In the spirit of the best defence is a good offense, I went to the Spector
web site to find out something very interesting.

They disable the keylogging software remotely if they find you using it on
another machine. Hmmm... how do they know if you've used it on another
machine.

Taking advantage of that 'feature', all we'd have to do is make our
machines "look" like another machine and the software would disable itself.

Pretty simple. Now, the question is, how does Spector "know" what machine
it's running on? And, how would we spoof that item?

Does anyone know what to do to "spoof" another computer?









Note: Here is their license information saysing what I summarize above:
http://www.spectorsoft.com/support/S...ndows/faq.html
The Spector Pro software license agreement allows a user to install on an
additional computer, if the new installation is being done to a computer
that is replacing the original computer which Spector Pro was installed.
The original computer must be taken out of service.

This policy allows customers who are upgrading to newer computers the
ability to continue to use their Spector Pro license with their new
computer. This transfer of the license from an old computer to a new
computer can only be done once. Any installations of a Spector Pro serial
number on more than two computers or on 2 or more computers simultaneously,
will result in the Spector Pro serial number being disabled and the
software being deactivated.
