a google search will give you many more
The most effactive and widely used way of hiding a malicious process or something like keylogger that can be used for both malicious and security purposes in to use names similar to legal processes for example svshost.exe or explorer.exe or something similar to that..... that might fool the user in thinking that it is a legit process
Now there are hardware keylogger that can be placed behind the keybord that wouldn't appear in the process list at all.
Hope this helps
--Good Luck--
Why would you want to steal information/ password from others?

There you go. He wants to know how a key logger works. Whether you believe him or not is irrelevant.Quote:

errrrrrr....................money?Quote:

As SwordFish noted they can be used for malicious purposes..........credit card numbers, banking details, identity theft etc.
If you have a user who appears to be indulging in illegal activity, violating the user policy and so on, then a keylogger might be used to investigate and confirm this.
You would generally use your security/firewall logs to check for suspicious activity before using a keylogger, as they can generate an enormous amount of data to analyse :eek:

well, if you use the search option on this forum, you will come to a keylogger i have written, it is very simple and works on XP.
It's actually still on the front page... I'll post it since it's right there:

thanks muert0, i didn't have the time to search for it on my last reply, so thanks for helping me :p
well thanx for all the replies,but ive one question though ,plz read the following carefully
__________________________
well the combination of ctrl+alt+del helps to keep the p/w safer ,well how is that possible is we are using a key logger ,it will automatically log all the jey strokes ,win't it.or is it that it only works after the computer has been logged on . iam kinda curious in this regard, if the first secniro is correct then how to take precationnary steps.
well i kow its kinda confusing but plz bear on .
um,
ok, why it is in your signature i have no idea.
but to answer your question. control+alt+delete does not stop a keylogger or anything along those lines. (i assume your talking about the promt before you can enter your username and password)
the keylogger (if active from startup [not login]) will log delete and alt and control presses. depending on settings and a whole lot of junk..... for example, some keyloggers only log letters and numbers. some dont log spaces. and all you end up with is one huge string :p
Anyways... i THINK thats what you were asking. if not try again.
CTO
if you want to be sure to have as little chance for a keylogger to do that, then you must be sure there is no service automatically starting up which might be a keylogger, so disable all services which aren't of use to you (or at least all not microsoft) unless you know what they are for..
well that answers my quiery thanks for takin that trouble.and sorry for the lisleadin post
:-p
one more question though...........
when you start uo the computer u come to a screen where the computer asks you to press ctrl+alt+del and put in yur user name and p/w .isn't it
.now my question is will the keyogger be able to log the key strokes then?if yes then how.?
as far as i think it will not be able as windows does not give access to write in the hard disk with out any autthorisation ,
we have have to be logged in for the keylogger to start ,isn't it ?
and by the way do you have any keyloggers for other os like linux , and free bsd ? coz i nvr heard of anny
iam googling it rite now .
aah found some

I could be wrong, but I think he's asking if the process could be seen in the task manager.
The answere is yes and no. Some key loggers use actuall win32 dll calls that show up in the task manager anyway. Others can actually hide from the task manager.
Hope this helps...
