The first open source spyware
Hi,
Since a few years, the number of spywares is growing up but it's impossible to
find a 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
open source spyware.
My goal is not to help people writing more and more spywares but to show some
people that 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 generators could not exist?
For the moment, KSpyware can list all the installed programs, can spy the web
sites the victim has visited, can obtain a list of e-mail adresses, can hijack
IE's main page, and use NetSend to spam the victim.
I decided to remove the function allowing the dispatch of the gleaned
informations and the functions stopping spyware deinstallation (like in
kruegerware).
Well, here is KSpyware's code cource (in Perl) :

KSpyware is under GPL (loollll) so:
"You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program." BUT
DON'T TRY IT ON THE WEB.
