Credibility of WhatPulse

Post by nigma »

Hey, I was considering signing up and dloading the WhatPulse client but then I thought about it and said "Hey, could this program be sending my keystrokes to their server where people then go through and extract passwords and other various sensitive information?"

Bit of a consipiracy theory, but wondered if any of you guys have anything to say regarding the my thoughts? Besides "he's crazy" ;)

i reckon half of the pulse are faked anyway.

all you need to do it run a vb script like this

Code: Select all

dim wshshell
set wshshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")

wshshell.run "notepad"
wshshell.appactivate("notepad.exe")
wscript.sleep 1000

do
wshshell.sendkeys "1"
loop
And leave it running over night. i don't see te point, but you know what some people are like!

Yay! :lol: j/k.

I can't Pulse anymore since I've completely switched over to RedHat. I wiped out my dual boot for XP just a while ago :D.
