via a phone call.

If your computer has MBEx capability it might be even easier to turn it on and off, you might even be able to do it via the web if your router can be port forwarded on port 16992.

Oki, tyvm for all ideas,ill check em and come ack to tell you what i choosed

The correct way is probably to start an ssh server on your computer, and then use that. Would be possible to write an app to send the commands but would most likely be easier to get an app like connectbot which is a simple ssh client terminal app.

I use the above a lot. Create a folder somewhere and add it to the path, add .au3 and .a3x to PATHEXT and you can very easily manage your own commands just as AutoIt scripts.

@Hybrid,

One method may be...

Have a terminal open on the web server, and use "tail -f" on the apache log.

Have an autoit script search for strings with ConsoleRead()

When you click buttons on the website, autoit will see it and then call a function.

You can use TeamViewer remote software in order to remotely control your computer from Samsung phone. Also, if you would also like to establish remote connection between computers, you can use various remote support services such as logmeinrescue, gosupportnow etc.

I set this up a long while ago to where I had an apache web server running on my PC, then I made an autoit program that scanned the log file for certain non-existent URL's like /morthawt-ctrl/shutdown/

As soon as my program saw that there was something that started with /morthawt-ctrl/ and ended with a / it would perform an action based on a case which matched the middle part.

edit:

I am making my video of it that I made for a friend unlisted so you can check it out working. I will be setting it back to private though in a day or two so if you want to see my program working (which I no longer bother setting back up after formatting my pc) then you might want to check it out soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6SHo4PgdYc

Edit2:

I am not going to give any support for this, that being said I will release the source code to what I had made, maybe it will give you some ideas on technique perhaps..

By the way, I had set it so that if I lock the computer using this it would set my password to a non-standard password I never use but that I do know.. so if someone managed to get my password they would not be able to log back into my computer. Then I could use my phone's internet to set my windows password back ti the real password so I can unlock it.

A haxor method to do this without special protocols (this is some random idea I just concocted)

Install your favorite mail program on your computer. Create a new gmail account (HybridRemote@gmail.com). Attach this account to your mail program. Find an add-on that will auto-extract (save in a text file) any email that comes into that account. Emails that come in are now in a text file.

Create a script to look for that file every 3 seconds or something. If it exists, read it. If it contains commands you've sent via email, copy the commands into memory, delete the file, and run the commands.
