Anti-Hacking White Papers
Spyware & Network Security
Overview Distribution of Spyware is a common, daily practice and can come in many forms. The most common form is via the Internet from the many Web sites that are visited every day. In this case, it is nothing more than a small text file placed in the user's Internet Temporary Files folder, commonly called a "cookie". Cookies can store personal information, such as name, address, phone number, user name and password that is entered for a particular Web site. It can personalize a Web site so that it knows whom the surfer is when they return and greet them by name. Often it is used to track surfing habits and sends this information back to the originator of the cookie.
