xp-AntiSpy



The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication ‘features’ in WindowsXP.
For example, there’s a service running in the background which is called ‘Automatic Updates’. I don’t know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute? This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known ‘Suspicious’ Functions in WindowsXP. It’s customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended. This utility is DONATIONWARE! This means, you don’t have to pay anything for this program and you can give it to anyone who’s interested in it, as long as you don’t sell it. If you find this tool useful and wanna give something back, think about donating a small amount of money.
Thanks.

The author will not help or support any illegal activity done with this program. Be warned that there is the possibility that you will cause damages and/or loss of data using this software and that in no events shall the author be liable for such damages or loss of data. Please carefully read the License Agreement included in the program before using it.

The latest version is faster and contains a lot of new features like APR (Arp Poison Routing) which enables sniffing on switched LANs and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. The sniffer in this version can also analyze encrypted protocols such as SSH-1 and HTTPS, and contains filters to capture credentials from a wide range of authentication mechanisms. The new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary and brute-force crackers for all common hashing algorithms and for several specific authentications, password/hash calculators, cryptanalysis attacks, password decoders and some not so common utilities related to network and system security.

DROIDSHEEP



DroidSheep.


Welcome at droidsheep.de

Maybe you heard about “DroidSheep” or “DroidSheep Guard” and your are looking for information about these apps.

DroidSheep [Root] is an Android app for Security analysis in wireless networks and capturing facebook, twitter, linkedin and other accounts.

DroidSheep Guard is another Android app for monitoring Androids ARP-table. It tries to detect ARP-Spoofing on the network, such as an attack by DroidSheep, FaceNiff and other software.

Please notice:
DroidSheep was developed as a tool for testing the security of your accounts and is based on my Bachelor thesis with title “Session Hijacking on Android Devices”. This software is neither made for using it in public networks, nor for hijacking any other persons account.
It should only demonstrate the poor security properties network connections without encryption have.

So do not get DroidSheep to harm anybody or use it in order to gain unauthorized access to any account you do not own! Use this software only for analyzing your own security!

List of anti-malware product removal tools

Anti-malware / Anti-Virus products often are not removed completely or properly when using “Programs and Features” (or “Add/Remove Programs”). It is possible that various services and/or drivers will still be active or installed, and will cause conflicts when another anti-malware product is installed. Therefore, you may have to use the manufacturer’s cleanup or removal tool to insure proper removal before you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), or any other anti-malware product.

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool

The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%debug folder.

This tool will help to remove specific, prevalent malicious software from infected systems. Because computers can appear to function normally when infected, Microsoft advises you to run this tool even if your computer seems to be fine. In addition to using this tool, you should use an up-to-date antivirus product to help protect your computer from other malicious software.

This tool is not a replacement for an anti-virus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an anti-virus product.
