Topic: Detekt: The surveilance spyware detector | |
---|---|
The revelations of NSA surveillance last year by Edward Snowden has brought new attention to the problem of government surveillance, and nations across the planet are using malware utilities to spy on civilians.The Detekt program was developed by Claudio Guarnieri, who has previously developed other programs related to the analysis of malware. Detekt is designed only for Windows-based computers, which of course are the most commonly used and subsequently most commonly targeted. Detekt is available at resistsurveillance.org, and the source is available at github. The program’s authors warn it may not detect the newest revisions of government surveillance malware, but that it may help weed out some of the most common. http://github.com/botherder/detekt/releases/tag/v1.4 |

I tried this yesterday and it won't work on Windows 8.1 They say you ought to use the earlier version of it! Increased accuracy but removed Windows 8.1 64bit support. Use version 1.3 if you're running on 8.1
http://github.com/botherder/detekt/releases/tag/v1.3 but it will be less accurate. You can download the main application by clicking on the detekt.exe button. Beware: the file is about 26MB in size. |

There is a tarball tar.gz source code there. |

And how do we know this Detekt program isn't spyware?

And how do we know this Detekt program isn't spyware? It is spyware, there is no denying it. The only difference is the target. Beware may not be friendly to liberals. |
