U.GG desktop app scans your entire home network every 10-20 seconds
Hey everyone, wanted to give you guys a warning about something I found today.
I was cleaning up my PC and had Sysmon running (kernel-level monitoring tool from Microsoft Sysinternals that logs all network connections and process activity).
Turns out U.GG desktop app is scanning your entire home network every 10-20 seconds. Not just connecting to their own servers for game data, it's actively reaching out to every device on your local network. My router, my NAS, my TV, phones of people in my house, literally everything connected to my WiFi.
A League overlay app has zero reason to know what devices are on your home network. This is most likely device fingerprinting for analytics.
You can't see this in Task Manager or with normal tools. You need kernel-level monitoring to catch this. I'm willing to bet 99% of people running U.GG have no idea this is happening.
If anyone wants proof or more details I can share the Sysmon logs.
