Key Logging software - how can I check if installed?

I am concerned that the security of my computer may have been compromised. Is there any way of checking whether key logging software has been installed?
What sort of files should I look for, since I expect the program hides itself?
Thanks,
Glyn

Finding wether a keylogger is installed is not an easy task. There are many places where one can hide. However such a program needs to phone home in order to share its find.
So, one can try monitorng outgoing communications to know whether anything tries to communicate with the outside world without ones permission. To do so try using LitteSnitch.
Using this one can do two things at once: find out if anything weird is happening and block any attempt to send back the data.

  • How can I check the installed patches ?

    Hi,
    I am using WLS 10.3.2.0 and I need to check the installed patches. What will be the easiest/reliable way to do it ? I can access the console and file system.
    Thanks

    I was referring to the server log files, named <ServerName>.log, which is located in the directory as you pointed out.
    D:\Oracle\11gFusion\user_projects\domains\MyDomain\servers\AdminServer\logs\AdminServer.log
    D:\Oracle\11gFusion\user_projects\domains\MyDomain\servers\MyServer\logs\MyServer.log
    Please look for log message with messageID, BEA-141107. Search/grep BEA-141107 in your log files.
    This log message is generated within the first 10 log messages when the server is started/restarted. If no patches are applied, it will look as below:
    <Apr 12, 2012 10:56:38 AM IST> <Info> <Management> <BEA-141107> <Version: WebLogic Server 10.3.2.0 Tue Oct 20 12:16:15 PDT 2009 1267925 >
    If your log file is rotated, then you might find this in one of the rotated log files (AdminServer.log00001).
    The idea is to check this message during startup to understand if a patch is picked up by the server or not.
    As far as I understand, OPatch can not be used to patch Oracle WebLogic Server.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/doc.1111/e16793/opatch.htm#CBHCHIDH
    You might be applying a patch to one of the overlaying products (FMW) like SOA, WebCenter that run on top of WebLogic Server.
    OPatch and BSU are two different tools to apply patches, so BSU can not list the patches applied through OPatch and similarly OPatch will not be able to list the patches applied through BSU.
    Regarding using BSU to apply patches: (check the second point about the zip file. We can not directly use the zip file)
    If you have access to My Oracle Support (MOS), you can find detailed instructions with examples in KM note ID: 876004.1
    Here are the same steps for your reference:
    1. Download the patch from My Oracle Support (MOS). For more details, please refer to Master Note: How to Locate and Download Patches for WebLogic Server Using My Oracle Support Note 1302053.1.
    2. Extract the contents from the zip file: you will have a jar file and patch-catalog_xxx.xml. A readme file may also be included.
    NOTE: If you do not see a <patchID>.jar in the downloaded zip file, it is very likely that it is not a WebLogic Server patch.
    3. Copy the files (for example, W6PT.jar) and the patch-catalog_xxx.xml from the zip file to the target machine. You do not need the readme file. Copy the files to the appropriate cache_dir directory for the target system: for example, $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/utils/bsu/cache_dir.
    4. Run the $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/utils/bsu/bsu.sh script as shown in the below example to apply the patch
    SYNTAX:
    ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=$WEBLOGIC_HOME -patchlist=<patchID> -verbose -install
    FOR EXAMPLE:
    ./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/opt/oracle/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=W6PT -verbose -install
    If you want an example to test for WLS10.3.2, please use patchNumber 9456759 to test.

  • The command key - nothing happens. how can i check if it works (new to mac)

    i have macbook pro 2013
    and i am trying to figure out the command key and its use (next to space bar ) left hand side
    when i press it nothing happens?
    and also is there a delete key on the keyboard that above the return key rigth? and that doesnt seem to work either if i am on a file and press that arrow (left)
    can anyone tell me if there is a problem ? or is there something i can try to see if it works? i have checked the keyboard mappings etc and its fine and set to default..
    thank you

    The command key is used in combination with other keys to do commands in apps as well as the Finder
    The easiest way to tell if your command and Delete keys work is to highlight a file that you want to move to the Trash.  Hold down the Command key and then hit the Delete key.  The file should move to the trash.
    here is a list of more keyboard shortcuts. http://www.danrodney.com/mac/

    3) Retail MAC
    01761103B810F00E

    Try to compare it with your results.

  • How can I check to see if my software has been registered?

    After a recent hardware replacement I am unable to find my Aperture 2 download. I never used it anyway so i'm not concerned but would like to be able to pass it on if it can be, is this possible? How can I check to see if I even registered it? I have the original packaging and all contents including Serial numbers, support ID, and four software coupons for updates. I am a bit technophobe, sorry!
    So,
    1. How can I check to see if it was registered correctly?
    2. Can someone else use the software?
    Hope someone can help.

    You don't need to check registration. In the Apple world registering software really doesn't have much of a purpose.
    If the software was bought on DVD and you have the serial number you are free to give it or sell it to anyone you wish.  Just keep in mind that Aperture 2 is very old and while it (sort of) works on the newer OS's it really isn;t a good solution for anyone serious about using Aperture. 
    It would be OK for someone with older hardware that is unable to upgrade past Snow Leopard but for anyone with newer hardware it would be a mistake to use.

  • How can I check my MobileMe mail & contacts from another iPhone?

    How can I check in on my MobileMe email &amp; contacts from another iPhone or iPad, not my own? When I go to Me.com, the only option it offers is to set up the iPhone with my account -- which is NOT what I want. Is there a workaround or another path to login that doesn't force the "setup"' page on me?

    What a dumb decision. It would seem sensible that a mobile visitor to me.com should be able to proceed to the "regular" website and check mail, etc., through the web interface. Obviously -- well, okay, maybe not, but it puzzles me! You might be (as I tried, yesterday) vising the site through the browser on your wife's iPhone, which is already set up with an account there (and it would require cancelling her log-in and completely resetting her iPhone to proceed on the path Apple now requires!), or ya might be using a friend's iPad (my next attempt, a few minutes later!), or etc. etc. etc.  Ooops! Brick wall! No options.
    Seems like a counter-productive decision, one that's certain to be counter to common-sense needs and goals of Apple users; I can't be the first person to find this dead-end to be frustrating and contrary to expectations.  Okay, I have my rant finished, now.
    Apple, what was the problem that you were so determined to "fix" with this, ummm, feature? Howsabout a little tiny button hidden in greyscale that allows you to contine to the website, or a forcing URL that bypasses the mobile "set-up" interception? Help?
    Thanks, gdgmacguy -- full credit for the answer! Darn it!
    Oops, for some reason it credited ME with the correct answer. I'll try to contact Apple support to get it credited to you. This is apparently a screwup in my posting.

  • How can i access my old correspondense with old password in Mozilla Thunderbird? How can i check out from my password?

    I had my website moved to other hosting. Accordingly, i changed a password, and when i checked in on my computer the first time with a new password, i stupidly checked the box "remember me on this computer", but i lost access to all my old emails that were laying in Thunderbird on my PC. How can i check out from the current password and log in with the old one so that i could access my old correspondense?

    '''Pop mail accounts '''can only access the server Inbox.
    Messages are downloaded to your computer and stored in the Thunderbird Profile mail account.
    Usually, the copy on the server is removed unless you select to 'leave messages on server' in Account Settings..
    'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' for pop mail account.
    These emails are stored on your computer and can be accessed in both 'online' and 'offline' mode.
    You would need to make sure you periodically create a backup of these emails.
    '''IMAP mail accounts '''see a remote view of any subscribed folder on the server.
    Subscribed folders download headers only and when you select to read an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temporary cache to faciltate quick access to reading.
    These emails are not stored in your Thunderbird profile folders on your computer, so would not be visible if you changed to 'offline' mode. They are stored on the server.
    If you did not synchronise those subscribed folders then a copy was never stored in your Thunderbird profile imap mail account.
    As you have modified the IMAP mail account and it is currently accessing the new hosting server, so cannot display anything on a different server, I would leave it alone because it is working just fine.
    What you could try is to create a new IMAP mail account with server settings to the old host server using the old password.
    File > New > exisitng mail account
    Enter name, email address and password
    click on 'Continue'
    If you do manage to get access, then synchronise the subscribed folders to get a copy downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folders. As those folders are constantly updating to match the server, once you have the emails downloaded, go into 'offline' mode and move them into 'Local Folders'; you will need to make new folders in Local Folders account for those emails.
    However, it is possible that you may not get access as that contract has ended. There is no obligation for the old host company to keep your emails if you do not have an account with them. In which case those emails will be lost.
    After creating new imap mail account, if you get access do as advised to get emails into Local Folders, once emails are in Local folders you can remove/delete the imap mail account. If it does not work, you can delete the imap mail account.

  • How can I check email from 2 Apple IDs on my Mac?

    Since recently, I can´t check my .me mail account any more on my Macbook any more.
    I have 2 Apple IDs, and the main one is another email address (which I need, too). Therefore, I can´t access the .me email any more from my Mac.
    Will I have to buy a Windows machine to check my Apple mail???
    To be precise:
    It DID work just fine for about 6 years, but recently it stopped working.
    And it looks like the only way to change this in the settings, would be to lose all the settings, fotos, emails, calenders, ... from the other Apple ID - which I don´t want.
    --> HOW can I check my .me email from my Macbook - WITHOUT logging off everything else???

    ...ok, that did not do the job either:
    Whenever I did choose "other", as soon as I entered my Email address, it just switched back to my active iCloud account, not letting me continue.
    Checking everything again and again, I just realized that both email addresses in question are already attached to my other Apple ID (the one I referred to as the active acct.), whereas the Apple ID in question does NOT have any Apple email address attached to it.
    --> So it looks like I am actually getting all the Apple emails into one account - which is great.
    --> I kind of see now why I can´t create another account there (considering that it would have to use one of the email addresses twice)
    So I´m cool with Email now, I guess... thanks for your help!
    But what about the notes that are attached to my secondary Apple ID?
    Internet Accounts (in System prfs.) shows that I now have 2 iCloud Interent accounts. My "primary" acct., that has all the iCloud features, and another one without them - and it has "Email", and "Notes" unchecked (Contacts, Calender and the reminders are checked/activated).
    Whenever I try to check the "notes" box in that account (still under System Prefs. / Internet Accounts), I am prompted for an iCloud Email to continue.
    - Entering my (primary) icloud email does not work ("already taken" msg.)
    - Choosing one from the drop down menu (suggestions) does not lead any further. All I get then is: "The program Notes can not be activated... please wait a moment and retry..."
    - Making up a totally new one does not work either.
    (same applies when I try to check the "Mail" box in order to activate Mail for that account)
    Any ideas how I can go from here? Is there another way to create an iCloud Email (which apparently is needed to access my old notes)?
    PS: I´m glad we found a way to communicate, the conversation with you has really helped me find the problem with my iCloud Email! It is frustrating when you feel you´re stuck and keep turning in circles...

  • How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?

    I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
    example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.  If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
    1-how can find the log files of this error?
    2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
    I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
    Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that
    CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
    While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
    There is a great article for your reference.

    How can I check and change the size of photo or doc in iPhone or any other app

    You would need software form a third party to have this option.  The free software that comes with the 8600 doesn't have an option for that. Vuescan is the only software I could find that says it works with your pritner and has a descreen option.  You have to purchase it, but it will give you more advanced options than the software that came with the printer.

  • HT5313 How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

    How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

    It's not technically challenging, but it isn't clearly necessary. In any case here's how:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
