I have seen a couple of fairly nice solutions, and lots of really
awful ones.  Generally speaking, the awful ones try to go to great
lengths to be sneaky and hide files or other data in places in your
computer they shouldn't be messing with.

Its worth pointing out that most hacker-types know about 'fs_usage' -
there's little "hiding" that your app can do without being seen by those
who want to know.

fs_usage.1.html

Very good point, and for those who don't know about fs_usage, Instrument (known by all developers) provide a similar facility.


I really don't like softwares that write random files where it should not.
