What are Keyloggers

Submitted by Srikanth on Friday, 7 November 200837 Comments

Keystroke loggers are stealth software that sits between keyboard hardware and the operating system, so that they can record every key stroke.

There are two types of keystroke loggers:

1. Software based and
2. Hardware based.

Spy ware: Spector (www.spector.com)

  • Spector is a spy ware and it will record everything anyone does on the internet.
  • Spector automatically takes hundreds of snapshots every hour, very much like a surveillance camera. With spector, you will be able to see exactly what your surveillance targets have been doing online and offline.
  • Spector works by taking a snapshot of whatever is on your computer screen and saves it away in a hidden location on your computer’s hard drive.

Hacking Tool: eBlaster (www.spector.com)

  • eBlaster lets you know EXACTLY what your surveillance targets are doing on the internet even if you are thousands of miles away.
  • eBlaster records their emails, chats, instant messages, websites visited and keystrokes typed and then automatically sends this recorded information to your own email address.
  • Within seconds of them sending or receiving an email, you will receive your own copy of that email.

Hacking Tool: (Hardware Keylogger) (www.keyghost.com)


  • eBlaster lets you know EXACTLY what your surveillance targets are doing on the internet even if you are thousands of miles away.
  • eBlaster records their emails, chats, instant messages, websites visited and keystrokes typed and then automatically sends this recorded information to your own email address.
  • Within seconds of them sending or receiving an email, you will receive your own copy of that email.

Hacking Tool: (Hardware Keylogger)

  • The Hardware Key Logger is a tiny hardware device that can be attached in between a keyboard and a computer.
  • It keeps a record of all key strokes typed on the keyboard. The recording process is totally transparent to the end user.

    Hi Srikanth, you are doing a good job. I have 1 question for you.
    Remote keylogger / Super Keylogger which you described earlier in many posts have less chances to work perfectly when the intended user is gonna use a good ANTIVIRUS version with all updates and vulnerability removed.

    Isnt?

    In this case , how can we able to hack that pc ? (ie.,while Superkeyloggers fail )

    Hope you have a solution. If not its ok :) Everyone here are learning :)

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ blaster

    You r right! All keyloggers are none other than spywares..

    So almost all the keyloggers are lokely to be caught by AV.

    For this hardware keyloggers can be used(if u have physical access to the pc)….

    Hello, I need help, I have been reading the comments and I still feel that I need more info. I would like to send my Fiance a Keylogger on his laptop. I would like to send it to him via email.

    My reason? we are getting married soon, and I have found out he has a secret email address and has be visiting the adultfriendfinder site. I dont care that he has been there, sure I was mad at first, but he said he is NOT talking with women on there, and strickly watching videos.

    I need to be sure he is truthful..I love him and want to marry him, but if he is actually hooking up with women ( gut feeling ) I cant be with him… please help…

    I need to find a keylogger that I can send him via email..

    Anyone want to help a really nice HONEST girl? I signed up for crackpal, but now im nervous about it…it looks like a scam

    Much thanks in advance :)

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Wool over eyes

    You can use superkeylogger for this purpose!

    spector and eblastor serials are working only for 1 day..after that the license is being cancelled..what to do…

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ anonymous

    It’s easy to execute a .html file.

    Just use the following command

    system(“filename.htm”); OR

    system(“filename.html”);

  • Karan said:

    I have norton 2008. It is not leting me install keylogger.Is it harmful for my computer.Should i turn of norton and install it.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Karan

    Since keyloggers are spywares it is common for antivirus to block it. If you are just installing a keylogger for testing purpose, the you can temporarily disable the antivirus. After testing remove the keylogger.

    Hi,

    I noticed you mentioned you are able to use a superkeylogger to send it to someone in an email. I have downloaded a number of programmes from the net, none of which are allowing me to do so as they do not have the facility.

    Can you please suggest an appropriate programme which will do this job which is free to try. Also is it possible you can briefly describe how to use it in this way.

  • Sana said:

    I have the keylogger in exe file …………… but how can i trick them to accept and run the exe file as some users dont run them for keyloggers to be installed……… any idea????

    How can i disguise an exe file as a harmless jpg or movie file.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ Sana

    You can surely change the icon of the exe file to make it look like a mpeg(movie file). To change the icon of the exe file, please refer the following post…

  • Narendran said:

    Where can I get the keywords and other formats for creating Batch files.
    Like How to execute a file using batch file and how to create autorun file to invoke that batch file.. Please help me Sri na..

  • ModestINK said:

    Anonymous,
    keyloggers are highly impossible to send via mail considering most mail webclients like gmail, hotmail, yahoo will never let you attach a .exe file to your mail. And if you think you’ll be able to disguise it you’re wrong whatever media you’re combining your .exe with it’ll come out .exe the best you can do is… well you can’t change that. im not sure what narendran is trying to say. basicly what im getting from is that he wants to write his own keylogger with batch files.. which is impossible, learn C++ or VB. if you want you use your keylogger with a friend, fiance whatever best bet is to quickly install it by physical access.

  • ravi said:

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ ravi

    You can directly attact the keylogger to email as an attachment OR

    hi sri………
    i hv lost , or someone hacks my yahoo id , so i cant access it plz help me plz
    send me email on
    [email protected]

  • aj said:

    hi sri!!!
    as the guy said in one of the earlier posts.. that yahoo, gmail etc. sites do not allow us to attach .exe files.. so how would we be able to attach and send them to the victim…??
    If we change the extension of the file… then the file won’t work after receiving by the victim….

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ aj

    You’ll have to upload the file to a free FTP account and send the download link to the victim via email. OR you can also upload the file to rapidshare and send it’s link to the victim via email.

  • King said:

    Srikanth, you are a hero sir. thank you. your site has been instantly added to the favorites list and i feel that i will spend many hours learning the trade.

    i was wondering if maybe you could elaborate on the rapidshare and how it all works, or perhaps direct me to a preexisting article.

    thanx again

    hi srikanth…suppose others installed a keyloggerin our pc with out our permission.
    how can we find if keylogger is working in our pc without using antikeylogger software.

  • Srikanth (author) said:

    @ arun

    You can find the presence of keylogger by scanning your PC using an antispyware.
