#how to check keylogger on windows

[hercanonloveinterest]

“All I can really tell myself is that at least I’m not hurting anyone, as long as she never finds out. Which she never will. I’m careful. I have to be careful, to protect my lovely girl’s peace of mind from a creep like me.”

Summary: The internal monologue of a surprisingly self-aware stalker. But will that self-awareness be enough to save the object of their obsession?

Contains: cyberstalking, traditional stalking, obsessive thoughts, vague references to depression, discussion of/credible threat of kidnapping (no violence occurs). 

Dipping my toe into sharing my original fiction. I do love a good guilt-ridden yandere. 

She never looks around much when she’s walking to work. Probably because she’s too busy walking with a swagger, practically sauntering to the music playing through her earbuds. I’m too far back to hear, but I know she must have it blasting at full volume. She always does. When it’s raining and her roommate drives her to work, she has the radio up loud enough to shake the car windows. My girl–no, the girl, she’s not mine, keep it together–doesn’t do many things in silence. God, I love her for it. 

But anyway. It’s a ritual: the most beautiful girl in the world leaves her apartment to go to work every afternoon at 2:45. I was never very punctual before I knew her, but somehow time doesn’t slip by in a haze anymore the way it used to. Each day is a discrete and individual thing to me now, because each day Kiara Martell leaves her apartment at 2:45 and walks to work. 

And, yes, I follow her. At a discreet distance. I know it’s creepy. I know it’s wrong and disrespectful and would probably scare her if she ever found out. I know all of that, and I do it anyway. I can’t justify it, and I won’t try. Being honest with myself is kind of the only principle I have left. 

All I can really tell myself is that at least I’m not hurting anyone, as long as she never finds out. Which she never will. I’m careful. I have to be careful, to protect my lovely girl’s peace of mind from a creep like me. 

Today she’s walking with a slow, easy stride that I’ll admit drives me crazy. I pull out my phone, check the app: her phone is playing that old blues band again, the one she loves so much. No wonder she’s smiling like that, no wonder she’s tapping her left hand against her thigh as she walks. 

Her nails match her bright yellow tank top. She’s adorable. 

It’s a hot day today, and sweat glistens on her bare shoulder blades. It’s incredibly attractive, but also, is my girl wearing sunscreen? Should she be wearing a cover-up or something? One of those silky little vintage shawls she likes? I know she doesn’t wear sunscreen very often, the bottle has been lying in the exact same position on her dresser for weeks. 

Do you see why I have to do this? No, not have to. I can’t ever let myself think that way. But do you see why I choose to do this? Why I return to the shadowy area in the corner of her apartment building’s parking lot like a sucker or a stalker, every day, by 2:40 at the latest? 

Every detail of Kiara Martell’s life fascinates me. She is beautiful, but it isn’t just that. I know almost every detail of her life by now, and everything I learn just attracts me more. Her silly habits, her favorite shows, her messy bedroom but meticulously-organized music library, the way she hates her job but always greets her coworkers with a smile anyway… She’s just wonderful. She’s just perfect. That’s why I have to follow her like this, why I have to track her phone and read her texts with a keylogger and break into her apartment whenever I know no one’s home and spend an hour standing in front of her closet before I can talk myself out of stealing something, have to see and touch every part of her life, I have to, I have to, because how else am I supposed to prove to myself that she’s really real?

No woman has made me feel like this before. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much. It’s pathetic but it’s true: my life was empty before I knew her. My love for her (no, be honest: my obsession) gives me a reason to get up instead of lying in bed all day watching the ceiling fan revolve. Just by existing, she’s done so much for me. I just wish there was something, anything, I could do for her in return.

But I can’t think like that. I can’t let myself dwell on the money problems I could alleviate, or the home I could provide for her, or how I know she hates doing the dishes and I wouldn’t mind doing them every night. Because when I let myself think like that, my most dangerous fantasies start to sound way too plausible. When I let myself think about giving her anything, doing anything for her, I start thinking about how much more I could do for her if she just… came to live with me. 

It wouldn’t have to be a kidnapping. In my fantasies (most of my fantasies, at least), she comes willingly. But that’s what makes daydreaming so dangerous: it always seems to gloss over the complicated details, and my mind skips straight to the part where the most wonderful woman in the world just happens to be fine with moving in with her deranged stalker. Totally comfortable with the whole situation, in fact. Jesus fucking Christ. I should get a therapist or something. 

We’re almost there now, only two blocks away from the hotel where she works. In about five minutes, she’ll be covering up her cute, colorful clothes with the scratchy gray receptionist uniform that she always complains about in texts to her friends. I’ll sit in the cafe across the street, working or at least pretending to. And if I have to answer an email from a particularly annoying client, I’ll reward myself afterwards by letting myself watch Kiara for thirty seconds or so, while she sits at the front desk pretending not to be playing Scrabble on her phone. By now I’m very good at pretending that I’m just staring absently into space. I know sitting in plain sight by the window at the cafe is a risk, but I just can’t help myself. 

And what happens next? Well, at about 9:00, or maybe 9:05, she’ll clock out and I’ll see her leaving the building. I will make myself wait, make myself move slowly as I pack up my laptop and bus my empty coffee cup, so that she won’t see me following her in the shadows as she slowly walks home. She’ll be swinging her empty water bottle in one hand, and she’ll have earbuds in again, which is the only thing she does that genuinely pisses me off. It’s not safe! A woman walking home alone at night needs to pay attention to her surroundings. Doesn’t she know what kind of weirdos are out there, in a big city like this?

Well, I guess it’s probably better for me if she doesn’t know. But still. 

At least she isn’t ever really alone. 

You know, there’s this one part of my girl’s walk home that always drives me a little crazy. There’s a little park, with a playground and big, leafy trees, that she always cuts through to shave a few minutes off her commute. It’s fine during the day, because during the day it’s light out. There’s plenty of people there during the day, mostly cute little kids playing on the playground while their parents watch. 

But at night… at night the park is always deserted. And dark, very dark, because the city never bothered to put up safety lighting here, and those tall trees blot out even the moon. And there’s Kiara, cutting through this park every night. Alone. With her earbuds in. And it drives me crazy, because even if I would never do it, even though I could never hurt or scare her like that, not after everything she’s done for me without even knowing it, even though I don’t really mean it, even still, even still, even still, part of me always thinks: if I was going to kidnap–no, take her home with me, it would be so easy to do it right now. 

But I wouldn’t do it. Really, I wouldn’t. 

Even if I do think about it all the time now. Even if it’s harder and harder to think about anything else. 

I really should get a therapist.

CW: Past trauma, dissociative state, references to Noah's gaslighting and emotional abuse

-

Somewhere in Illinois, Present Day

It was a perfectly normal place to park his truck between jobs, while driving to the next meetup point. Nothing suspicious at all about choosing to stop here, in this tiny little town in the middle of nowhere. No reason for Noah to call, check into his phone, look at the keylogger on his laptop, or start digging through the scraps of a life Finn Schneider had - however painstakingly - built.

No reason for Noah to even think twice.

Even though he knew, he knew Noah would think about him. Would look at the location on the GPS tracker in the truck and see if the phone and the laptop matched up. See if there was any activity. Look at what Finn searched for, what keywords he might use.

Noah always knew everything.

Not this, though.

At least... not yet.

The man who had once been called Finn Schneider stared through the windshield of his truck into the diner that took up half of the enormous truck stop, settled snugly against an interstate highway with another, smaller country highway intersecting. Through the windows, a few booths held lonely truck drivers with eyes glued to a football game playing on a television up on the wall. A gaggle of teenagers giggled over shared plates of french fries and cups of weak coffee doused in enough creamer to turn it nearly white. A man with two small children watched with a tired smile as the kids gestured wildly.

On the interstate, traffic roared by - people heading home to their families after a long work day, as the sun began to set.

Here Finn sat.

His heart was in his throat, his knuckles white where he was still gripping the wheel. Beside him on the front seat, Little Mother yawned, her teeth clicking when her mouth shut, and slowly blinked at him. In the back of the cab, the kittens were playing with the catnip mice and other toys he’d bought for them. One made mincemeat of a stuffed penguin, casually ripping the stuffing out of with a predator’s zeal for a satisfied hunt.

He could do two things, right now.

He could walk inside, order dinner at the diner, have a shower in the facilities along the back, call Noah, sit and eat, and then head back into the truck to watch a movie and sleep. It would be the safe thing to do - what Noah expected him to do. What he always did, at the end of a day driving to his next task. 

Call Noah, get the details on the next job, and keep living how he had been for so long, for almost two decades.

But... there was one other thing he could do, as well.

Riskier.

Not safe.

Noah could find out what he was up to, know that Finn had… doubts. Worries. That he wasn't sure what was real. He didn’t know what would happen, if Noah knew that there were things he said that Finn didn’t really believe any longer. Probably he’d just… talk to him, like he did sometimes. An arm slung over his shoulder, a hand rubbing his back, close enough to his face to make Finn tense with the memory of another man's diesel smell.

Noah would explain with casual certainty that the truth was a version of reality that didn’t quite match the one seen through Finn’s eyes.

But then, he couldn’t trust his eyes, his mind. Not anymore. Not since Robert. His mind invented shadows, his eyes saw shimmers of the bones in the basement, the bars of his cage. His reality was laced around every edge with too much darkness.

But...

That didn't mean Noah's reality was true.

How long he sat there, arguing with himself, he wasn't sure. People walked into the diner or out of it, laughing and joking, bundled up against the harsh winter chill. The teenagers left. Some truck drivers left, while others headed inside for their turn at hot showers and hot food, sometimes giving Finn a sidelong wave, thinking he was one of them. 

He was.

Sort of.

Was he?

He felt like Adam and Eve, weighing the fruit of the tree of knowledge, knowing he shouldn’t take it. Holding it heavy in one hand, while the serpent whispered Ihr werdet mitnichten des Todes sterben... What if Noah was angry with him, for looking? What if he found nothing, only his own madness?

What if Noah was right, that he had lost his mind in Robert's house, that he could never reclaim it?

But... Noah lied.

Finn was more sure of it with each passing year. He couldn't trust his own mind, his own eyes, his own heartbeat, but... he could trust documentation, he could trust words written down, records... maybe Noah would be angry, but the idea of not knowing was an agony worse than whatever the knowledge he discovered might be.

Wasn’t it?

Finn must have left his own mind again, too lost in trying to decide if he wanted to know the truth or not, if he wanted to take a bite of the apple from the serpent’s hands. Or was Noah the serpent? 

Somewhere in his panic, his mind and body must have split apart into two halves. It had happened before. His body went around doing things while his mind was locked in a cycle of thoughts he couldn't pull himself away from.

It was why Noah said he couldn’t be left alone, needed to be tracked. Sometimes he left his body, and stopped answering the phone.

He blinked.

The next time Finn was aware of himself, he wasn't in the truck. He wasn't in the diner, either.

Instead, he found himself walking past a water tower, halfway across the length of the tiny little town, crossing railroad tracks with the wind pushing against his back.

His hands were in his coat pockets - his body had put on his coat, apparently - and his face burned from the biting freeze of air around him. He’d pulled a knit cap down over his head, which he couldn’t remember doing, either. His cell phone wasn’t in his pocket, and his heart skipped and then picked up speed again.

He came to a stop so sudden his boots scraped on gravel along the side of the road, staring straight ahead.

He must have left it in the truck.

Noah would-

Maybe not know.

If he didn't call, he wouldn't know.

Right?

Someone drove past, slowed their truck down, watched him. It was a town small enough that even a single stranger walking through the tiny town square was noticed. His hometown had been small, a little like that, although not this small. His mother would have slowed her car down, known every cousin visiting family, every boyfriend or girlfriend meeting someone’s parents for the first time. 

The town square was more of an oblong oval shape, vaguely uneven on one side. To his right, two big grain silos rose two stories high, gleaming metal that blinded him when the setting sun bounced off the exterior. To his left, old brick buildings that seemed to lean on each other for support, places that had once been a grocery store, some kind of antique shop now maybe. In front of one, where the brick had seen better days and some of it lay crumbled on the sidewalk, was a strange, incongruously gorgeous red sports car.

That building had a light on upstairs. He could see a man on an exercise bike through the window, watching a TV.

Finn headed straight across the road, passing through a small park in the center of the town square that was only big enough to hold a picnic area, two large trees - one decorated for Christmas - and a single stone bench. 

In front of him now, there was a post office, the town library, and what seemed like a combination bank, place to pay utility bills, and… town hall. He frowned, the expression faint and barely-there, wondering what he was doing here.

There was nothing in this town. Nothing to it.

What was he doing?

Then his gaze went back to the library, the entire inside warmly lit against the outside chill. He could look right in and see a woman with two small children encouraging them to look at a bookshelf, a toddler playing at a table full of legos while her mother sipped something from a paper cup, the librarian moving one pile of books from one table to another with patient certainty. 

Then, all at once, Finn understood what he was looking for:

A computer.

An old desktop,squatting on a folding table as if it were merely an afterthought, someone’s donated castoff. But the screen was on, the chair in front of it was empty, and Finn knew what he wanted to do, how he could keep Noah from knowing he'd done it.

He walked inside, steeling himself for the way all three women stared at him openly, without even trying to hide it. The weight of their gaze prickled on his skin; he was far more used to being ignored or going unnoticed.

“Welcome in,” The librarian said, in a tone somewhere between baffled and amused. “What can we help you with tonight?”

“I would like to use your computer,” Finn said, and pretended he didn’t see the sudden burst of interest in the faces of the women with children here, who glanced at each other when they heard his accent. “Mine is-... mine is broken.”

Why he bothered with the lie, answering a question she hadn’t asked, was beyond him. His heart beat so fast and so hard he was sure he must sound out of breath.

But she smiled, nodding knowingly. “Of course. You must be one of Bob Kaufmann’s cousins in for Greta’s hundredth, huh?”

Finn leaped on the excuse. He’d be gone in a few hours. No one would ever need to know. “Ah, yes, I am. How did you know?” He managed a grin, and the librarian laughed. She didn’t see it wasn’t real, was simply painted-on. He never smiled and meant it, unless it was for Little Mother or the kittens. Not anymore.

“Well, you know. There were some signs that you might not be local to the area,” She replied, dry as a bone, and he huffed a laugh - surprised to hear it, and realize it had come from him. 

“I see. You don’t mind if I use the computer?”

“Oh, not at all. It’s got a sixty-minute limit and then it’ll kick you out, but just let me know and I’ll let you back in.” She waved a hand and went back to her work, and he nodded, moving through the small space packed with bookshelves on every side until he made it to the computer chair and took a seat.

It didn’t take the full hour.

He didn’t know Noah’s real name, but he knew the phone number his wife called him from, searched for where the area code for that number was located.

He also knew Noah’s license plate number. Then he started looking, city by city in the state the license plate was from, at vehicle registration lists.

The third city he searched within the area code popped up a name.

Searching for house taxes using that name gave him an address, he owned a home in a cul-de-sac, he owned three other cars besides the truck. There was a second homeowner listed on his house taxes.

Edward Paulson. Wife - Christina Paulson. Finn looked her up by name and city, found a nurse by her name listed as working at a hospital there. She had a facebook, an instagram, and on the facebook were pictures of the same woman, two young boys, and… Noah.

Smiling, an arm around her shoulders just like he did with Finn sometimes. Another photo with a hand to her lower back.

Did he rub her back, when she was scared? Tell her things weren't the way she thought, that she couldn't trust her own eyes?

Did she know about Finn?

He asked politely for a piece of paper and a pen, a noise like static rising in his mind.

When he made it back to his truck, a harsh wind had risen and his nose and cheekbones felt cut to ribbons by the freeze. Little Mother greeted him with a cheerful chirp, and he rubbed a hand over the perfect soft round curve of her head, his other hand holding onto the names and address he had written down folded inside his pocket, while he stared at what he had done but did not remember doing before he left the truck.

Sometime between the temptation and taking action, he had set up his laptop to play a movie. There was a fight scene, tinny voices shouting. His phone was charging beside it. If Noah checked, he would see what movie was playing. He would think Finn had not left the truck.

Unless he'd called and Finn hadn't answered.

Panic thrilled through him again, but there was no missed call. Noah hadn't tried to talk to him. He could still call him later, pretend everything was normal.

That he wasn't-

That Finn wasn't giving in to his doubts.

For a while, he sat and stared again, willing the static noise in his mind to soften, so he could hear himself think again. Then he took a deep breath and grabbed his backpack.

He headed in to get a shower and some food, taking his phone with him this time so Noah would see that when the movie finished, he headed into the diner.

Normal night. 

Perfectly normal.

He would go to sleep early tonight.

He had a long, long drive to make tomorrow.

How to check if your computer is being monitored

In today's digital age, the issue of privacy and security is more pressing than ever. Whether you’re a casual user or a professional, understanding if your computer is being monitored is crucial. This guide will delve into the signs of monitoring, tools to detect it, and steps to safeguard your privacy.

Understanding Computer Monitoring

Before diving into the signs and detection methods, it’s essential to understand what computer monitoring entails. Monitoring can involve tracking your online activity, keystrokes, file access, and even webcam usage. This can be done by malicious software (malware), spyware, or legitimate monitoring software used by employers or parents.

Types of Monitoring

Malware and Spyware: These are malicious programs that can be installed without your knowledge. They can track your activities and send data back to an attacker.

Keyloggers: This type of software records keystrokes, capturing sensitive information like passwords and personal messages.

Remote Access Tools (RATs): These tools allow someone to control your computer remotely, monitoring your screen, accessing files, and even using your webcam.

Legitimate Monitoring Software: Often used in corporate environments, this software tracks employee activity for productivity or compliance reasons. While legal, it can still infringe on personal privacy.

Signs That Your Computer May Be Monitored

Recognizing the signs that your computer might be monitored is the first step in protecting yourself.

1. Unusual System Behavior

Slow Performance: If your computer suddenly becomes sluggish, it might be due to monitoring software consuming resources.

Frequent Crashes or Freezes: Unexpected system crashes can indicate underlying issues, including malware.

2. Suspicious Programs

Unknown Applications: Check your installed programs for any unfamiliar applications. Many monitoring tools disguise themselves as legitimate software.

High Resource Usage: Use the Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) to look for processes consuming excessive CPU or memory.

3. Network Activity

Unexplained Network Traffic: Use network monitoring tools to check for unusual data being sent or received. High outbound traffic could indicate that data is being transmitted without your consent.

Blocked Ports: Monitoring software often uses specific ports to communicate. If you notice blocked ports that you didn’t configure, it could be a red flag.

4. Webcam and Microphone Behavior

Indicator Light Activation: If your webcam or microphone is being accessed without your knowledge, the indicator light may be on even when you're not using it.

Unexpected Recordings: Check for unusual files that could be recordings made by your microphone or webcam.

5. Browser Behavior

Unusual Browser Extensions: Check for extensions you didn’t install. Some can track your browsing activity.

Unexpected Redirects: Frequent redirects to strange sites or altered search results can indicate tracking.

6. Security Alerts

Antivirus Notifications: If your antivirus software frequently alerts you about threats, it may indicate that monitoring software is present.

Firewall Alerts: Unusual outgoing connection attempts can suggest that an unauthorized program is trying to access the internet.

Tools to Detect Monitoring Software

If you suspect that your computer is being monitored, several tools can help you investigate further.

1. Antivirus and Anti-Malware Software

Using a reliable antivirus or anti-malware program can help detect and remove malicious software. Some popular options include:

Malwarebytes: Excellent for detecting and removing malware and spyware.

Norton: Offers comprehensive protection against various types of threats.

2. Network Monitoring Tools

Tools like Wireshark can help analyze network traffic and identify suspicious activity. You can monitor data packets to see if there are any unexpected connections.

3. Task Manager / Activity Monitor

Regularly check the Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) for processes that look unfamiliar or suspicious. Research any questionable applications before taking action.

4. System Scans

Use built-in tools to perform system scans:

Windows Defender: Run a full scan for malware and spyware.

Mac’s Built-in Security Features: Use the Malware Removal Tool for additional scanning.

5. Firewall Monitoring

Make sure your firewall is active and monitor logs for any unusual activity. A firewall can block unauthorized access attempts and alert you to potential threats.

Steps to Protect Your Privacy

If you determine that your computer is being monitored or you want to prevent it from happening, follow these steps to enhance your security.

1. Update Your Software Regularly

Keeping your operating system and all software up-to-date ensures that you have the latest security patches. This reduces vulnerabilities that can be exploited by monitoring tools.

2. Use Strong Passwords

Implement strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and devices. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.

3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, making unauthorized access much more difficult.

4. Install a Firewall

Ensure you have a firewall activated, whether it’s built-in (like Windows Firewall) or third-party. This helps control incoming and outgoing network traffic.

5. Be Cautious with Downloads

Avoid downloading software from untrusted sources, as this can introduce malware to your system. Always verify the legitimacy of software before installing it.

6. Regularly Review Permissions

Check application permissions on your device regularly. Revoke access for any apps that do not need to access your camera, microphone, or location.

7. Use a VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection, making it difficult for anyone to monitor your online activities.

8. Educate Yourself

Stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices. Knowledge is your best defense against monitoring.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you suspect your computer is being monitored and cannot identify or remove the software yourself, consider seeking professional help. Cybersecurity experts can perform a thorough analysis of your system and provide tailored solutions.

Conclusion

Understanding if your computer is being monitored is vital for protecting your privacy. By recognizing the signs, utilizing detection tools, and implementing security measures, you can safeguard your personal information. Remember, vigilance is key in the ever-evolving landscape of digital security. Stay informed, proactive, and secure in your online presence.

extremely long post below the cut, please read the entire thing b4 brashly doing anything. there's a lot and there is scaling difficulty with the steps you can take.

it's actually better for android users to debloat their phones than to just turn off settings — if done correctly, you're able to fully uninstall apps from your phone.

we already know that, after Facebook being put on trial in 2012 (settled in 2022 for a measely $90m out of their $590b) due to their tracking settings — even if off — are still running. even if you turn phone settings off, apps are able to "see" one another and collect data that way. including your keyboard. i repeat:

YOUR PRE-INSTALLED PHONE KEYBOARD IS A DATA COLLECTOR

the issue is that debloating your phone takes a little know-how, and you need a PC to do it. you cannot just "disable" apps from your phone, they're still functional at some capacity.

i REALLY recommend using UAD (Universal Android Debloater) if possible. which, again, requires a computer — i also recommend that you entirely stop using any and all Google services. i am talking down to: Learning How to Read A Map

no more google maps. yes, it's a total pain in the ass, but data collection is not a joke. gmail is a data collector, YouTube is a data collector any form of docs/sheets is a collector, and again:

i cannot fucking stress this enough.

YOUR PRE-INSTALLED KEYBOARD COLLECTS YOUR KEYSTROKE DATA.

IT. TRACKS. WHAT. YOU. ARE. TYPING.

this link has installation instructions for UAD — this is to debloat your phone, focusing on unnecessary Samsung and Google apps. the major 2 problems are: you will need a computer, and you will need to learn how to use GitHub thru YT tutorials.

learning how to use GitHub will be extremely important for protecting your PC as well from Windows bullshit

🗣️DO THIS FIFTH🗣️

a chart of what apps to uninstall and what they do:

(there are also some other ways to stop/uninstall apps on this post, but i don't know the details behind them and recommend you look into them yourself if you can't use UAD)

🗣️DO THIS FOURTH🗣️

for a Google Play Store replacement:

list of games available on fdroid:

🗣️DO THIS FIRST🗣️

for a non-tracking QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Kurdish QWERTY, Russian, and more keyboard:

for a non-tracking Japanese 3x4 keyboard:

🗣️DO THIS SECOND🗣️

NewPipe is the YT alternative; this app prevents Google from collecting your IP and you no longer have 1) ads 2) to login 3) afk prompts to check if "you're still there".

🗣️DO THIS THIRD🗣️

USE FIREFOX AND TOR. set your default search engine to DuckDuckGo on FF

(there's actually discussion on whether or not firefox is completely trustworthy on mobile due to their code not being entirely opensource. something to do with working with google. the f-droid alternative is Fennec)

also please read a bit about how to properly use Tor; the tldr is to not login to anything — social media, emails, news sites — while using it

an endnote:

you do NOT have to do this all at once; i started out with swapping my keyboard and YT over first. i'd recommend at least doing your keyboard.

i just recently swapped to fdroid and installed Tor. i'm currently swapping out all of my gmail accounts for protonmail, tutamail, and mailfence.

i haven't even opened UAD yet, as i'm still in the process of finding app equivalents on fdroid and untangling myself from google services.

these will ALL take time getting used to — it sucks and the keyboards are absolutely not as efficient, but that's because there are no installed keyloggers. do not let laziness borne out of ease of use from proprietary apps and software prevent you from protecting yourself. i cannot stress this enough : do not be lazy about this.

r/privacy, r/cybersecurity, and privacyguides are great places to get started in understanding how to protect yourself online. i definitely recommend you start looking into how to do so on your PC as well, if you've got one

as for iOS users?

you're shit outta luck.

anyway yeah DELETE YOUR FUCKING ADVERTISING IDS

Android:

Settings ➡️ Google ➡️ all services ➡️ Ads ➡️ Delete advertising ID

(may differ slightly depending on android version and manufacturer firmware. you can't just search settings for "advertising ID" of course 🔪)

iOS:

Settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ tracking ➡️ toggle "allow apps to request to track" to OFF

and ALSO settings ➡️ privacy ➡️ Apple advertising ➡️ toggle "personalized ads" to OFF

New Discord malware attack

pretty much what the title says. There’s currently a new socially engineered malware attack on Discord since possible around July, and currently it is vicious. I’ll make a brief explanation of what it is, what to do if you click on the link and a measure me and some friends have done.

What it is

A direct message from a friend (currently) talking about checking out the game they're working on. The typing style may look very similar to what they actually talk like. What clicking on the link does is steal your account, install a downloader (most likely a crypto miner), a keylogger, harvest logins from all your browsers and possibly something else since this is very new. While its a simple “don’t click any suspicious links” advice since the start of the internet, I’m making this for those that are unaware. 

here’s an analysis of what it does:

[ID: Doing some analysis now, it's absurd, the thing BROKE MY DEBUGGER, it got a lot of weird misplaced bytes in the exe header and a tentative of buffer overflow that didn't work thankfully because I was in linux, so the kernel just crashed -.- This thing is a Node Executable as front, have a token stealer, have code to break into passwords kepts in lots of places of your OS (covers every browser), it also monitors your network, hooks NtOpenKey, WSASend, WSARrecv, AND EVEN CREATEPROCESS. Oh yeah, it also hooks to your key inputs, so call it a keylogger too. It's designed to break debuggers and try to f*ck with you... from inside the debugger, without executing it. It's a complete Security Stealing Ware. Didn't find anything that could point tentatives to mess with your bios/firmware (in these cases, even reinstalling the OS may not be secure enough lol) I still can't believe a virus just tried to do with me, what I try to do with the Switch and PS4 on my spare time lol. end ID]

What to do if you click on the link

this screenshot (and entire post) is from twitter user @/PhleBuster and it goes in detail on what to do if you actually click the link.

[ID: @everyone Related to the ongoing socially engineered malware attacks, if you end up unfortunately executing code given to you by an attacker, here's what you need to know: #0 Disconnect internet from your PC RIGHT AWAY - if you do this fast enough you may be able to stop your accounts from getting stolen. #1 Change your Discord password RIGHT AWAY, on your MOBILE. This is their first priority and unless you act immediately, you will lose access and it will be very slow to recover via support. #2 Change your email and other critical passwords, on your MOBILE. This malware is extremely advanced, won't be caught by any existing virus scanners, and will install a downloader, likely a crypto miner, a keylogger, will harvest logins from all your browsers, and who knows what else. [in bold:] If you are exposed and didn't immediately disconnect internet, expect that all of your existing logins have been compromised - and any changes you make on PC will be immediately leaked as well. [normal font:] #3 Do a clean reinstall of Windows. A system restore is not safe enough. #4 While that happens, report any stolen accounts, and keep changing the rest of your passwords. #5 After reinstall, change all your passwords one more time, and you should be safe. #X - if you are notified of any suspicious login attempts to any account, immediately attempt to recover it with password recovery before your logins, emails, and other support details are changed. #Y - If you lose access to any accounts, do your best to notify your friends who may be vulnerable to further attacks through that attack. ID end]

Prevention between friends

Since this is still relatively a new attack, please take this part with a big grain of salt. Me and my friends made a system for our own group of sending a personalized message between a spoiler filter before sending links. I’m not sure how the hacked message is supposed to look since from my own research, it just looks like your regular spam message. Try to figure out a 2FA system with your friends on what links are trustworthy. While it is currently a “hey check out my game” type of message, it worries me that it might spread to other types of links. 

I’ll try to update this if any new information arises, but please stay wary of any links being sent on discord. Stay safe

Safe Torrent Downloader

Our BitTorrent Web and Classic products for Windows are available in one location to help you quickly find the version that suits you. Download today. Apr 17, 2020. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer communications protocol for efficiently sending any type of file, large or small, over the Internet. Safe torrenting software, such as such as BitTorrent Classic, are needed to send or receive files using the protocol.

uTorrent is the most popular torrent client in the world by a large margin, but is uTorrent safe? This guide will teach you how to use uTorrent as safely as possible, and how to get the most from your uTorrent experience.

QUESTIONS ABOUT UTORRENT’S SAFETY

uTorrent made news across the internet in 2015 when it was reported that they were bundling bitcoin mining software that would auto-install along with uTorrent and secretly use host machines to mine for bitcoins without the users’ knowledge.

It turns out that this issue wasn’t widespread, and uTorrent removed the malware from future releases, but it did raise questions about how far the company is willing to go in order to generate revenue. Currently, the bulk of their revenue comes from low-cost advertising and the small percentage of users who choose to upgrade to utorrent pro for $19.95/year.

In 2014, google’s chrome browser also flagged uTorrent software as malware though it came up clean on virus scanners. This issue was temporary as well and likely had nothing to do with the actual risk of installing the software.

Adware and ransomeware bundled with other torrent clients, has demonstrated the risk of installing torrent software, even from reputable sources. In March 2016, an update of Transmission torrent client (distributed from the company’s own servers) was infected with ransomeware which would hold users’ systems hostage by encrypting the harddisk and demanding a ransom payment in bitcoins.

SO IS IT SAFE TO USE UTORRENT?

The short answer is yes, but it’s complicated.

Currently, uTorrent’s software is considered safe and free of dangerous malware. The primary risk of using uTorrent comes not from the software itself, but the risk of downloading dangerous or infected torrents from unknown sources. No torrent client can protect you if you choose to download unsafe files which may contain rootkits, malware, or trojans. Read our safe torrent guide for our top prevention/safety tips.

It’s also a good idea to always your identity when downloading torrents, and to encrypt your traffic so you can’t be blocked or throttled by your internet provider. We wrote our‘ultimate guide to anonymous utorrent’ to show you exactly how to hide your identity while torrenting.

Safest versions of uTorrent

There is great debate over the best version of uTorrent released over the years. Some versions are more stable then others (and have less privacy leaking features). Over time, uTorrent has become much more bloated (with extra features) and less lightweight then it was in the early days.

Among hardcore veterans, uTorrent version 2.2.1 is still the favorite (and considered the last version not bundled with adware). You can still find download links to this old utorrent version (though always software from unknown sources before installing. This reddit thread has several links to download this OG version.

​You can also find previous versions of uTorrent on ​oldversion.com

USING UTORRENT ANONYMOUSLY

We always recommend taking steps to hide and anonymize your torrent downloads. By using a VPN (best option) and/or a proxy service, you can make your torrent downloads virtually impossible to monitor or trace.

Here are some step-by-step guides to help you use utorrent safely:

10 Best Free Torrent Clients For Downloading Torrents (2020)

HOW TO REMOVE ADS FROM UTORRENT

Advertisements in uTorrent can be rather annoying. Fortunately, you can choose to disable them by tweaking a few advanced settings in the uTorrent preferences menu.

Ubergizmo has the complete guide on how to disable ads in uTorrent.

Safe Torrent Downloader

Best of all, this isn’t some hack method. It’s actually a built in option buried deep in the uTorrent’s menu. It works great, and you can have an ad-free uTorrent experience in just a few minutes.

FINAL THOUGHTS

uTorrent is still the torrent client of choice for over 100 million users worldwide. The software itself remains relatively safe, though if you want a true ad-free and adware-less torrent experience, you should consider trying one of the open-source torrent clients like Deluge or Qbittorrent, both of which are extremely functional and popular.

The biggest risk with uTorrent (and with any torrent software) is what you download, and where you download it from. The safest practice is to never download installable files or software such as .EXE or .BAT files, which could contain dangerous software, keyloggers, spyware, etc. You should also have a high-quality antivirus, and use it frequently. Read our Safe Torrent Guide for a full list of good safety practices.

Be well, torrent safely and always use strong protection.

Prompt/Tag: “Did I do something illegal? You bet I did! Was it fun though? Hell yeah!” x / @anti-solidcoffee​

Summary: Willow pulls off a dangerous stunt and pays the consequences

Song: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road – Elton John, Jamie Bell, Taron Egarton

—————————————————————————–

I arrive at the scene of the incident just as police are, rolling up in a motorcade of blue and red lights. Okay, okay, what’s going on, what’s the scene, etcetera etcetera.

Two guys are bleeding out in the middle of the street, traffic is stopped, and cars have parked haphazardly around the scene. On my right, there’s a jewelry store with smashed windows. And then I spot two men stepping out of the busted-up store, and I hear the metallic click of a safety being turned off.

Oh, this could get messy really quickly.

Most people have gotten the hint to run, but others are still standing too close, phones out, recording.

“Shit, shit, shit,” I say and duck behind a closed newsstand. I pull my hood over my head, but my face is still visible. In my backpack, I find a pair of large sunglasses and white facepaint from school spirit day last week. “Fuck,” I say, and pop open the tube, smearing streaks of paint on my face before putting the sunglasses on. “Clown nation let’s rise.” It doesn’t cover my whole face but just obscures the rest of my features. That will have to do.

I step out from behind the newsstand and through my dimmed vision from the sunglasses, spot the men making a break for a car parked on the corner. It’s on the other side of the interaction from the police, and across from a two-building construction site.

Now, I know what you think I’m going to do. Stop, those robbers, right?

But, nah. The police have that under control.

What I’m more concerned about now that I’m here are all the police cars that are unattended as the police jump out of the vehicles and hit the ground, running towards the suspects. Oh, hell yeah.

As the action moves to the other side of the street, I make a break for the police cars and slide into the passenger seat of the first cruiser I see left open. I don’t have a lot of time, and this is a rare opportunity, so I move fast. I pull a flash drive from my backpack and stick it into the laptop in the seat next to mine. Already, the flash drive is installing a keylogger on the computer, so hopefully I can nab some credentials and really start hunting through police reports.

Five. Four. Just a few more seconds. Three. Two.

“I’m on it!”

I look up and see a cop running back to the cruisers. My cruiser.

“Shit,” I say, and yank the flash drive out. My arm hits up against a knob and the sirens of the car flare up. “Shit!”

I jump out of the car, and immediately, the cop spots me. “Hey!” he yells. Over where the two robbers were, the police have already subdued the pair, and attention is now being drawn back to me. Other cops look up when they hear the siren, and suddenly, I have about ten different officers staring me down. Well, that was the worst plan I’ve had today.

“Hands in the air, step away from the car!”

In a panic, I put my hands up near my head, palms out, but I’m shaking, and a new, older energy is taking over my body. One that I haven’t felt since the Facility. The wind in the intersection starts to pick up and I feel it swirling around my hands—my fingers tingling with adrenaline. With a burst of energy, I propel the wind from the palms of my hands.

There’s a crack and the roar of wind, followed by a force field extending out from where I stand, blowing away everything in my radius, razing the sidewalk clean.

Someone screams, the cops lose their footing, and I heave a breath, turning towards the skyscraper under construction. I’m cornered here. The only way to go is up.

The wind continues to howl and rip through the street and I sprint for the doors of the tower.

“Stop!”

“She has a weapon!”

It’s no longer about the robbers. It’s about me. The mutant running wild in Midtown.

My hands close around the door handle just as a shot rings out behind me. I feel burning pain, right in the bicep of my left arm, just missing my left wing. Those bastards shot me!

Boot steps, the shuffling of feet, chaos behind me. I open the door and limp inside, towards the elevator. C’mon, Willow. Like the doctors always said. Mind over matter. Mind over matter.

The elevator is taking too long, I head for the stairs, the pain in my arm refusing to subside. You just got SHOT. How do you plan to get out of this one? There’s a BULLET in you.

The stairs are a blur, I don’t remember climbing them at all, but suddenly I’m on the roof, with nowhere else to go. I can still hear the murmuring below on the street, and as I step closer to the ledge, a crowd begins to form. More police have joined the fray below.

I shut my eyes and focus on the voices below. Jessica? Is that Jessica? The voice is too mumbled to know for sure. I hear footsteps on the flights of stairs below me and I know my time is running out. There’s a steel beam that runs from the top of this skyscraper to the top of the other. The other side is not an option, though, because I hear police in that building, too.

Just as the door on the roof access door is busted open, I step out onto the beam. My arms are outstretched for balance and I carefully place one sneakered foot in front of the other.

“Stop!” one of the cops yells behind me, a woman. “You’re going to get hurt.”

Below me, I hear more sirens. Fire trucks. Let’s hear it for the boys in yellow!

I take another step onto the beam. And another. I’m out of arm’s reach now. The door on the other roof flies open and a few police officers flood out there as well. I take another step forward on the beam. Someone screams down on the street.

“Come on back!” a cop yells. “Kid—”

But I’m out of options. I stand, now, in the center of the beam, directly between the two buildings. Cops on both sides. I know what I need to do, and I don’t like it one bit.

My heart threatens to hammer out of my chest, and I turn to face the crowd below, feet planted next to each other on the beam.

Arms still outstretched, I let myself fall forward.

The screams—they’re everywhere. The ground. The police on the roof. The sirens. The wind roars in my ears and the lights around me blur.

No going back now.

I unfurl my wings and they snap me out of freefall, sending me shooting across the intersection and upward, up, up, up. The voices change below—more screams— and I rise again, the wing gathering under my wings, my lungs sipping in the cool air as my brain still tries to play catch up. The moon is out tonight, and its light guides me as I sail on streams of air towards freedom, leaving chaos behind me.

—————————————————————————–

As I continue to fly, now out by Hell’s Kitchen, I realize I need to stop. My bullet wound is really starting to hurt now that the adrenaline is starting to wear off. I lost the police and crowds when I cut through some clouds, and now I fly alone.

I still have my backpack on, and I remember that I have Jessica’s files in there. I guess I should stop while I’m here.

Mind over matter. Finish this and then get home. Have Marty help you get the bullet out.

I land on her apartment building’s roof. My smeared facepaint is still on and I pull a bottle of water out of my backpack to wash it off. After checking in my phone’s screen to make sure I got it all, I take the stairs down to her floor. It’s quiet tonight, no Malcolm in the hallway, not even an argument from the upstairs neighbor. I lift up my hoodie and see that I’ve bled through my tee-shirt underneath. Oh, well isn’t that just the cherry on top?

I knock and hear several footsteps before the door is yanked open.

“Hi,” I say, not waiting on a greeting I know won’t come. I’m in a lot of pain and I realize I shouldn’t have tried to cram this errand in. “I have police reports. A bunch. Pulled the interesting ones like you said.”

She takes the file from my hand and leafs through it. “Nice work.”

A wave of dizziness hits me and I feel my body sway a little. I steady myself and lean against the wall. I need to get that bullet out so I can heal and stop the bleeding.

“New door,” I say, nodding at it. “Looks g—” Another stab of pain hits, and my face grows flushed. I’m sweating bullets now.

“What?” Jessica looks up from my notes. “You okay? You look like shit.”

“Yeah,” I say. “I just… need to sit…” My knees give out and I collapse towards the floor, just as Jessica reaches out to steady me.

“Jesus,” she says. “What happened to you?” She helps me inside and shuts her apartment door. I lay my burning arms on her cool floor and wipe sweat from my forehead.

I don’t have enough energy to look, and I point towards my shoulder. “Got shot. Is it bad?”

“You got shot?” She drops the file in her hand and races to where I am on the floor.

“Was I doing something illegal?” I say as best I can. “You bet I was. Was it fun though? Hell yeah. Mostly.”

“This isn’t a joke, Willow!” She helps me pull the neck down on my baggy sweatshirt and get my left arm out to reveal a Pangea of blood on the left shoulder of my white tee-shirt. “Oh my God.”

“Can you—can you help me get the bullet out?” I ask.

“Are you serious? You need a doctor!”

“I can’t go to the hospital. Please. I’d do it myself, but I can’t reach.”

Jessica heaves a shaky sigh. “Where is it?”

“Follow the blood.”

She peels back my blood-soaked tee-shirt. “I see the hole.” Without any warning, she digs her fingers and yanks out the bullet.

I try not to, but I cry out and my wings shake involuntarily. I’m trying not to think about the consequences of everything that happened tonight.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I got it,” says Jessica. “You need to—”

“I’m a fast healer,” I say, straining on each word, before passing out on her floor.
