That is very nice of you.
This application would be tied into an online service where
someone could sign up for monitoring, and download a thin client app. The
application would run in the background of the person's computer, and
upload the person's internet activity to the website. The service would
then email this activity report to designated recipients. I have most of
the knowledge to create this service, but I need to know how to do a
couple things:
I see millions of poor addicts that would love to get logs sent to some
service. This service WILL have a GREAT future!!
1. I would like the program to be "un-installable". I've heard of a
couple of hardware security tracking services that can load a very small
setup package in the CMOS and if a computer is stolen, and the hard drive
is replaced, the app reloads itself and the next time the computer is on
the internet, it sends out a beacon. Does anyone have any insight about
how to do something like this? I want the CMOS program to run on boot,
and check to see if the monitoring software is still installed. If it is
not, the boot process reloads it.
That's easy, will easily run on millions of different hardware
combinations. NOT
2. obviously, the program does not need to be very large, so I want it to
run in the background and not be visible to the computer's user. This is
easy, I know, but I want the process to be completely invisible. (even to
super-geeks)
You are lying.
There is no reason why someone would sign up for a service that installs
some application that is invisible and not removable and sents data to
some "service".
3. I would like to figure out a way to monitor traffic for multiple
protocols (HTTP, FTP, File Sharing, Chat, etc.) . I'm wondering if there
is a way to figure out "bad" requests on a packet level.
In the end you are either a insufficient troll[1] or someone who has no idea of
nothing.
Oh, or you are working for the Bush administration.
