Is there a way to hide every key stroke on your PC? I just simply use a keylogger and it show everything including the password I entered~! HUK! Any ideal how to secure this?

Unplug the keyboard

Seriously, if you do anything to hide keystrokes you prevent applications from functioning.

firewall your pc, firewall your router, firewall your front door, and make sure you keep your system/security software upto date.

run regular scans for spyware/viruses/root kits and make sure you filter netbios and MS RPC ports if you dont want others to access your windows network from accross the internet.

A keylogger simply shows you the messages that your computer receives from you keyboard -- there's nothing you can do about that, because, at some level, you need to type a password.

You can buy a smart card, or retinal scan device if it really bothers you

You forgot a thumbprint scanner....they are cheaper than a retinal scanner.

but less secure

Firewall your front door :. LOL.

My front door firewall is my Labrador Retreiver

Like [iG] said :. theres AdAware, SpyBot, and definitely a firewall. A keylogger's useless if it can't sent the logs back to the installer. and anti spyware to remove any installed on your drive.

Windows Start Menu >> Run >> type "osk" (without quotations)

:confused:

Your obviously the guy that lock the badroom door when your home alone aye? , you atleast need to Labrador's a front and backdoor firewall also keep a spare firewall so that would be three firewalls

On Screen Keyboard. I wonder if that would prevent keylogging... hmm... never thought of that before.

Now someone is gonna ask about a "mouse logger" or maybe a screen capture device.

And technically, the OSK doesn't neccessarily fix the problem. In order for MS to provide support for non-OSK friendly programs, they designed it to send keypress/keyup messages to the program. These message would still be intercepted by a (smart) keylogger that hooked messages...

There are PKI USB keys that can assure the system user is really you unless you lose the USB key and your password is eavesdropped too.

Remember your keyboard doesn't need any software or in-the-middle-connector to be logged. It's frequencies can be traced and analyzed.

Kind regards.

keyboard loggers read the buffer from the keyboard itself and monitors the interrupt for the keyboard .. be it USB, infrared, PS2, or wireless FM

the OSK mearly gens the keycodes and passes them to the keyboard interrupt,

if a keylogger is on your home pc.. tsk tsk..

Just to be certain you'll probably need this as well ....

Never mind "them" logging your key presses - what if "they" are telling you what to type????

How did H-U.net get "osk" into my machine though - I've had it for years and never found that before ....

Forum necrophilia is bad, mkay
