I couldn't believe this when I first experienced it. The offending site was http://www.bbc.co.uk/. Of course, whether the java applet downloads, as you say, without your knowledge or permission, depends upon the settings in the browser. I had this site in my secure sites zone (ie6) and have since removed it. I run Proxo and would definitely appreciate a little more detail on your countermeasures. I see the measure.class files, but I'm not sure (apart from disabling java applets) how to defend against this unbelievable intrusion. I hope your commentary stimulates the response it deserves for this simple reason. I have found that whether I relax security for a given site depends upon how much I think I need access to the site. The intrusion, therefore, becomes an exchange for information. It is not a free choice. This is extortion at a site such as BBC Online and will undoubtedly appeal to a growing number of very large information providers of this and other kinds.

My Proxomitron filter replaces code="Measure.class" with nocode="Measure.class" The other measure I took was to find measure.class on my computer and delete it. Then to make sure that it can't install again in the future, I placed a blank text file in its place and set the blank file to read-only.

I have complained to BBC. Here is my feedback, fwiw. I can hardly contain my outrage at the intrusion you visit upon anyone who dares to visit your homepage without protection. You can find my comments here: http://kalsey.com/blog/2002/11/java_spyware.stm The simple fact that a visitor allows java applets to run may be foolish, more likely completely naive as to the potential consequences. But the mistake most unsuspecting visitors make is not to suspect that their privacy (as distinct from their personal identity) will be compromised by a corporation they hold in high regard. Spare me the usual disclaimers about personally identifiable information. What you are doing is wrong. It is immoral. If you doubt this, consult someone who can advise you on these matters. ... And you might consider offering your feedback users the courtesy of a preview without the demographic probes. It is an insult to suggest, as your inappropriate form suggests, that the relevance of what a reader has to say is to be judged, analysed and tallied according to sex and age, as though everything you hear from everyone has some analytical value surpassing the importance of the feedback itself. Maybe it's time the design of your site were vetted by someone with a little common sense.

The thing is, a Web site tracking you as you move about their site is understandable. You are using their resource and they have the right to learn how you use it. The problem I have with RedSheriff is twofold. First, the data is being recorded abd managed by a third party across multiple sites. Second, they are doing it by installing software on my machine. I don't know the security implications of this software, and I haven't been given the option of inspecting the software to ensure it's stable and won't crash my machine.

My last post crossed with your previous. I agree with your latest, however, so far as it goes. I notice that your blog was picked up here by someone who is a good deal more equivocal, so far as privacy is concerned. http://www.inluminent.com/weblog/archives/defeating_tracking_software_redsherrif.php I also noticed that there is another class to block: sleepthread.class. It seems to have been deposited during the same visit and apparently goes back to RedSheriff by an earlier name (IMR). By "so far as it goes" I mean this. It has now been accepted that the user is entitled to reject a cookie if s/he chooses, though it was something of a struggle. There are those (like the blogger mentioned above) who seem to think privacy is not only a lost cause but a lost or nonexistant right, those whose sensitivity to issues of privacy is predicated upon the benefits to Internet commerce. The RedSheriff java applet does much more than most cookies, I think, though (perhaps) less in respect of user identification (uid), since it may identify a visitor only in relation to the site in question. A big maybe, I'm afraid, and always subject to change. Therefore, I think that any privacy advocate would rightly be concerned not only about system security but also about user choice, without duress. Allow me to rephrase your statement this way for consideration. "The problem is twofold. First, the data is being recorded and managed by a third party across multiple sites. Second, I haven't been given the option of rejecting the software, either to ensure my privacy or the integrity of my system."

I'll follow up on this point. Privacy, online, or offline, is largely a falsehood. It's a feeling that one is able to create around themselves, whether real or imagined. We don't have any privacy anymore... why, you might ask? It's largely our own faults, because we, as a community, are almost always trying to find out more about others... Think about it. From the town gossip that your mom will tell some things, but not others... to the Inquirer... we all want to know something about someone else. It's human nature... That's not the complete argument, but keep following it in your own brain, and you'll come to the conclusion that I have, and that's that we have no real privacy anymore. Do I think that's right? no. Do I think we can fix that? not really. "The only secrets you have are those that you've told to no body else."

None of the class files mentioned above are on my machine. A trace file "plugin131_02.trace" is installed/updated when I visit a site that redsheriff is "tracking". I deleted the contents of this file and set it to read only but when I visit the redsheriff site to test the file attributes are changed and the origional contents are back with "record sent". What am I missing?

I've discovered recently that FirstDirect Bank also uses Red Sherriff to send some sort of data back to them (see http://www.firstdirect.com/legals/fs_privacy_cont.html). This page says that '...information cannot be used for marketing on an individual basis', but how do I know that?? I'm doing my best to find the Proxomitron filter that defeats this intrusive app., but can't seem to track down the source. Anyone got any directions for me, please?

Using Ad-Aware 6.0, I found three RedSherrif cookies on my drive, but none of the files mentioned above shows up in a search of the drive (measure.class; sleepthread.class; plugin131_02.trace). It's worth mentioning that I use IE 5.5 and that when I activate my Anonymizer protection, I can search Google for anything (as normal), but an attempt to search for "RedSherrif" crashes it.... I deeply resent this arrogant invasion of my privacy, and hope someone will be able to tell me how to block it without disabling Java.

Dan
June 23, 2003 12:06 PM

After I sent the above message, I closed IE and re-searched my drive: found all three files. Is it safe to just delete them? Or, how does one replace them with blank files? Help is greatly appreciated.

Adam Kalsey
June 23, 2003 12:33 PM

I just deleted the files, and created empty text files with the same names. You should be able to do that with notepad or any other text editor. Then make sure you set the files to be read-only so that IE doesn't replace the blank files with the classes.

It's a Java applet, so it goes wherever your browser sticks those. It depends on the browser.

re redsheriff i discovered redsheriff only bychance activating jre debug screen and then searching, found all your good comments. well folks - another answer is to use your firewall to block their servers that receive and record your interesting profile and habits. The offending web page source should contain the server address (in my case server-au.imrworldwide.com). If your firewall needs the IP address download gtwhois www.geektools.com & it will tell you.

I emailed redsheriff and wanted them outta my computer, this is their reply. RedSheriff Measurement relies upon information sent to our global data nodes. If you do not wish to participate in this anonymous data collection, please follow the below instructions: If you are using a Windows NT / 2000 / XP machine, your hosts file will most likely be located in the following path: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts For Windows 95 and 98, your hosts file will most likely be located in the following path: c:\windows\hosts You need to edit the aforementioned file using a text editor (e.g:notepad.exe) and add the following lines: server-au.imrworldwide.com localhost server-uk.imrworldwide.com localhost server-dk.imrworldwide.com localhost server-fi.imrworldwide.com localhost server-us.imrworldwide.com localhost server-nz.imrworldwide.com localhost server-sg.imrworldwide.com localhost server-se.imrworldwide.com localhost server-no.imrworldwide.com localhost server-pl.imrworldwide.com localhost server-de.imrworldwide.com localhost server-by.imrworldwide.com localhost server-ee.imrworldwide.com localhost server-lv.imrworldwide.com localhost server-lt.imrworldwide.com localhost server-ru.imrworldwide.com localhost server-ua.imrworldwide.com localhost server-jp.imrworldwide.com localhost server-it.imrworldwide.com localhost server-br.imrworldwide.com localhost telstra.imrworldwide.com localhost ninemsn.imrworldwide.com localhost secure-au.imrworldwide.com localhost secure-us.imrworldwide.com localhost secure-uk.imrworldwide.com localhost secure-jp.imrworldwide.com localhost Adding the above lines will redirect all traffic collected by RedSheriff to your own PC, thus excluding you from RedSheriff data collection.

Thanks Capt Russell. Now if only I can get the damn thing to not load in the fist place. It's not the smallest memory footprint you know. I can always tell when it loads because this machine crawls. It's not fair that they should destroy my system's performance for their own needs. That's like if the road construction crew dumped huge loads of materials on our cars or in our trucks and told us that as long as we were driving down the road they were working on we'd have to carry thier loads for them. I shouldn't be forced to upgrade this computer because some site wants to run demographic reconaissance on my machine. Is there a simple way to prevent the app from even loading? On a related note, is there a way to keep the "install gator" or "install comet cursor" from popping up? I'm glad I get the pop-up versus the auto-install, but I'd like to never ever get even the request again. I'll post again if I figure it out elsewhere.

re. redsherrif. I have been reading severel solutions to the problem "redsherrif" I use with succes the little program IE-SPYAD. It works by double-clicking a .REG file , uninstall double-clicking unistall REG FILE. But read and try for yourself. All I can say is that it works 100% percent. Download here http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/main.htm English Introduction http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/res/ie-spyad.txt the program is freeware/donationware. In my case redsherrif is history. Peter - Denmark

RMiller
October 10, 2003 6:56 PM

Ripoff (DK) is right about ie-spyad--if redsherrif is the main problem, you can get the same effect by adding the following host to the Restricted zone in ie (and then setting the security on Restricted zone as high as it will go in all categories): *.imrworldwide.com That will prevent them from putting cookies, java classes, or anything else on your machine again. It won't remove anything that's already there, though.

You guys should NOT believe everything you read on the web. This is the most ridicolous I've ever heard! What is wrong with collecting info about how visitors uses your own website? All the data collected contains nothing you want to hide. I believe it is every website owner's right to get info on how their site is being used. Furthermore, all the data is collected by a machine. Redsherrif does not have 10.000 geeks who log all the data manually. Therefore none of your data will ever be read by a real person - it is just one dataset out of thousands collected, all which are compiled into statistics. I admire people that fights for protecting people's privacy, but this particular case is based upon the lack of knowledge and exaggerated personal proteciton. This also is known as "paranoia"... Regards, Yan Kiowski, dr.ing. information technology (my thesis which gave me my doctor's degree, discussed security and privacy on the web)

Adam Kalsey
October 18, 2003 10:59 PM

The objection is not that the site is tracking the user's visits. The problem is that they are installing software on your computer without your knowledge. The problem is that the site isn't tracking you, a third party is. They are tracking you across multiple sites, aggregating, and selling that data. And you can't opt out. The information about what I do online is valuable. And it belongs to me, not RedSheriff. It is mine to choose who I want to share it with. I didn't choose to share it with RedSheriff. They simply took it without providing me with any consideration in return. With direct mail, telemarketing, surveys, and grocery store discount cards you can choose not to participate. RedSherrif doesn't offer that choice. And since your comments are predicated on the fact that your doctoral thesis was on the subject of online privacy, I'd like to point out that I find it curious that you hold a Ph.D. in information technology yet Google doesn't return a single result for your name.

In looking at some of their code I found... codebase="server-au.imrworldwide.com" I run my own DNS server as a proxy server to my ISP's DNS servers. I can simply add a domain of "imrworldwide.com" with no hosts and it will short circuit any connection attempt to them. This is easier and more comprehesive than using the "hosts" file trick.

Matthew Donald
August 19, 2004 11:29 AM

As a former Technical Director of IMR Worldwide (later named Redsheriff) and one of the authors of the Measure java class, I think I can speak with some authority about what this code does. It adds 1 to a counter. Thats it. It doesn't track you beyond recognising you if you visit a website a subsequent time. It doesn't look at your web surfing habits. Its not particularly intersested in you as an individual at all. What the Measure class (and the Redmeasure product from Redsheriff) does do is track aggregate stats for a web site. There are reports outlining total number of page views, number of vistors, entry and exit pages, reach, country of origion and so on. There are no reports on which sites Jenny Bloggs visited, just reports on the total visitors to a site. The Measure class is not spyware.

Dave Clayton
September 12, 2004 12:35 AM

Matthew, Once again, the outrage felt by posters here and myself is not specifically what this software does with information it collects, but the fact it runs without asking the user - in fact runs at a regular interval regardless of what the user is doing. As a computer programmer myself I can not fathom how anybody could possibly write software that installs itself secretly and be happy there's nothing dodgy about it. "It's ok, this man just went round the back of my house and let himself in the back door, but he's not harmless, so it's fine!" Whatever, I hope the money was worth it.

October 11, 2004 9:44 PM

I find it ridiculous that some of you are 'outraged' at this 'arrogant' 'intrusion' in the collecting of anonymous data. Do you realise what these metrics are routinely used for? To improve your future experience of the site you are visiting. Someone previously pointed out - this is someone's resource that they have made available - often for free. Surely then it's their prerogative to collect anonymous data on the use of their resource? It *is* anonymous - yours is one of hundreds of thousands of personally unidentifiable records from which the authors of the site can pinpoint what may be confusing to users, and how things can be improved. If you don't like the way they're using their own property you don't have to go back. If I owned such a site I think my first thought would be akin to 'good riddance'. *So what you are really affronted by is that the owners of a resource, that they have made available to you and that you obviously derive value from, have then gone on to invest money and time in trying to improve the experience for you next time you visit.* The b@stards! String 'em up I say! Oh, that's not what you're really upset by is it... the biggest complaint about redsherrif seems to be the dynamic loading and running of code on your computer via a web page - fact: *all Java Applets do this - it's what they're for.* For that matter, that's exactly what Shockwave Flash does, and activeX and JavaScript and others. So if you have issues with this behaviour in redsherrif you should disable all these things. Java and Shockwave Flash, however, are sandboxed - this means that *they are incapable of doing anything to compromise your system*, (unless, in Java's case, you explicitly agree to let them do it) or accessing data you haven't explicitly given them access to, just like JavaScript. If Java Applets crash - they only crash themselves, they don't have access to any data you haven't given to the page that contains them and they can only be run by the page that contains them which means that if you have entered your credit-card number into a page and an applet is capable of reading it - that applet is as trusted and trustworthy as the page you have made a conscious decision to trust, just like JavaScript. Nothing to worry about - if you trust the source. Some of you seem to be perfectly blasé about people and sites other than redsherrif loading and running Java Applets on your machine without your consent ("please tell me how to disable redsherrif without having to disable Java!") but you've heard that redsherrif is 'spyware' and immediately demonise it. So, what have we learned? Java is not JavaScript, but Java has the same exploitability as JavaScript and Flash (unless you have explicitly agreed otherwise). So, if Java worries you - so should JavaScript and Flash. You should turn them all off... and good luck. On a side note: I can't believe that some of you are willing to execute potentially lethal .REG files on your computer to remove a few totally benign java classes. It's like approaching a guy on the street selling pills, asking them for some medication because you sneeze once or twice every few days and blithely taking the pills without question. Is that rational behaviour? Only if you trust the source *absolutely*. The sneeze isn't really a problem - the pill might kill you. It would be the work of a few minutes to whip up a .REG file that would irrevocably destroy your computer setup, I would spend more time thinking on that, perhaps? If you are really concerned about online security and privacy then you will have a firewall and know how to use it - the best way to opt-out of the redsherrif data collection is to block their domains - a single entry... but I didn't need to tell you that, right? If you want to spend your time making meaningless gestures in the name of paranoia, be my guest... I for one have better things to do with my time.

Moore
November 17, 2004 8:05 PM

Good topic.. I have been blocking Red Sherrif worldwide for a while now , there are a lot worse things to be worried about , but still something worth avoiding. To Quote farmerbri : "If you are really concerned about online security and privacy then you will have a firewall and know how to use it...the best way to opt-out of the redsherrif data collection is to block their domains - a single entry" Which single entry would that be ? I have a firewall and there is lot more than just a single IP range to block , as well a large range of domains to be blocking in a Hosts file. Of course if you have something like Outpost firewall or some type of adfiltering program you can disable java applets from running altogether. The IESpyad .REG file is from a completly trustworthy source and has been used and recommended for many years on most sane security forums , it's hardly a serious risk to use. Also the post above which displays the format for effectively blocking RedSherrif in a Hosts file is not correct. since it was originally supllied by RedSherrif that may be the reason why it's incorrect. The Host file entries should actually be listed with localhost first : 127.0.0.1 server-au.imrworldwide.com A great Hosts file for blocking dangerous spyware can be found here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm There was a good discussion a while back on Spyware info on preventing RedSherrif connecting to your computer : http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2239 And really it's not about being paranoid , I will block anything I want during my internet travels , since I own my computer and pay for my internet connection , it is therefore my choice who I allow to connect to me. :) cya

websites do *lots* of things without notifying you... Just because a web page doesn't notify you each time it wants to change an image on a roll-over (by running code you haven't installed and didn't approve blah blah blah...) doesn't mean there's something sinister about the roll-over. There's an enormous amount of stuff going on inside your computer that you will never know about - and even on a clean install some of those things are considerably more sinister then what redSherrif does...

I dont care what they want to collect I dont want to pay for it and I dont care how little it is. It is like going to someones buisness office and while there they go through my pockets and have a key cut for the backdoor of my house then go there and sent letters back to them using my stamps.

Dear People, Might I suggest that you all have a look at EC Directive 2002/58/EC paying particular attention to recitals 17, 24, and 25 (The paragraphs of the Preamble to the Directive itself) and then have a look at Article 5. Directive 2002/58/EC makes the deployment of spyware, cookies and anything else totally unauthorised if your fully informed consent is not obtained. Then have a look at section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and sections 3 & 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. These make the deployment of cookies and interception of traffic data a criminal offence, since such deployment and interception is clearly unauthorised. I hope that this helps.
