scary requests
-
is it me, or is the number of requests for strange, system-level code going up? seems like every 7th post is for some kind of strange system hook or keyboard capture or sneaky process trick. i wonder, what the hell are people doing with this stuff ? -c

When I use to need system stuff answered, I use to at least explain why especially for the dicy stuff. Eg How do I detect and Kill another program? or How do I replace a system dll without rebooting? What is a really good way to Hide a file on a HD? How do I recover all the passwords ? :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Not sure why the requests would go *up*. Although it is true that system stuff, especially the workings of drivers, have realtively impoverished documentation - especially when it comes to errors, error codes, and what they *really* mean. Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

Hey Chris, I was wondering if you are intrested in an article about NOP sleds... After a poor performance in London in 1899, Steinitz went insane and died a year later on August 12, 1900 at Wards Island, N.Y.

Yep, I expect the feds out here any minute now. :-D Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
ok.ok. ;p i wasn't implying terrorist activity... i was just wondering what kinds of things the masses are writing that require them to be able to run processes as someone else, capture keystrokes, launch processes on other boxes, capture command lines from other apps, detect app launches, etc.. i want to know who apps to not install. -c

No proof of course, but another possibility is that CP is simply becoming more visible (google searches, etc.) and the same people who are *always* looking for this information are now looking to tap our knowlege.

The real problem is that you don't have to be religious to be a religious fanatic, you just have to be a fanatic.

Actually, writing processes that run as somebody else could be quite useful. My team writes an installer, which requires admin rights to run. It could be useful for a "real" admin to supply a script containing an encrypted user name and password to an accout that has admin rigths, then regular users can run a specialized isntall without having to know the admin password. Of course, I'm not the one that posted that question, so I don't know for sure what *they* are doing with it. :-D But I did see how doing something like that could be useful.
