Publisher's description of SurfRecon Pro Tools

From SurfRecon:

SurfRecon is a rapid-image-analysis tool that you can use to quick and discreetly scan almost any computer - Windows, Macintosh, or Linux computer systems - for pornographic content. The application will fit on and can be run from a 1GB or larger thumb drive, making it highly mobile and easy to use. The value of SurfRecon is that it allows you to actively protect computer systems by scanning, identifying, and reviewing any pornographic content found on a suspect computer system. SurfRecon leverages the largest image-hash database, the IFID, with over 100 million image hashes in order to quickly identify and categorize any pornography discovered.

SurfRecon also includes a number of safety tools to limit an individual's exposure to dark and often-disturbing pornographic content, making it an excellent tool in corporate environments for those individuals who are tasked with reviewing suspect computer systems. You can only scan a set of pre-installed images. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

"I had a filter before but some porn garbage still got bypass them. This tool is really cool and powerful; it found so much hidden crap in a few seconds. Gotta love the feeling having a clean computer again."

"Cool porn detection tool"

by Jeremiah_B on July 25, 2008

Pros: I didn't expect much but I was very pleasantly surprised. From what I have read, this is a home version of a tool used by Police to find porn on sex-offenders computers. it does a very impressive job scanning all the images on my computer, categorizing the images that are suspected pornography, and then letting me review all the content.
from what I have gathered, unlike other software, this doesn't look for flesh tone in images (because we all know that doesn't work) it just looks to see if any images from playboy.com, sex.com, hustler.com etc. are on your computer. These guys keep a database of all the images that get posted to over a million porn websites, that way if any of the images show up on your computer, you will know.

Cons: the software can be a little slow. I found that if you copy it form the thumb drive to the desktop it runs a lot faster.
Sometimes I get safe images in the sexual category. apparently that is because those safe images were on a porn site somewhere. At least I know what the kids are looking at.
last of all, I wish it were cheaper. I guess that is the price you pay for law enforcement grade software. All I can say is that my kids think twice about bypassing our filter because they know I can use SurfRecon to see what they have been looking at... Worth every penny.
