About keyloggers

A Keylogger (KeyLogger, Key Logger, or Keystroke Logger) is a small device installed between your keyboard and your computer or a computer program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the interested person

Tipes of keyloggers:

- Hardware based: This is independent of the computer operating system, easy installation but also easy to detect (physically), expensive, for example a hardware keylogger with 512KB of memory will save keystrokes typed during four days approximately. A hardware keyloggers costs about $150. It could be found at any moment and disconnected and will only provide you with keystrokes.

-Software based: A very basic software Keylogger normally consists of two files:

-An executable file which load a DLL, sets the hook and saves keystrokes

- A Dynamic Link Library or DLL
