Ever hear of StealthEye?

UDP Piggyback on the TCP subchanel? Each pack has a header and footer 8-bit encrypted bytecode to signal that it is beginning and ending and the contents of the packet.

In that encrypted header is a checksum (also encrypted) to verify that the packet is complete and the contents of the next in line packet.

That's where StealthEye resides. It's a 16k server that sits "SOMEWHERE" on your computer and 'phones home' to wherever I tell it to. You can change your IP address, close all your ports and put whatever firewall up you want, but you can't stop transmissions going OUT.

StealthEye was a prototype program I developed for the 'buddies' in 1994. I don't know what it's called now and I don't WANT to know. But I do know that they have developed it to the point of hiding it in a video clip and SWF files, among other tranport channels, which are downloaded (while viewing) to the C:\tmp directory. From there (as I designed it) it 'spawns' to another directory (I hid mine in the bios).

And the last I heard, there was a new project to develop a spinoff that travels on the 1B4, phasing control only subchannel according to the CCITT Rec. H.32.

Just some neat little toys the 'boys' are working on

How about "SpySweeper" and "The Cleaner"?

IAAL

that sort of software is no match for things I'm suggesting, I'm sure krispenstpeter will agree.

Spyware is a good start, but that may be the very least of you're problems. As krispenstpeter also suggested, check what ports are open, another few ports to look for are 6667-6669

More anti virus software suggestions are AHN Lab & V3 . Both very tough, sometimes catching things before competitors.

As for the firewall suggestions, as said above, ZAP isnt the greatest. It's the best for mainstream market though, should be fine. Sygate Pro is an alternative. Only way to be 100% firewalled imo is router/hub/ipcop & then software.

Also it wont hurt after fixing this issue to get yourself a bandwidth monitor. I suggest bandwidth monitor pro.

Goodluck

This is the only statement I take issue with.

The ONLY 100% way to guarantee not being hacked from outside sources is to stay offline.

Firewalls, routers/hub/ipcop all include software that can be hacked. Whether it's the system or CMOS chip.

If you want to guarantee that you'll never get hacked, never get online.

I wonder how may attorney's try to hack this website.
