|
|
Hello
I saw in the television that there are existing spy tools to examine the
internet data transfer of remote computers. They showed that it is
possible to spy out the PIN code when the customer is making e-banking.
Where can I find such a tool? It would interest me.
Thanks
Urs

I'd be surprised if anyone gave you that info! Talk about dangerous!

Are you the kind of person who believes everything they see/hear on TV?

It is not possible to "spy" on connections, unless the spy is sitting in the
middle of the connection in the first place. In other words, the end client
connects to the spy, and then the spy connects to the destination server on
the client's behalf. Thus, the spy is acting as a "proxy" of sorts between
the two, routing traffic from one connection to the other. But if the
client connects directly to the destination server, there is no way to
"inject" a spy into the existing connection.

I saw on the television that a hacker cracked a nuclear power plant
using MS Word and VBA. Where can I find such a tool?
P.S. I beleive it was "The Core", widescreen version... Most stupid
movie i've ever seen...

They install a trojan virus on the PC. This program sends then the
information back to the producer. He puts the information into a
database. Is there existing an Delphi programmed trojan detection tool?

Well, that is not the same thing you described earlier.

|
That is possible, assuming the trojan hooked into the socket stack directly
so that it can intercept all local traffic going to or from the machine that
it is installed on.

There are plenty of trojan detection tools available. I do not know if they
are written in Delphi specifically, though. Why should that matter, though?
Or are you trying to write your own detection tool from scratch yourself?
If so, there are no VCL-based detection components that I am aware of, if
that is what you are actually asking for.

And judging by the mentioned above films all cool hackers are working in the

And be careful, as I remember, the computer while hacked may explode, and
destroy all the nearby cities and lead to the world crisis ))
Good luck.

Hello Anton
Yes I was to less precise. I have forgotten to write that they used a
trojan program to spy the out the customer. This program sends
information back to the trojan installer. Trojan programs are running on
NT. Why also not programmed with Delphi?
Also in these films the most bad guys are coming often from the east.
Are You such an expert Anton? It is only a joke.
More seriously. I have so many virus attacks that I think it is
necessary to inform me better.

I saw that you can infect a completly unknown computing technology by
typing, "upload virus" on your own computer ("Independence Day").
Another approach is to ask the computer a question it cannot answer,
after which it will start to shake and emit smoke ("War Games").
Well, these tips should be enough to get anyone started... on their next
screenplay...
