Project 2-2Download
Keylogger, you will be downloading this from download.com. Install it and click "OK" as the password is already written for the trail version
In this practical, i am going to understand how a
keylogger works. There are 2 type of
keylogger, hardware and software.
Keylogger works by recording keystrokes from your keyboard. For now, i will try out the software
keylogger.
"Tick", always run to ignore the start time of application. Run the keylogger by clicking "Active/Start".
At this moment the keylogger will start to cloak itself from being seen. Anything i typed out will be recorded in the software keylogger log. Before viewing the log, deactivate the keylooger software first. Click "View your logs", as i typed a random e-mail, that e-mail is then viewed in the keylogger log. Actually i typed out a fake e-mail and a fake password, the password is not shown as i am using a trail version. The trail version only let us record a short number of letters, in-order to view every word typed out is to get the full version or find another source.
*NOTE*
Keylogger hides itself once it's on active mode.
Once keylogger application is open, it will then be seen in the task manager.
Try not to type sensitive information inside unkown keylogger software, you would not know whether it is connected through the web.
Below: A list that show the keylogger log, of what i have typed.
Below: show that the keylogger software, hide itself away from the task manager.
