Spyware Information: A Beginners Guide to Cracking
This application is a password guesser. It is designed to try to break through a password system by guessing millions of passwords until it gets the correct one. Hackers will often use such tools to break into computers on a network; they can set up the password guesser to try to log in to the network, and let it run until it does.
Although you may have never heard of A Beginners Guide to Cracking and don't know how it got onto your computer, your computer may have beem compromised and a hacker may have installed the password guesser on it. This allows the hacker to run the guesser without being caught -- if a network administrator sees that someone is trying to guess a password and traces the communication, the trace will end at your computer.
