Take the Anonymizer Snoop Test...
Hi All

I just went to the Anonymizer site and tried their "Snoop" test.

Of course, we know you can gather such things as brower info, etc., but guess what?...there is some way to gather your clipboard data, too.

http://www.anonymizer.com

Then, click the Snoop link in the left nav. Smile

Code:
<script>

var interval = 4000;
var prevClipboard = "";
var clipHistory = "";

function main ()
{
window.setTimeout("test();", interval);
return;
}

function test()
{

document.clippie.SWAP.value = "";
document.clippie.SWAP.focus();
document.execCommand("paste");
document.clippie.SWAP.blur();
newClipboard = document.clippie.SWAP.value;

document.clippie.SWAP.value = "";
if(newClipboard == prevClipboard)
{
window.setTimeout("test()", interval);
return;
}
clipHistory += "----> " + (new Date()) + ": ";

clipHistory += newClipboard + "";
prevClipboard = newClipboard;

document.clippie.MAIN.value = clipHistory;

window.setTimeout("test();", interval);
return;
}

main();

</script>

I shoulda guessed, eh??

I didn't know that the clipboard was wide open.

Anyone know the total list of stuff that can be gathered? Would be nice to know...

One thing is that I installed the latest Firewall by Norton, and it didn't block the clipboard info (or I don't have it configured for this...I'll have to look)

Thanks very much, Paul Smile

I don't think you can, clipboard info is client side javascript (may be wrong).

ummm, unnn, yahhh, uhhhh,

My clipboard would show because I'm not browsing with IE. Hmmm, later on though it informs me that my browser is Internet Explorer.

It hung on the last final network test.


oh well, good idea though. It's just not for me I guess.

I don't use AV software but it just comes down to common sense. I don't open email attachments called ClickMe.exe Cool

What about such things as faked headers? One virus a while back didn't wait for you to click on the attachment - it executed when the email opened. Did that get you or not?

I've had no viruses on my current machine that I can remember...I've had it for about three years.

I don't open emails I don't recognise, simple as that.

I don't use any virus checkers on this computer I have at home, but I use Becky! for my e-mail so I'm not prone to those Outlook viruses that popup every week.
