"Light" Keylogger

[Kry0NiK]

Key loggers are hard to hide. If the persons are trying to obtain passwords, then a simple key logger would work. Assuming you are trying to get passwords, you would need passwords on the system to install the program. but..... if youre trying to capture, say, IM's and such, then you have to have some program that will log more than just keystrokes. Those programs are usually expensive and easy to detect for an experienced computer user. If the person isnt an experienced user, then yeah you might be able to hide it from them. But the fundamental question is why go through all that trouble.

Whichever light or even purchased keylogger you use, be sure to try the major apps on a machine with it. It might make itself known as a pest.

Spector used to crash Outlook Express on a few machines, for example. I've seen some loggers crap out IM apps and even dialog boxes in programs.

Also, be sure you can access the resident anti-spyware app and choose to have it always ignore the keylogger you use!

If a forum gets off track but is still worth following, we can always split it into a new thread.

so to get back to the original question, anyone familiar with a "light" software keystroke logger?

I have an idea. Lets let the moderators of this forum MODERATE the forum and decide when to get a subject back on track. That is the beauty of this forum...one thread many random thoughts. If you have a question about "light" key loggers, ask it don't try and point the conversation in the direction you want. I may be misreading your intent on the first part of the post but it sounds like you are being a dipshit.

Im not sure about printers, but I know that photocopier (I believe you call them xerox machines), now have built in memory to store what has been photocopied. I think this gerenally applies to the big machines medium to large companies have. I know this because I know someone who serivices these machines and they can check to make sure no one has sat on it and photocopied....yes well...

So apparently its built into the system menu for servicing, so maybe it will start to appear on printers in the future? I imagine so.

[astcell]

Do they make the keylogger equivalent of something for printers? Just take the device home and print whatever print jobs passed through it?

If your good enough you could write some kind of software to do that type of work which is even less noticable but I know i'm no where near that good.

Often times it isn't about skillz, but about time. I don't even have the time to do the things I need to do, let alone the things I want to do.

usb hardware keylogger, woot.

[Grifter]

Also be aware that more and more people are starting to use usb keyboards, ps2 hardware will not be very useful for that. lol

Good call.

You could always grab a hardware keylogger.. they cost a bit but you won't have to worrry about AV picking them up.

Assuming he has physical access to the machine. But if he knew the name of the old keylogger I'm sure someone could dig it up.
