Below is a partial paraphrase of Scott McIntosh's DOCs for HIS
program "XSNOOP". The paragraphs below are modified to fit the style
of this program "YSNOOP". (YS.COM)
DLM: Sun 08-22-1993 05:00:51 and the new programs; ysa,ysf,yslb,ysdb,
ysw, and ysc.
YSNOOP is a security program designed to discourage people from
snooping in your personal computer. YSNOOP is based on a simple idea:
because virtually any PC security program can be beaten by a determined
snooper, the most effective security program is one that doesn't *look*
like a security program. YSNOOP is designed to look like DOS itself,
giving snoopers the impression that they are dealing with a corrupted
operating system rather than a security program.
When you activate YSNOOP, it replaces your DOS prompt with a simulated
prompt. The simulated prompt allows a user to enter commands just like
the DOS prompt does. Unlike the DOS prompt, however, the simulated
prompt created by YSNOOP saves the snoopers commands in a file called
YSNOOP.LOG.
Further, the simulated prompt will respond to the snoopers' commands by
displaying one of several error messages, like "EXEC error", or
"Bad command or file name", etc... Hopefully, when a snooper sees what
looks like the DOS prompt and what look like DOS error messages, he will
not realize that he has come up against a security program at all and
therefore will not try to get around the program. The way to terminate
YSNOOP and restore the TRUE DOS prompt is to enter the private password
that you specify when you activate YSNOOP.
YSNOOP can be run from DOS any time you are going to be away from
your computer. In addition, YSNOOP can be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, creating an invisible password logon feature when your computer
is turned on.
At the command line, The syntax for YSNOOP is very simple:
ys yourpasswordwithnospaces
After the line above, you may exit YSNOOP with the password:
yourpasswordwithnospaces
You may use any password, please use no spaces :).
Many thanks to
Scott McIntosh

Now with this zip file you will find the following programs:
ys.com Standard colors / puts the YS.log file in the default dir.
ysa.com Standard colors / puts the YS.log file in the root of the a: drive
ysc.com Standard colors / puts the YS.log file in the root of the C: drive
yslb.com Light blue on black background + same as ys.com
ysdb.com Dark blue on black background + same as ys.com
ysw.com White on black background + same as ys.com
ysf.com For use on novell nets / puts the YS.log in the F:\login dir
...at least this is how it works on my systems. Check it out.
Keep The Faith (and spread it around..)
