SecurityAudit

[vinay]

The code seems good although it doesn't display any alerts yet and the code is poorly documented.

will put in the messagebox for the alerts and will give appropriate comments where ever necessary

IF there is nething else to be done please say so...As this is my first project i have little idea of these things...
Thanks for the help so far....

Well if that is everything that is required I think that the client is done (we will add the communication with winsock later) I think you better start working with the server now.

What will be the major work done by server prog....?

According to me the server prog has to detect the computers in the network and retrieve the list of unauthorised software from each computer and put it in a log file....
So the basic thing that the server has to do is copy the log file generated by the client prog and add an ip addr to the log for identification of the computer tht was scanned...
Is my approach correct...Please rectify if wrong

The thing that is not getting clear is :- how is the client prog goin to be initiated/executed from the server prog?...do u have a code to execute an exe frm a vb prog...??
Is it possible to execute an exe file from a vb prog....???


P.S. - The demand from the software is it has to auto execute.
The software will be present in a pendrive and not installed
in the computer....The moment the pendrive is inserted the
program has to execute and give the result after scanning.
How am i supposed to go about this....??????

If you want to put it that way.. to me it seems good, and should work without any problems.

The server cannot start the client until the client is already started. (If that was possible hacking would be easy because any remote machine would be able to start programs on your machine!

I don't know how to make a USB drive to auto execute but I think that we can create an autostart program just like we do on CD's?

[vinay]

So how am i supposed to communicate with the client prog...?

This company has a system called LANDesk...Any update to be distributed in the network is done via the LANDesk....Can i make use of this for the distribution of the client software?

How to execute client prog ?

Just giv me an idea about :How to get the communication done
between the client and the server in this
project?

No need. You should have your client program communicating with the server and not the server with the client first.

I don't know.. I never used that

How to execute client prog ?

From the USB stick?


Just a Note:- I am helping you with this project a lot.. now I HOPE that when this is ready you won't run off and never return back on this forum.

[vinay]

I like to keep frnds with ppl who help..i m not a runner..infact i would like to get to knw more abt u as u have been helping me without any prior knowledge of who i am...M grateful for all the help tht u have provided.(By the way what is ur name? and where r u frm?Do u live in mumbai?)

I thought of getting to knw more abt u after the project was complete...But i guess there's no harm in knwin it earlier....

A lil info abt me : I m doin my TYBScIT from SIES Colg
I am RHCE certified and m plannin to get in the IT field on security lines..i.e network and OS security...
M planning to take up MCA after my graduation...

[TcM]

This doesn't seem to be a suitable place for Intros but WTH, so No I don't live in Mumbai.. and I'm still a student studying in the I.T. Field... Of course I would like to be a programmer in the near future

Ok now back to the project
