My Computer
The next thing that I noted while browsing the Mojo Desktop was the "My Computer" folder. If you look in the picture, you can see that the main drive of this operating system is not "Local Disk C" or you other onboard hard drives; it is, in fact, "Rally 2". When you are using the Mojo Desktop, you are completely isolated from the host system. This in itself is a great security feature and one of the more important ones. The isolation implies that any operation such as surfing the web, chatting, typing is not recorded on the host system.
Security of MojoPac
To test this I decided to use key logger programs. In general, key loggers are programs that used to record keyboard keystrokes. Key loggers also have the ability of recording which programs are opened as well as taking screen shots at set intervals. The majority of key loggers also have the ability hide themselves from the users making them virtually undetectable thus making them a considerable security thereat. Be happy that MojoPac render key loggers ineffective. All the key loggers that were tested were unable to detect keystrokes while running Mojo Desktop.
The following key loggers were used:
- Personal Inspector
- Advanced Mach 7
- Blazen Keys Keylogger 2008
- Ardamax 2.9
Other Programs
Following the reasoning behind a portable computing environment, a couple of programs used by everyday people to see if they can actually run.
The following programs were installed:
- Microsoft Office 2007
- Trillian Basic
- k-lite codec pack
No problems were encountered during the installation of these programs as well as while running them. Watching videos was also not a problem.
