Scanning
files for strings
The
Hacker Eliminator String Scanner will allow the user to
pull text out of program files.
This is a great option for the user that is constantly going
through temp and other files, wondering where they came
from or what they do. The string scanner will allow you
to browse for program files and view the TEXT content of
the file. Many times hackers will add notes into their program
files. Examples of this would be words like "My Trojan
Name", Get Lost Looser" or some foul language.
When you pull this kind of text from inside a program, you
can bet that the file is anything but legitimate
Other
things that you can expect to find in the program strings,
would be e-mail and web addresses, chat rooms and servers,
IP addresses and other information that the hacker has entered
so that his Trojan can talk back to him in some way. Other
times the scanner will help you identify that the file is
legitimate, by finding it to be a normal temp file from
a program that you are using. An example of this would be
going through a file and finding text that you recognize
from being from a program that you use regularly.
Getting Started
When you click on the "Scan File" button, a browse
window like the one below will allow you to browse to the
file location.
When you click on open, the text strings contained within
the file will be displayed as shown below.
You
can click also on the "Save To File" button to
save the scanned text to a file.
