برامج تجسس

(تم التحويل من برنامج تجسس)

برامج التجسس Spyware، هي نوع من البرمجيات الخبيثة التي تحمل على أجهزة الحاسوب لتجمع بعض المعلومات عن المستخدمين بدون علمهم. وتكون برامج التجسس مخفية عن المستخدم، حيث يتم تثبيتها سرا على الحاسوب الشخصي، وقد يجد صعوبة في حذفها. في بعض الأحيان، بعض أنواع برامج التجسس مثل راصد لوحة المفاتيح Keylogger يقوم بتحمليها بواسطة مالك الحاسوب العام في بعض المؤسسات والشركات بغرض مراقبة المستخدمين الآخرين.

أمثلة على برامج التجسس

These common spyware programs illustrate the diversity of behaviors found in these attacks. Note that as with computer viruses, researchers give names to spyware programs which may not be used by their creators. Programs may be grouped into "families" based not on shared program code, but on common behaviors, or by "following the money" of apparent financial or business connections. For instance, a number of the spyware programs distributed by Claria are collectively known as "Gator". Likewise, programs which are frequently installed together may be described as parts of the same spyware package, even if they function separately.

  • CoolWebSearch, a group of programs, takes advantage of Internet Explorer vulnerabilities. The package directs traffic to advertisements on Web sites including coolwebsearch.com. It displays pop-up ads, rewrites search engine results, and alters the infected computer's hosts file to direct DNS lookups to these sites.[1]
  • Internet Optimizer, also known as DyFuCa, redirects Internet Explorer error pages to advertising. When users follow a broken link or enter an erroneous URL, they see a page of advertisements. However, because password-protected Web sites (HTTP Basic authentication) use the same mechanism as HTTP errors, Internet Optimizer makes it impossible for the user to access password-protected sites.[2]
  • HuntBar, aka WinTools or Adware.Websearch, was installed by an ActiveX drive-by download at affiliate Web sites, or by advertisements displayed by other spyware programs—an example of how spyware can install more spyware. These programs add toolbars to IE, track aggregate browsing behavior, redirect affiliate references, and display advertisements.[3][4]
