It's purpose is to provide a quick and simple method for retrieving various computer system details, eliminating the need to exhaustingly search through numerous settings and properties to locate the details. The program contains 3 different sections so that specific details can be retrieved while unnecessary details are omitted. The sections are: applications, hardware and operating system. The sections themselves are also broken down into sub-sections for convenience. When a sub-section is clicked, the display box is cleared and the chosen sub-section details is displayed. If the append option is checked (underneith the display box), all details that are retrieved stay in the display box. To retrieve all of the sub-section details of a section, there is an "All" sub-section that automatically cycles through and appends each of that section's sub-sections. The application's design is completely custom and unique, as opposed to the standard (dull) look of average applications. 2. Sections The 3 sections are: applications, hardware and operating system. They can be found towards the top of the application. ..2a. Applications Applications are basically just various programs (software) that serve one purpose or another. There are generally handfuls of applications running on a computer at any given time - many being responsible for maintaining the functioning of the operating system. ....3a. Processes A process is the invocation of executable code. In other words, a process is basically a set of instructions that perform certain functions on a computer. An application is a process, but may also execute other additional processes. Different processes perform different tasks on a computer, many of which go unseen (without an interface). Most processes serve legitimate purposes, although some processes are strictly malicious in nature and require immediate attention. Intellex displays a thorough list of the current running processes on the computer, which can help to identify a suspicious or unrecognized processes. First displayed is the filename of the process. This is simply the name of the file as shown on the harddisk. Next is the process ID, or PID. This is a unique number given to a process upon it's execution, for the ability to differentiate between different processes. Then displayed is the amount of memory the process is using. Note: only available in Windows NT or above. Following is the priority level of the process. This level determines the amount of CPU to dedicate to a process. ....3b. Config.sys During the bootup of Windows, Config.sys is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. ....3c. AutoExec.bat During the bootup of Windows, AutoExec.bat is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. Note: In Windows XP, AutoExec.bat only loads enviornmental variables. ....3d. WinStart.bat During the bootup of Windows, WinStart.bat is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. ....3e. WinInit.ini During the bootup of Windows, WinInit.ini is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. ....3f. System.ini During the bootup of Windows, System.ini is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. ....3g. Win.ini During the bootup of Windows, Win.ini is loaded and can then potentially load malicious applications. ....3h. Registry During the bootup of Windows, keys within the registry are called that can potentially load malicious applications. ....3i. StartUp Directory During the bootup of Windows, applications within the StartUp directory are loaded that can potentially be malicious applications. ....3j. File Details After a file is selected, details such as DOS name, size, time of creation, time of most recent access, time of last modification, attributes, type, format, and more. A file may also be clicked on anywhere within Intellex and it's details will automatically be displayed. ....3k. Installed When an application is installed, this information is stored for uninstallation at a later time. This list can also include additional files required for an application to function properly. ..2b. Hardware Hardware generally includes the physical components of a computer system such as memory, processor, audio card, etc. ....3l. Processor The processor, or CPU (Central Processing Unit), is a key part of a computer. It controls all of the calculations and processing required in order for a computer to function. There are various processor types/brands with different speeds and other additional capabilities. ....3m. Memory Memory is basically "virtual space" where data is temporarily stored for normal computer functioning, such as the execution of applications. Memory is available in various sizes and comes in the form of "sticks" that attach to the motherboard. ....3n. Drives Drives are areas of space used for storing data, such as applications and files required by the operating system. A drive can be a whole harddisk itself, or a "partition" of a harddisk. A partition is simply a section of allocated space on a harddisk. ....3o. BIOS BIOS stands for "Basic Input/Output System". It's main function is to store configuration settings which are loaded at time of computer boot-up. ....3p. Graphics Graphics/video capabilities of the graphics card. ....3q. Audio Audio/sound capabilities of the sound card. ....3r. Network Network-related capabilities and properties. ....3s. Battery Details of the computer battery, if present. ..2c. Operating System The operating system is a platform which allows user functionability. A computer system requires that an operating system be installed and present in order for the user to make use of the computer system. There are various operating systems, including Linux, BSD, Novell, DOS, Windows, etc. Each operating system is different in various ways. ....3t. Details Operating system details include various capabilities, properties, settings, or limitations. These values may have been automatically set at the time the operating system was installed, or they may have been manually set by the user. ....3u. Clipboard The clipboard is a buffer of space used for copy and paste functions. This can refer to various things such as text, files, images, etc. ....3v. Directories Operating systems generally make use of various directories (or folders) for seperate tasks such as the cache or internet settings. ..2d. Log The log display can be navigated like a regular window (drag with titlebar, double-click on titlebar to maximize, etc). You have the option to save the log as a textfile or a HTML file. You may also print the log.
