This message is in regards to an email posted to this list stating the
individual has provided a utility to decrypt any Window-Eyes encrypted
script.
Obviously we take these things very seriously but we went in with
caution.Personally I never trust someone who I don't know that says
download this and run it.So we used a very secure and isolated system to
test this so-called decrypt utility.Our tests failed.Meaning this
utility did not decrypt the script as it suggested.Did it install any
malware or virus? I don't really know as the test system was wiped clean
after our testing.
Regarding the legality, this would indeed be illegal as in order to
decrypt any app would require reverse engineering Window-Eyes itself
which is clearly stated as being illegal in the end user license
agreement that the user accepts during the Window-Eyes installation.
So at this time I take this post as a hoax to get people riled up and
possibly infect individual machines.It is disheartening to know that
this motivates certain individuals.At this time there is no evidence
that this utility does what it is stated to do.

Doug
