About Dashboard

Apparently, there has been alot of rumours about some virus’s scanners that are returning false positives on the scripting application ‘Dashboard’. So I’m going to post the only reason(s) as to why I possibly think it could be doing this.

Upon programming ‘Dashboard’ the application was completely clean, there was nothing in the versions that I released to log any of your usernames or passwords and give them to me. This could be modified in any versions that you get anywhere other than the following link: http://mediafire.com/myrax

Dashboard does however store your username and password locally, should you want it to remember your details (an option you can check upon login) It stores your details in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Dashboard\DATA\DAT.dat

Inside that file you will find some random hex; that’s your username and password protected should some one attempt to access your local machine and grab those details (for what-ever reason).

However, there is no other reason for Dashboard to return a false-positive. So if you’re receiving what you think may be one be sure to check out where you downloaded it from!

Also, be sure to read the below post! It’s got some very interesting information about Habbos Captch (It’s been cracked!)

    It touches system info so its picked up as a virus, however it is not.

    run_first.exe may be picked up because it runs ‘regsvr32′ to register the .dll’s and .ocx’s within the /components/ folder.

    This is stupid. Captcha never was a problem. In Google Chrome (prob works in other browsers) as long as you get the password right it will log you in. It only asks you to type the captcha when you get the password wrong.

    Err.. Jimmy? You need the captcha for mass-registering, bruteforcing account passwords and date of birth brute. So… Yeah…

    Err.. Jimmy? You need the captcha for mass-registering, bruteforcing account passwords and date of birth brute. So… Yeah…  

    You have paid services for that, costs a few cents for every cracked captcha. If you really want to mass register some accounts you can easily gather $50 with AdSense or something. Still… Habbo Nursery mini was better, SOM members could fill in a captcha when posting on the forums and that would create one bot.

    Also Dom: why don’t you store the settings/vault file on the local path of the app? I have never heard of AV’s having an issue with that. Just when reloading your ‘vault’, check if the file is in the same dir as the executable. If it isn’t, create one. Then just read it out?

    When the application was in development (I’ve since lost the source code and ceased development) it seemed like a good idea to have it in “%WinDir%\Program Files\”, i’m not sure why. Either way, it followed the same principle you’re talking about now, just in a different location. ;]

    You can’t download them all unless you’re a member.

    So if you steal someone’s encrypted DAT file, couldn’t you take his/her account over by placing the file in the dat folder of your dashboard installation?

    Noon question in regards to this specific program – everything works fine on Dashboard until the screen loads completely… then I get an error from Habbo itself. Is this program just simply patched?

    best,
