What Is CrowdInspect?

CrowdInspect is a free community tool for Microsoft Windows systems that helps alert you to the presence of potential malware on your network. It is a host-based process inspection tool utilizing multiple sources of information to detect untrusted or malicious process and network-active applications.  Beyond simple network connections, CrowdInspect associates the connection entry with the process that is responsible for that activity.  CrowdInspect captures process name, the entry’s process ID number, local port, local IP address, remote port, remote IP address and reverse resolved DNS name of the remote IP address.

CrowdInspect records details of any entry that is associated with a remote IP address and maintains a chronological list of those accessed.  You may click the “Live/History” toolbar button to switch between the regular live process window and the network history list window.

THERE IS NO OPT-OUT OPTION AVAILABLE FOR THE INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE EXPRESSED IN THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN UNINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIED FEATURES. BY INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE AND ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION, USE, COPYING, BACKUP, AND STORAGE BY COMPANY, ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES, OF CERTAIN DATA TRANSMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE’S USE.

4.1  WHAT INFORMATION DOES CROWDINSPECT COLLECT AND TRANSMIT TO COMPANY OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES?

CrowdInspect utilizes Company’s and several third party sources of information to determine the reputation of suspected malicious processes by using the file information and the reputation of the domain name to which it is connecting.  For each entry discovered and transmitted by CrowdInspect, the Software collects and transmits — and Company may retain and use — the full directory, file name, SHA256 hash, /create/ timestamp of the above; /last accessed/ timestamp; /last write/ timestamp; digital signature information, as well as your connection information.  Third party sources that are queried to determine the reputation of the domain name receive, and may retain and use, file hash and domain name information.  If enabled, the “unknown file upload” feature will share process-related executable files with a third party threat analyzer, Hybrid Analysis, which makes the file metadata publicly available and allows Hybrid Analysis partners to download the files.  Prior to using the “unknown file upload” feature, it is important to consider whether process-related executables running on your machine may include confidential information, such as that sometimes found in custom software.

The data collected and transmitted may change together with changes to the Software’s features, functionality, and user interface, but will not materially vary in kind from the types of information described above without an update to this Agreement.  Should the Company significantly change or amend these terms from time to time, it will notify you, either through the user interface, in an email notification, or through other reasonable means, including through the Company’s website. Your use of the Software after the date the change becomes effective will be your consent to the changed terms.  If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Software.

5.  Term and Termination.

This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate this License at any time by destroying all copies of Software including any documentation. This License will terminate immediately without notice from Company if You fail to comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination, You must destroy all copies of Software.

6.  Import Regulation and Export Control.

The Software, including technical data, is subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.  You agree to comply strictly with all such regulations and acknowledges that You have the responsibility to obtain licenses to export, re-export, or import Software.

7.  Governing Law.

This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America, as if performed wholly within the state and without giving effect to the principles of conflict of law. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this License shall remain in full force and effect. This License constitutes the entire License between the parties with respect to the use of the Software.

Instead, all you need to do to remove it is to move it to the Recycle Bin and empty the Recycle Bin or delete it. You may also remove the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crowdstrike\CROWDINSPECT\” registry branch using Regedit or a similar tool.
