First, i'm not sure if this is the appropriate section so mod's feel free to move if you like.

I have a suspicion someone is up to no good at work, now i'm not certain so want to make sure but it's very difficult to check. What I need to do is be able to record what they are doing on screen, i've though of a keylogger but really they don't to press any keys to do what they are doing, they just need to click a few buttons and remove some entries. Is there any program that I can set to capture screens at regular intervals during a set period or do you have any other suggestions?

with active directory listing you can see what all your clients are doing cant you?

But i would watch out with it, as it is illegal to do and they could sue you if they find out....

It does exactly as you want, but it is 25 dollars

Do note that you can be sewed for using a keylogger on a pc without there knowing.
What you can do if you are the network administrator, en sniff the network traffic from and to his pc. That can usually give you lots of info. and i think that that might be legal.
Search this board for more info on sniffers.

There is a law suit going on right now first of its kind. A secratary is sueing the company because an employee put a key logger on her machine and she found out so yes be careful.

heh.. not very surprising... i saw something on the news about someone using an external (hooks up to PS/2) connection.. might be the same thing...
yeah, it's an invasion of privacy, but for some reason, this is VERY common...
if you do it, make sure you don't leave ANY PROOF (and be carefull) so it doesn't point back to you (and don't tell fellow employees).. and there ya go

If it involves data over the pipe sniff the info. I saw some vb source code that allowed screen captures at freevbcode.com. If you know vb a few modifications may be able to suit your needs.

If your in a managment postion, you may be able install a keylogger as long as you have it somewhere saying "you may be monitered, by using these computers you consent to the monitoring".

stick a webcam behind them lol

You could install something radmin (hidden in tray) and connect with view only.

Depends if the person agrees to some rules. I'm assuming that you are the boss or someone close to the boss. Also, Im assuming you dont like this person very much . With that said, what you need to do is set up a something REALLY sneaky on their computer. Not too many people know about it but there is a small hardware keylogger that plugs in between the cpu and the keyboard. Usually, the more expensive, the more keystrokes it can record. But, since you're not trying to record keystrokes mainly (hey, keyloggers might help you too), since using extra software may be illegal, split the monitor, run it into a splitter, and put an extra monitor somewhere else. The only legal way to add a screen capture utility is to warn them that their activities may be under surveillance.

He made no mention about it being legal or even ethical. What you want in this case is a good old fashioned trojan horse like Beast or optix (I like beast). Just install it on their machine, connect to them, and tell the screen capture part to save screenshots at 1 second intervals. That should catch whatever you're looking for.

Unless your in a position that allows you the ability to "monitor" your users in that fashion, and you have the written approval (CYA)I would not pursue it any further.

Your company may have a policy in place that you agreed to before obtaining your network account. If your taking this action on your own initiative, just remember a rule of thumb thats quite simple.

Never let your personal emotions cloud your professional judgement.

You may, and can end up on the back end of this situation, and then your career could be placed on hold. Especially if your looking to get into the InfoSec side of the house in the Government sector, where most positions require a security clearance.

I believe this is the article that was being mentioned perviously.

Would-be whistleblower indicted for keyboard tap

Thanks for the read. And go figure...the government officials don't want to have their hands dirty with what it takes to get the information they wanted. LOL..Oh wait...dusting gray off of hat so it's a white one again. <Composing self> "That was improper use of available technologies for certain. " LOL
