There is a possibility that the spyware writes to the local disk covering its tracks. Don't know of any good tools to help winnow out the chaff. You are looking for traffic to an unusual ip/port combination. Periodically change the drive, take the filled drive home and use ethereal or snort or similar to go through the dump file and see if you find anything odd. Run tcpdump on the traffic back and forth. Set up the laptop to act as a bridge - all packets are passed through. (I would recommend OpenBSD, then FreeBSD just because of easier management) Your best bet is to scrounge an old laptop, ideally with 2 ethernet ports, or, failing that with a PCMCIA network card. It can do this either immediately, or store locally and periodically spew it to some network destination. If you've been hacked, the keylogger has to report. Is there a list of known possible folders / processes to look for? it's not like the process would be called SpyAgent Helper I also looked all the processes running at different moments with Activity Monitor but again.

I tried scanning all folders in my user's and system Library but nothing rang any bell but since I think any of this software would hide the folder (either by location or name) I don't think I'll find a folder named Employeee Spy Data

how can I detect spy software in a iMac running OS X 10.6.8? I have full admin permissions know it.

It's illegal and I won't allow anyone to store my passwords (I do access my personal email, homebanking and Facebook account during lunch breaks) and personal information.

I don't want to work for someone he doesn't trust me me.

I have nothing to hide so I don't know if he doesn't tell me anything because he didn't find anything out of place or because I'm being paranoid and he's not spying me.Įither way I want to be sure if I'm being spied because: Maybe a keylogger, screen capture or something to know what I do when he's not at the office.

I have some serious suspition that my boss installed some kind of spy software.
