Remote Screen Capture/SpyCatcher
 

Hey yall, I have a few questions. My first one is how can I get a realtime mode of a remote computers screen? I dont need it to refresh every couple seconds I need it in realtime as if it was the computer you was on. i know it woint be right on time or anything but you knwo what I mean. Also, what would be better to view it in? Like I've heard people have viewed throgh web browsers or something, but whoch woudl be better?

Second question, I talked to infinite about this a few weeks ago and I was wondering if yall had any suggestions. I am making a spyware catcher that is always scanning when you are active. Most I know only scan when you tell it to, and if you are scanning while your online, you will be more likely to catch them all. Now my plan thus far is to use Ad-Aware's db file. But how could I get some files that has spyware sigs, and a list of sites to block? I know most companys that make this kind of stuff have a security analyst team or something and they break stuff apart, but I'm a one man operation when it comes to software all my other firends do networking and stuff. So if yall can help thanks.

This is a tough one, not quite sure how to go about it, as i do not have much experience with directshow, but my guess is that you are probably going to have to delve into the relm of directshow and live streaming video to do something like this. If i were you i would look at some directshow live streaming webcam source, research codecs and whatnot as well.

If you could write something similar to a live streaming webcam(which there is probably a decent amount of code for on the web) only tweak it so that the source is not from a camera but screen captured video, you could probably do this.

going to spy on someone while creating anti-spyware at the same time? :p

lol, no no I'm not spying on no one. Its somethign I am making for my school. So they can monitor the computers from the library so mrs. jason doesnt have to do it all. She is kinda old.

Due to bandwidth limitations, full screen updates as they display aren't feasable. However, the remote desktop functionality built into Windows and VNC are good examples of how compression and selective updates (such as only updating what has changed) allow fairly real time remote viewing and screen manipulation. The microsoft implementation boots off whoever is logged on (if you have the permission to do so) and starts a new session. VNC can run as a service and allow more...surreptitious viewing.

It's a tough subject. I'd stick with using tools that are already available, rather than reinventing the wheel.
