Kroma Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi,I have Cyberhawk installed and it has just informed me that utorrent is logging keystrokes.What could have caused this - should I be wary?Thanks,Kroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 What proof do they offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroma Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The log file just says:Keystrokes logged (Denied)Triggered by Utorrent.exeNo more info other than the time and who was logged on (me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurahashi Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thats not too much, you know.What exact version of utorrent do you have?Are you sure you get it from this site, not from scams?How big is your utorrent.exe file. A CRC of it would be welcomed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroma Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 It's v1.6 build 474It originally came from this site and has been updated since.It's 171kb according to windows explorer.Maybe it's just a false positive. I've been using Cyberhawk for several weeks alongside utorrent without any problems.Kroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Eh are you using the boss key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroma Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 No, the boss key wasn't in use. I've just tried the boss key and there were no warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 We could use a CRC to verify your uTorrent is for reals. An MD5 would be better. Hell, even getting the filesize like we asked for (in bytes, not KB - accuracy helps identify the file) would be a plus.The long, do-it-yourself way would be to install hashtab and get properties on the file, then go to the "file hashes" tab and copy/paste the MD5.The short way (and to learn about a new site) would be to go to hostfile.org, sign up, and upload the file. The MD5 will be displayed on the file information page.But IMO this all sounds like more false positives from overly paranoid but utterly useless "security" software... any program that listens for keystrokes and inputs could be a "keylogger". Drat! Any program that actually DOES something is evil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroma Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm starting to think 'False positive' too!How do I find the CRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Falcon4 just told you: use HashTab. It's very useful, yet unobtrusive, and I always keep around for stuff like this (you'll never know when you need to know the hash of a certain file).

christiansk Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 i use that same utorrent version and cyberhawk too, and just got that warning for the second time (in a couple of weeks). i'm thinking false positive too...just in case, here's the file info:Size: 174163 bytesMD5: 501A7993D267174D87B8533C3A80DD7BSHA1: E9177873CF0A8216EA4B015544286068B4DDDD28CRC32: CE1982FF(btw, i use the program named hash from this site: http://keir.net/hash.html; it generates the checksums i posted above, supports drag and drop, and is as clean as utorrent - just one .exe file, no installation needed, no registry/files junk with it.. just thought i'd share that, hehe)can someone check the hashes for us?thanks,christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Ooh, looks nice (Hash, that is). The hashes are indeed correct, so it probably is a false positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christiansk Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 yeah, there are other good programs at that site as well. =)thanks, i'll just allow it in cyberhawk then.christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
