Yes, that's a hello world program built in C++. If you don't trust a program, you can do a few things to test it. Run it in a virtual machine, use a program like
You must be registered to see the links
to monitor all read/write operations from the program, and block it from communicating with the Internet using a robust firewall program like
You must be registered to see the links
. Or yea just don't use it. I'll take a closer look at it again but unless a program is embedding itself in a service somehow you can usually tell if something is off monitoring processes/network traffic/read and write operations. Not saying that I've been watching this program like a hawk for anything off but considering that it's a hacking tool that basically injects itself into an .exe like many malicious tools do, it's probably gonna trigger something.
