BigMoosie Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi, I came home and opened winamp today to find a file in the playlist that I have not opened recently, I checked the winamp.ini file and discoverd that it was last modified at 8:08pm, a time that I was out of the house. I am interested in finding out what was accessed on my computer, there are no strange cookies or temporary internet data but what else can I check and how? Regards, Moosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 event viewer and useing the search tools you can find all files accessed between 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr d Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hello If you leave you system on, and it has access to the internet, there are program that can self connect supposedly to do such things as self updates. Others wait for you to login then will run checks in the background. Of course this is for your benefit, to keep you up with the latest version. They never collect or keep any personal information they find, or use it to check for illegal software. They are swell lads that way. Mr D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoosie Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hmmm... I ran a search and found a few files that were opened in the time period. I am pretty certain that it was my sister and not some random program doing an internet update. My main concern is that she had access to my room where I store copious amounts of chocolate and alcohol that I'm sure she must have gotten into. I think I will install a more advanced logger, know of any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Why can't you just secure your computer? even as simple as a BIOS password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoosie Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Why can't you just secure your computer? even as simple as a BIOS password? Well, there is nothing very important on my computer, I just want to catch her red handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaAotS Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Ah yes I see... More so you can say, "You were in my room eating my chocolate, drinking my alchohol and playing on my computer!!!" lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well, there is nothing very important on my computer, I just want to catch her red handed. Key logger maybe? Action logger would do the job - it would tell you the time it happened and the things that were accessed, what was types etc. These are pretty effective as long as the person doesn't know they are there. -- Ryan Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 you could try getting a program that you have to enter a password to within say 5 mins of starting up other wise it pops up a window saying "caught you! Mwuhahaha!" then hermetically seals all exits and starts spraying sleeping gas into the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Could always hide a web cam, link that up to a program that records the feed and then play it back too them later -- Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 ryans got a good idea there. my webcam can be set up to record only if it detects motion as well. could be good if you don't have oodles of disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoosie Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have installed a keylogger, but I would use a webcam if I had one, that is a good idea. I fear though that she may not use the computer next time she enters the room because she knows I suspected her last time so a webcam might be the only thing that will work. I will have to see.
