AN APPLICATION FOR SUPERVISING USER COMPUTER ACTIVITIES

The thesis represents the description of the application Nadzornik, its purpose is to monitor and supervise all user activities on a personal computer. Nadzornik consists of two parts. The client gathers the data on the user activity, and the administration application reviews and analysis the data sent from the client. The administration application is a major part of our solution. Main functions of the Client are: information collecting of process on the foreground; logging of keystrokes; blocking certain forbidden processes; relaying this data to a remote database; retrieving updates from the administration application; hiding from the user and preventing unauthorized closure of the client program. Main functions of the administration application are: representation of collected data (from the client) visually in controls Urnik (daily and weekly data) and Histogram (monthly data) or displayed as text inside table; data analysis (daily, weekly and monthly); remote user control (streaming the monitor, screen imaging and keyboard activity logs); user, administrator and process management and saving recent history of recently run analysis and their reopenings. Functions of the administration application are available to user by upgraded user interface, which allows us to set different color schemes and styles. First part of this dissertation describes the tools we used during creation of the application. The detailed description of the application Nadzornik is presented last. This part describes the most important programming solutions. In the last part we analyze our application and conclude the thesis with conclusions
