1. What is a Keylogger?
A keylogger (also called as spy software) is a
small program that monitors each and every keystroke a user types on a specific
computer’s keyboard. A keylogger program can be installed just in a few seconds
and once installed you are only a step away from getting the victim’s
password.
2. How Keylogger works?
Once the keylogger is installed on a PC, it
starts operating in the background (stealth mode) and captures every keystroke
of the victim on that PC. Let’s take up a small example: The victim goes to
http://mail.yahoo.com and types his “username” and the “password” in the
respective fields to login. The keylogger silently records these keystrokes and
stores them in the logs. These logs when opened up shows the captured
“username” and “password” and will also tell you that they were typed in the
Yahoo login page. Thus the keylogger loads upon every startup, runs in the
background and captures each and every keystroke.
3. How to install the
keylogger?
A keylogger can be installed just like any other
program. Just follow the screen instructions and you’re done.
4. Do I need any special
knowledge to install and use the keylogger?
Absolutely NOT! Anyone with a basic computer
knowledge can install and use the keylogger. It requires no special
skills.
5. Once I install the
keylogger can the victim come to know about it’s presence?
No. The victim will never come to know about the
presence of the keylogger on his/her computer. This is because, once installed
the keylogger will run in total stealth mode. Unlike other programs it will
never show up in start-menu, start-up, program files, add/remove programs and
task manager. So the victim can no way identify it’s presence on his/her
PC.
6. Can I be traced back if I
install the keylogger on some other computer?
No, it’s almost impossible to trace back to you
for installing the keylogger on other’s PC.
7. Which keylogger is the
best?
Today there exists hundreds of keyloggers on the
market and most of them are no more than a scam. So I tested some of the top
keyloggers and conclude that the following is the best one.
