Stats League Table

This is a website in which you download a very tiny application (129kb, less than 1 photo!) and it runs in the background counting your key presses. I thought since we're all so chatty on these forums, we could enter a DPChallenge team into the league table for the most keystrokes.

All you have to do is sign up, download the program, log-in to the website, then join the DPChallenge team I started. The team name is DPChallenge and the ID is 6104.

The team password = photo (original eh?)

Lets move up those ranks! :)

Interesting. I am a bit too paranoid though--how does one know this doesn't have a keystroke "logger" for stealing passwords and stuff? Is the source available?

By the way, I see in the new users Langdon is already beating you Ben.

What we need here Langdon is to count presses of the update button. Let's see who wins that one. ;)

The source code is available apparently, as it says on the homepage it uses the source code from a previous project which I was also a member of. I'm not sure where it can be downloaded from, but my spyware programs haven't found anything suspect since installing.

My paranoid information security background screams to stay away from things like this regardless of how innocent and legit they may seem.

Although a quick search didn't seem to turn up any negative publicity about these guys, for all i know a keystroke counter may turn into a keystroke logger with the next update.

Why are they calling it a _logger_ on their web site anyway, when it's supposed to be a counter?

That just proves that I'm a bigger nerd that Ben is.

How sure are you guys that these people didn't set this thing up to get passwords, credit card numbers, ect... I mean I would like to play too, but there are some pretty sneaky people these days.

Well, I did it anyways. With all those users right now, I don't think it's a scam.

If it is a scam, I'm sure Ben will gladly compensate us for any loss that occurs as a result.

ps: laurielblack is quickly climbing the charts. Im skrrd.

Call me paranoid, but I'm not installing any keylogging software without seeing the source first... and I don't have enough time to consider packet sniffing its traffic :o)
