The RSITY report
Intro
Hijackthis has not evolve anymore since 2007 and becoming though a very efficient tool , it is rapidly becoming inadequate, we often need to use diagnostic tools that make further analysis and generate longer reports ... Random's System Information Tool (RSITY), created by Random/Random, is one such tool.
You'll see that during the first use of RSITY, there are two reports that appear. : Info.txt and log.txt.
After this , there will only be the log.txt that will appear.
info.txt Report
- It lists all programs installed in the "Uninstall list" (this is especially useful at the end of disinfection, to identify programs that need updating)
- It displays a sample of the host file in the "Hosts File" section, which can show an empty hosts file or a hosts file that was modified by security software to block malicious sites.
- The list of security software installed, based on the Windows Security Center (which does not always detect all) in the "Information Security Center"
- The "System event log" gives information from the Windows Event Log.
- Finally, the "Environment variables" correspond to environment variables.
log.txt Report
- It gives general information: RSITY version, operating system, but especially about the hard disk and RAM, notifying how much these resources are used ... This is useful for identifying the cause of any delays in the computer.
- It contains a Hijackthis report sometimes showing hidden elements that do not show the standard version of Hijackthis.
- The list of scheduled tasks (part of Windows that can automatically perform tasks such as updating the virus) in the "Scheduled tasks folder"
- An section dedicated to sensitive points in the registry "Registry dump. It shows including registry keys "mountpoints2", which are indicative of an infection of removable disk if they correspond to a negative file.
- The list of files and folders created in the previous month in the "List of files / folders created in the last 1 month" and those that have been modified over the same period in the "List of files / folders modified in the last 1 months. This allows to locate some files added by infections that would not necessarily be a simple report Hijackthis.
- Finally, a list of drivers and services, where certain infections sometimes hide (List of drivers and services).
