Installing & Running Detekt: My Experience

Detekt is a software program that is designed to detect surveillance and illegal hacking of a computer. It has been recommended by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Amnesty International, the Privacy International, and other organizations. I attempted to download the software from the original site where it was released in November 2014. The site appears to have been blocked. I tried a number of other sites, and the links had expired or it gave me the 404 code – the web page you are looking for cannot be found. I found a recent Version 2.0 on github.com, but I don't know the status. Upon downloading and installing this software, it was not able to successfully run it after several tries. On the second effort, it is apparent that my computer is being actively hacked to block the scan.
