All-Seeing Eye
http://www.fortego.com/en/ase.html
With today's hostile Internet environment, specifically with
the large amounts of spyware, viruses and hacker tools,
a lot of small utilities are floating around designed to help
users monitor certain detailed aspects of their computers.
All these tools have mostly completely different designs,
completely different GUIs, and some are not even working
very good at all. This results in a lot confusion and extra
work for users to be able to monitor all necessary aspects
of their computers. You have to fill up the computer with a
plethora of small utilities that need to be learnt individually,
and which can often interfere with each other and consume
unnecessary amounts of system resources.
All-Seeing Eye was created as a solution to this. Our goal
is to provide a single tool that monitors all different important
areas of the computer and operating system. This goal also
includes providing a better and more easy-to-use graphical
user interface (GUI) and better user interaction procedures
than other tools, while still also providing better additional
features and functionality.
What Does It Do?
When compared to e.g. antivirus software, All-Seeing Eye
has two big differences:
- The first difference is that All-Seeing Eye is not actively preventing
actions from taking place in your computer, but it is rather monitoring
everything that takes place, and then alerts the user as soon as
anything suspicious or out-of-the-ordinary is happening, providing
the user with alternatives for possible actions.
- The second difference is that it is not basing its monitoring and alerts
on a list of known threats, but it rather learns what is normal for the
specific computer in question, and then detects anything that is new
or out of the ordinary. This way, it will detect also unknown threats,
like for example a completely new spyware program, or a hacker
breaking into your computer with a custom made tool.
This methodology has many advantages, and it is a great complement
to antivirus software (which we do of course in no way encourage you
to stop using, but rather the contrary).
All-Seeing Eye runs on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows Server 2003.
Version 0.7.0
- Added new tool: DLL Tracker
A tool that will authenticate any DLL that is loaded by any running
process, and thus alert you about any attempts of DLL injection,
no matter if the attempt is made through modification of existing
legitimate DLLs, or injection of completely new ones into a running
process.
- Added new tool: Winsock LSP Guard
A tool that will guard the collection of Winsock Layered Service
Providers (LSPs) in your computer, and alert you about any
addition, modification or subtraction from this collection.
- Added new tool: Hosts File Guard
A tool that will guard the collection of entries in the Windows
Hosts File, and alert you about any addition, modification or
subtraction from this collection.
- Increased the performance and decreased the CPU usage of
the program.
- Decreased the maximum shutdown time of the program.
- Fixed a bug in the Event Log Tracker, that mixed up the chosen
alert response action from the user, resulting in the program not
acting according to what the user selected.
- Fixed a bug in the Event Log Tracker, that under certain conditions
could prevent the list of excluded events/sources from being
displayed properly in the settings.
- Fixed a bug in the File System Guard, that under certain conditions
could make it hang.
- Fixed a bug in the Registry Guard, that under certain conditions
could make it hang.
Version 0.6.1
- Fixed all earlier GUI problems occurring for users with non-standard
high DPI settings in Windows.
- Made sure that the application runs well with a minimum screen
resolution of 800*600.
Version 0.6.0
- Added new tool: ActiveX Object Guard
A tool that will guard the collection of ActiveX objects in your browser,
and alert you about any addition, modification or subtraction from this
collection.
- Added new tool: Browser Helper Object Guard
A tool that will guard the collection of Browser Helper Objects (BHOs)
in your browser, and alert you about any addition, modification
or subtraction from this collection.
- Added integrated internet lookup for information about all event log
messages.
- Fixed some smaller bugs.
