[ personal knowledge issue] Having trouble compiling this one

[stamguy]

*Full disclosure - I am permitted to exploit the target I am facing*

Here is the exploit I am trying to compile.

http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/23/

I took that code and saved it in a file and named it thc.c

then ran gcc -o thc thc.c

I got some errors...
Then I tried to compile it with the command the author wrote in the beginning of the exploit, but BT5 doesn't know what "cl" is, and suggested I try to download cl-launch.

The Author said this should be compiled with MSVC++ compiler, but there is nothing like that in BT...
Can you guys offer any help or guidance on this issue?

Thanks so much, and this is my 1st post btw

MSVC++ it comes with Microsoft Visual Studio. download and install MS Visual Studio in Windows and compile it.

This file cannot be compiled on linux as its written using Winsocks,
for msvc use the following command line

cl 23.c ws2_32.lib
