Important Notice: process-hacker.net is an independently operated, fan-made informational resource.

Website Disclaimer

process-hacker.net is an independent, fan-created website that provides information, guides, and download links related to Process Hacker, a free and open-source system monitoring tool. This website exists to help users discover, download, and learn how to use Process Hacker effectively.

We are not the official website for Process Hacker. The official project was originally hosted on SourceForge by developer wj32 and has since been rebranded as System Informer. Our site is a third-party resource built by fans of the software who want to make it easier for people to find accurate information about this tool.

Use of any software names, version numbers, or feature descriptions on this site is strictly for identification and informational purposes. It does not imply any form of endorsement, partnership, or official relationship with the developers.

No Affiliation or Association

process-hacker.net is independently operated and is NOT the official website for Process Hacker or System Informer.

We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of the Process Hacker development team, wj32, or any contributor to the project. Any information about the software published here has been gathered from publicly available sources including the official SourceForge page, GitHub repository, documentation, community forums, and user discussions.

For official support, bug reports, feature requests, or developer inquiries, please visit the official Process Hacker project page or the System Informer GitHub repository.

Download & File Hosting Disclaimer

We do not host Process Hacker installation files, binaries, or archives on our own servers. All download links on this website point directly to the original distribution sources:

  • The official SourceForge project page
  • The GitHub releases page for System Informer (the successor project)
  • Other legitimate, original distribution channels maintained by the developers

We make absolutely no modifications, alterations, repackaging, or redistribution of any software files. What you download comes directly from the source the developers have chosen to distribute through.

Because these files are hosted on external servers outside our control, we cannot guarantee their availability at all times. Download links may occasionally break if the developers move files, update release pages, or change their distribution method. If you encounter a broken link, please let us know through our Contact page so we can update it.

We always recommend verifying any download by checking the file hash (SHA-256) against the value published by the developers, and running a scan with your antivirus software before installation.
