Re: Reading WndProc Messages

John Wright

I guess I was not clear in what I needed to do. The control I was given was
claimed to be hack proof and to keep the credentials of the user safe and
unexcessible to a developer. I wanted to prove my point it was not secure
at all. I created a class to extend the control and was able to intercept
the WndProc messages and I wanted to send them out to a file on the network
for logging to prove a point. However, I found a better way to do this. I
just turned the KeyPreview on and was able to capture the keys strokes sent
to the control. Voila, I was able to capture who logged on. Now I can see
who has tried to access the dataware house and when. This is an auditing
procedure we must follow in our industry due to the data being stored.
Since I was forced to use this control, I "hacked" it to see who was trying
to access the system. I did not log it where the control connects because
a) I don't have access to the server that validates the users and b)Only our
site needs this data.

So problem solved. KeyPreview saved it for me.
