How much info can one gain from data logs that can be used against you?

[Guest rokhuff]

I'm not sure if this is the right spot in the forum, if it's not I apologize. I was wondering though how much information could "malicious" people obtain by posting information such as what you get from the dds.txt logs and all of the other data logs that are posted on this forum. Could any of this information be used against you somehow?

Hi rokhuff

I see you are being helped in the hijackthis forum. Please stay with that helper and post all questions to that person. They will be able to explain better then I can.

to answer the question you posed ...

if the information that is provided could be "used against you" by those of a nefarious nature these types of forums would not be possible and all the information shipped "back and forth" would be encrypted .

i would be much more concerned about the information that has already been possibly gleaned before "discovery" of the infection from a/the compromised machine that is being worked on .

basically and personally speaking , someone would have better luck finding *something* worthwhile by sifting through your trash .

Yes. Dumpster-diving is a valuable HUMINT resource and is why one must shred all personal receipts and documents.

Forum requested logs provide virtually zero information.
