Redhat Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Since a few years, the number of spywares is growing up but it's impossible to finda spyware's code source to analyse it and better understand their work.After kruegerware's (and its child) diffusion, I'm introducing you the first opensource spyware. My goal is not to help people writing more and more spywares but to show some peoplethat spywares are not "magic" stuff (like I can see on differents web sites)and are so easy to code. Besides, Virus generators already exist, why spywares generatorscould not exist?For the moment, KSpyware can list all the installed programs, can spy the web sitesthe victim has visited, can obtain a list of e-mail adresses, can hijack IE'smain page, and use NetSend to spam the victim.I decided to remove the function allowing the dispatch of the gleaned informationsand the functions stopping spyware deinstallation (like in kruegerware).The source and more info on the bugtraq posting : http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/396...17/2005-04-23/0Personally, I don't agree with this, some people have nothing better to do.

Redhat Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm SpeechlessThe code itself is nothing revolutionary in my opinion, but it's the principle. Have also posted on GSF and DSLR. I bet a few at DSLR will have something to say about it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Well I'm doing the rounds of the anti-Malware boards that I post to. I'm sure they will have something to say about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzman Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 The code used is primitive at best, but this is still reprehensible. And the fact that he put it under "Hacker Code" -- this kid does not deserve the name "hacker"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
