Subject: RE: [Full-Disclosure] Looking for a tool
Well, I usually use *sysinternals* Process Exporer, and have yet to see
it fail to list a process... how do you know the process exists, if you
can't list it?
Real simple. I have randomly named processes (like gk5odre.exe) popping
up, and when I kill them, another one takes their place. *Something*
has to be the parent than controls this. I can delete an entire
registry key and watch it be recreated in less than a second. I can
delete a directory with three dlls in it and watch it be recreated right
before my eyes. I can kill the randomly named process and watch it
reappear using the same name or a completely different name. I can
delete the executable after killing the process, and it will be
recreated in no time. So *something* has to be controlling it, yet when
I look at the process tree, the randomly named process appears to be the
parent.
