Using the client:

This tutorial will bring you through the basics of Assasin 2.0 step by step. Even if you are an experienced system administrator it is recommended that you read this, as Assasin works differently compared with other remote administration tools.

This is what you need for achieving a successful connection with server:

  • Correct IP settings file uploaded using the FTP updater
  • Correct Password client side matching server
  • A correctly configured server with correct destination of settings file.
  • A working web host for hosting the settings file.

If you are in doubt of any of these settings, please refer to the "setting up the client" and "setting up the server" sections.

After make sure it is all correctly set up ready for a connection, follow these steps as an example on usage:

  • Start the Assasin 2.0 client, you do this by locating its executable (client.exe) and double clicking on it.
  • Make sure you have the correct port enabled in the client, the image below shows the client set up with port 80:

    Note: The client MUST listen to whatever ports you have configured the server to use. (80 by default).
  • Now with everything set up correctly, wait for a connection from the server. When you get a connection, information should add to the listview like this:

  • This means this server is now connected, and you can now do what you wish.
    Make sure you have selected the connected server in the listview.
    Let's start off by getting some information about their system. To do this, you have to connect the system information feature in the connect feature toolbar:
    The system information feature is the second from left, you may hold your mouse over the buttons to get a brief description of what they do.
  • When you click the system information button, it will connect this feature to the server connection you selected in the lisview. A form like this should pop up:

  • When this form pops up, it means the feature and its socket have connected successfully - and you may now use it. To grab the system information click the button centered at the bottom. The information will be displayed in the text field.
  • You may use multiple features simultaneously by connecting a large number of them - but keep in mind that this is only recommended on faster connections, although it can still be achieved on 56K.
  • Let's try this by connecting the screenshot feature as well, do this by hitting the monitor icon on the connect feature toolbar. The screen capture form should appear:

  • To capture a screen, hit the start capture button. You may stop the capturing at any point by hitting the stop button.
    Note: When you hit the stop button it will finish off the current transfer before stopping.
  • You may use ALL the other features like above, just spend some time getting to know the GUI and how it works in more detail.

The Connected features organizer:
This is a treeview of the features and which are currently connected to which server. If you have a lot of features connected to a lot of servers this is a good way of navigating through the different windows that may be open.
Without any connections, it looks like this:

Controlling multiple servers at once:
This is a powerful feature that Assasin 2.0 has, and you should take advantage of it as often as you can.
If you are administrating a range of computers, for example 15 workstations, you can connect features and control them all through one client! For example, there is 1 server running on each of the 15 computers, all these 15 servers will connect and download the same logfile and therefore connect to the same IP.
When they connect to the client, they will all list in the listview, and you can select which one you want to interact with and then select what feature to connect to your selected server. You could connect the screen capture feature to each of the servers, and capture screens from all servers simultaneously if you wish. This is just an example - there are many possibilities and combinations.

Summary:
You should now have a basic understanding on how Assasin 2.0 works. From this foundation and the self explainary interface you should be able to build up a solid understanding and get very efficient within its interface.
