Hey guys, So my question is very simple but has yet to be answered. My question is how can I programmatically send a program through the mail and so that the program began to run as the recipient opened it. Well first off, I thought as sending it as an attachment through an SMTPClient(Note: I'm doing this in C#), but the user would manually have to start it. Most people wouldn't download a file attachment through mail from a random person. Please keep in mind I'm doing this not for any illegal reasons. I've set up multiple email accounts and I'm wondering how one would take control of said users computer. Is their any way that the program would begin to download as the user opened the email. Thank you and help is much appreciated.

Not possible unless the victim is using your mail server.
You might want to consider looking at some Social Engineering.

You need an exploit for the e-mail client the receiver is using, otherwise it is not possible.

Yea I agree with XxGreenLanternxX, social engineering, I will save you some time, basically all you need to do is target some people write a nice small CONVINCING email telling them to download this or that, or go here or there, a good one would be gamers, and a Battlefield Hardline beta with a download now, and disguise it as the origin client :p
