Experienced players in online games know what a styler is, how not to catch it, and even how to create it. However, the creation and distribution is punishable by law, so it is better not to do this. So what is a styler? This is a program code that is used to steal passwords and other data from a computer. Previously, data was sent to a sniffer, but now codes are actively spread across the Internet that send stolen mail.
About the stylers
In most cases, sump players are subject to stillers. What is a stiller, it has already been said, but how is the process itself? First of all, a person creates code in a programming language, then uses the knowledge of cryptography and hides the styler so that it is not found by antiviruses. It can be everywhere, even in the most ordinary picture! Consider the example on the multiplayer version of the game GTA San-Andreas.
For example, the player is bored with the standard models in the game, he decides to replace them with more beautiful ones. Further, the player in the search engine drives his request, and options are shown to him. These can be forums and famous sites. You shouldn’t download anything from the forums, as there is no trust in users there. You do not know them, respectively, which file they will give you for downloading, too.
The same situation with sites where they provide for downloading various models. Of course, there are sites that have earned trust, but there you have to be careful. It is better to check the file before downloading through the VirusTotal service. But most of all, stylers “sew” into cleo-scripts. There are a lot of players who use cheat programs, all of them use cleo. But what’s most important, their antiviruses define it as a virus, since this is a cheat. It turns out that you can’t find out in any way what lies in the cleo script. So, we conclude that they are definitely not worth downloading.
How to protect yourself
First you need to put a good antivirus, because it somehow protects. Without antivirus, you will "catch" everything in a row. They often write on the Internet what a styler is and how to create it; they even provide programs for creating them. But often the programs do not work, and they themselves have a styler. Each downloaded file must be checked in order not to lose its data. There are also programs that remove the stiller from the computer. It is recommended that you also scan your PC for viruses using special utilities, for example, DrWeb Cure It.
About use
On the Web you can find a lot of information about what a styler is and how to use it. Remember that they are created for a reason, not for fun. Their main goal is to extract useful information from the victim's computer for subsequent sale. For example, if you open online stores of SAMP accounts, you will notice that most of the accounts were obtained using the styler. Creating and using it is definitely not worth it, as it is a criminal liability! There are also keyloggers, they appeared before the stylers. The task of keyloggers is to intercept text that was written from the keyboard. Although they are outdated, they still use them now.
What is a stiller, found out. Is there any benefit from it? Definitely not. You need to beware of this, protect your computer, do not download files from unknown sources.
