Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net.

Default Am I being watched?

I think there's a keylogger on my system. I am running Windows ME, and if I alt+ctrl+del I see there's a running process called A. That's all, just A. If I go to end task on it it locks my computer up.

Any idea what it is?

Ok I've determined it's a keylogger.

Could someone have put it on my computer with a disk? Would it be capable of sending the log files to another computer, even though I am running zone alarm?

It's possible that someone placed it there with a floppy disk or USB jump drive. Some keyloggers come with optional mailing services (you provide a server), not sure if ZoneAlarm would stop it though.

Does it show up in your startup tab in msconfig?

It was Keylogger Briss.

I deleted it and removed it from the registry. I'm mainly concnerned that all my keystrokes were logged and emailed to someone.

Is it possible that could have happened? I thought I'd be aware if it did.

Better change all your passwords just to be safe, and make sure there aren't any more keyloggers.
