NightCrawler
Nightcrawler[1] is a Keylogger that records keypresses and saves them to a file of choice then at the right time it will send its results to an email address. Nightcrawler[1] basically has a mind of its own, it will record what user is logged in at that time, what keys are being pressed and if the keys being pressed are usernames or passwords.

Nightcrawler[1] will write to a file that looks like this... eg. notepad recording -- [Current Window Active: Untitled - Notepad] [User logged in: JohnDoe] blah(space)blah(space)blah(space)howe(backspace)(space)are(space)you? -- eg. auth field -- [Current Window Active: Sign in] [User logged in: JohnDoe] [Username: JohnDoe] [Password: 1234Doe] --

When you are entering a username it will record it in a special field so the attacker knows what the username is and same for the password and if you are not typing a username or a password it will go to the next line in the file and start typing.

NightCrawler[1] is stealth and cannot be seen by human eyes unless the user goes and searches high and low for it. It can be tricky because Nightcrawler[1] will mask itself as a Windows Application and if you have Anti-Virus Software you wont have it anymore.

The NightCrawler[1] Program is used to monitor your own home computer or work computer and is not for illegal uses although has been used for illegal use by malicious hackers. Nightcrawler[1] is intended to record what your children look at or anyone at your own home that you have concern over.

Nightcrawler[1] was written by Adam Greenough in 2003 and has been published to the web but is rather quite rare now that it is evolving itself.

The files it creates... - Config.ini - Log.h3x - Nightcrawler[1] - Binary Data Sender (also known as windows update manager) Need to look out for this one. - RegBuddy (installation for the registry but is now built in)

How to find it? It is near impossible to find because when you get close to it Nightcrawler[1] will hide somewere else. The best way to get Nightcrawler[1] out of your computer is to do a system restore.
