This post will be modified as time goes on and will eventually evolve into a FAQ.

The ShowEQ developers do not support or endorse any given key sniffer utility. The sniffer utilities your find here are used at YOUR OWN RISK. Any problems resulting from using these key sniffers found here and not the responsibility of the ShowEQ developers or anyone else. It is YOUR responsibility to review the code or place your trust in someone that is capable of reviewing the code.

There are several things you MUST be aware of before you use any program found on this forum:

1. There is NO 100% safe key sniffer. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. IT DOESN'T and it will NEVER exist. The programmers at Verant/SOE, for all their faults, are not stupid. They are very competent and intelligent programmers. Just as we can "undo" anything they do to find key sniffers, they can "undo" anything we do to try and protect the key sniffer from being detected. There's no telling when code will go into the EQ program to allow detection of new key sniffers, nor is there any way to tell when that code will become active.

2. Do NOT use pre-compiled binaries that have no source code available for review. In fact, do NOT use pre-compiled binaries at all. Compile them yourself from the source code, AFTER you review it.

3. Do NOT post a link or an attachment. Post the SOURCE code and let others compile it. Generally speaking, any links to pre-compiled binaries will be deleted and/or edited, depending on the situation. Any links to pre-compiled binaries left by the moderators is NOT an endorsement of any given key sniffer. Especially if it's a newer post, the moderators may not have seen it yet.

4. Using any key sniffer on this forum will likely get you banned eventually. The "safest" solution is to write your own and not distribute it. However, we realize this is impractical for the vast majority of you. Hence the existance of this forum.

I will add to this post as time goes on. Please READ everything in this post 3 or 4 times before embarking upon your key sniffing adventures.
