Introduction and Inspiration
We would here briefly tour around a brief review and background of Dewasoft Keylogger detector. I was inspired to share this view for the simple reason that while we develop enterprise level mission critical and customer-data sensitive information, our applicaions have to take an acute care and caution that the data is handled with care.
In the world of Internet with every PC connected to the World Wide web , we ought to take care that the data that our application uses is sufficiently safeguarded from being falling prey to prying eyes.
The Problem
The customer data is highly valuable. Typically when we have a Windows forms application and data that is stored in INI or TEXT files and in Windows Registry, we have to ensure that these are are not tampered by other applications or diverted to wrong hands.
Danger Windows
The danger windows that are open to the customer data in the Internet connected world are multifold. The user might be installing and uninstalling a lot of applications downloaded from many websites thus exposing his system to Trojan horses, Spyware, Malware and Keyloggers.
Solutions
We need to suitably make of the following:
1) Protected Storage API of Windows to safeguard
2) Use tools like KeyLogger detector periodically or run as service to indicate to the user any suspected disk activity.
Dewasoft KeyLogger Detector
I came across Dewasoft KeyLogger detector which attempts to present a simpler solution (though not comprehensive enough) at the problem.
- Runs in System Tray
- Records Silently all suspicious disk activities. When you double click the application, it enlists all the activities to you.
- No dependency executable. Not many DLLs. If you are scary of installation, you can run the application each time from within the zip archive itself. :)
- Freeware without pricking your budget.
- When examined with NetMon, it does not initiate any outbound network connections over a period of time. Hence it can be considered safe and not a spyware by itself.
Conclusion
Hence we conclude our first venture of safeguarding the customer data that we use by taking aid of key logger detectors and alerting the customers of potential perils lurking at the data.
