Overview

Vendor Notes:

from the web site: 'Cyber Predator is an Internet/Network security and activity monitor

In Real-Time it sniffs all internet/intranet/extranet traffic to and from the clients browser looking for key (naughty) words in the content, and in real time will alert a manager/administrator of the naughty activity, so the appropriate action can be taken. But that's not all, it also logs browser activity, so you can see what your traffic patterns are, who visited what site and when, this product not only identifies the client IP address, but (if they are using Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Networking), it will tell you the PC Name, and the user logged onto that PC at the time, Logon name and Full Name.

That's not all either, it has several pages of treeviews (Like Explorer) so you can drill down into Users to see what sites they visited and what pages they viewed and how long they were looking at each page, you can look at sites, and see what users visited them, and you can look at PC's to see what sites they have visited and what pages they viewed. You also can see the violation words and associated users.'

Category:

Key Logger: (Keystroke Logger). A program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack. For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user. Keylog programs are commonly included in rootkits and RATs (remote administration trojans).

Surveillance: Any software designed to use a webcam, microphone, screen capture, or other approaches to monitor and capture information. Some such software will transmit this captured information to a remote source. See also Key Logger.
