Problems Encountered During the Usage of Your Own Hardware Keylogger

While accessing the net you must have noticed this warning about keyloggers.

Once you are fully accustomed with the functional process of a hardware keylogger, you may try and develop your own hardware keylogger. But you must be aware about the problems that might be encountered in case of a hardware keylogger.

The hardware keylogger might damage a whole computer system and there might be numerous mal functions. To avoid these you must know the basic problems that might arise:

First and foremost, it is very important to abide by the keyboard logging details and laws that relates to the agreements and damage of hardware. The next point that must follow this is to know about the authorization of data interception owing to private and confidential data handling, password encryption, banking data revealing and correspondence of confidential reports.

The hardware keylogger has a 64 Kb of EPROM (non volatile) and once the memory gets full, the previous data will be overwritten by the new set of data. The initial memory space is used up for the “data configuration” which comprise storing last memory address references while this memory address reference is updated every 10 seconds.

The hardware keylogger must not be left open in the existing “record mode” as it will remove important old data by rewriting new data materials upon it. The data retrieval process requires a minimum of a 100 MHz Pentium processor and the original desktop keyboard must be disconnected from the machine during the transmission of data.

Last but not the least one of the most important aspect is that the size of the keylogger memory is not equal to the number of keystrokes which implies that a 64 Kb memory doesn’t necessarily refer to 64 keystrokes but the actual reality is that every key “pressing” and “releasing” requires a memory space of 3 bytes for the standard keys and 5 bytes for the extension keys on the keyboard.

Do you know that every now and then your computer is threatened by the presence of spyware in the Internet? So your machine and every other machine connected to the web network are highly prone to spyware attacks.

How often have you come across the Google alert while browsing the internet? Next time when you are online, you might find the following alert:

The keyloggers are of two types: Hardware keyloggers and Inside keyloggers. We are particularly interested here about the hardware keyloggers. The hardware keyloggers are dangerous and are the most difficult of all to trace and eradicate out of your machine. Attaining a better knowledge about the hardware keyloggers will enable a better understanding of your protection measures.

Most anti keyloggers and key scramblers fail to detect a hardware keylogger. The hardware keyloggers are the keyloggers that are situated deep into the BIOS levels, which necessarily mean the operating system level of a computer. These keyloggers are dangerous as they start functioning the moment from which a machine is turned on. Due to their presence at the OS level, they are able to reveal the BIOS passwords and even the encryption software’s.

The hardware keyloggers essentially comprise a Microcontroller and a Non volatile memory. The micro controller processes all the respective information and relates the keyboard and the computer with the interpretation of the “datastream”. The non volatile memory stores the “datastream” passed by the microcontroller.

The hardware keyloggers occupy only a minimal space in the hard disk which might be few kilo bytes to a few mega bytes. There are few different types of hardware keyloggers such as the regular hardware keylogger, wireless keylogger and firmware and keyboard overlays. Every stroke in the computer or typing a Text editor password for the retrieval of data is recorded by the hardware keylogger and this keylogger presents a typed data format to the computer in return. In order to keep your computer safe you must be well aware of this functional mode of the hardware keylogger and take suitable measures.
