] Phasmatis is a open source
] program that can read and write SPT files. SPT files
] contain screenshots, keylogs, visited URL, application
] names, and other data recorded by the Spector(tm)
] monitoring program. Spector is closed source and only
] runs on Windows Platforms. Phasmatis is OS independent,
] and currently runs on Linux and Windows platforms.
]
] Phasmatis is designed to solve several problems:
]
] * Phasmatis can be run on (theorically) any OS that
] zlib has been ported to, and SPT viewing is no longer
] locked only to Windows Platforms. As Linux moves more and
] more into the corporate setting, this is very important.
]
] * Certain people, such as System Administrators, only
] need to view SPT file, and purchasing another license for
] Spector(tm) that includes features that are not needed
] (ie recording), isn't econmical.
]
] * Phasmatis allows people who are being monitored at
] work or at home to know it, and allows them to see what
] activities are being captured. It allows the user to
] detect restrictied activity that was captured that maybe
] they did not do, and allows them to pro-actively approach
] who is in charge to discuss the matter.
