@To All thanks for the helpful replies. I also gave some thoughts to Zero Day exploits that might still exist which have yet to be published and patched.

Appreciate the replies.

Hello everyone.

I was hoping the fine folks here might be able to answer a question about understanding how remote code exploits work. Assuming that the machine is running windows XP/Vista/7 on a x86 platform with all service packs, patches and updates with no TCP/IP services and no server applications running then how can it be possible to take advantage of such a box remotely ? Then is it possible that a zero day exploit would be needed in order to access this typical box ?

Please note that I have no interest nor intentions in hacking into anyone box but would like to understand the logic behind how remote code exploits work...

Thanks in advance
