Hard challenge,

My idea about this, if I would try to capture the
login credidentials somehow, would be to capture the
screen around the pointer (or even the entire screen)
each time it clicks.

Have secure phun,
Dan

To all,

I am pentesting an application that is written in
several languages but
is complied into a single application.  So looking
at the application
with FxCop or Reflector for .NET apps does not work.

The application draws an image on the screen that
cannot be moved.  The
image has two values username and password.  The
application only
accepts mouse entries on a virtual keyboard, which
rotates every 60
seconds.  The application form fields which are
masked with "*" cannot
be read with applications like Foundstone's Showin. 
 Microsoft Spy++
does cannot see the values in the form fields once
they are entered. 

The application writes nothing to the registry that
can be used.  

The application uses the following items when
running:

1.  InternetFortezzaCard - part of WININET.dll
2. InternetInitializedAutoProxyDll - part of
WININET.dll
3.  MSWSOCK.dll
4.  USER32.dll
5.  Kernel32.dll

Sending random data to the open UDP (Foundstone
UDPflood) and TCP
(Foundstone Blast) ports does not crash the
application. 

Cramming random data into the username field does
nothing.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to
pentest the application
deeper?

Thanks,
