Remote Access Monitor Update

Thursday, 3rd June 2010
A little while ago I created an open-source application that monitors your process list and pops up to let you know if someone is trying to sneak onto your machine, for example using remote desktop. Essentially, if another user spawns a process on your machine, you'll find out about it!
Rather pleasingly, it has received over 1,200 downloads since it was created.
The application is written in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) using XAML and C#. It has some funky features that you may find useful in similar projects such as a minimize-to-tray feature and a run-animated-gif-in-WPF feature - which may well be useful if you need to do this kind of thing in your application. The code is open-source so you can view and download all of the code to see how it all works.
You can view the project on the Codeplex Remote Access Monitor Page.
