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.

The Digital antivirus Spies Rat is a special anti spyware application which filters and locates every malware and spyware. Not only malwares an spywares, this application program prevents keyloggers, antivirus, Trojan Horses, adware’s, track wares, worms and many more from attacking your computer.

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.

Google: Beware of keyloggers!

The software Computer Monitor Keylogger tracks the activities of your child continuously and the most striking feature of the software is that your child won’t even know that she is under introspection. In this way, you can protect them from online threats, which are very common nowadays.

The keylogger, which monitors the keystrokes on the keyboard constantly, takes note of the activities on the internet can record all kinds of keystrokes, conversation in various chat forums, recent browsing history, e-mail addresses, visited urls and various other online and system activities.

When you are far away, you can come back and track what your child was onto when you were not there. The complete information traced can be recorded in log files, which are password protected and sent to your email address. You can view its contents later on as you wish even if you miles away from your child. You can find how much time they have wasted surfing the net messaging in various social networking sites.

This software is similar to a daemon process, running in the background. It will never interact with the user, unless asked to do so. Only the system administrator can access the keylogger software and get the facilities of this amazing life-changing software.

Here are some methods that are listed:

• Orkut Phishing: you have to send a fake orkut login page (orkut phisher) to orkut friend and ask him to login to orkut account by this fake orkut login phisher
• Keylogging :  you have to install keylogger software on victim computer and give destination at which keylogger will send all passwords typed on friend’s computer
• Community links: you are provided with community links in orkut scraps inviting you to join it. On clicking the link in orkut scrap, you are directed to orkut phisher explained above, ready to hack your orkut profile account.
• Orkut Javascript hack : orkut victim is provided with some javascript (popularly called code) and is asked to copy paste this javascript code in his address bar for say changing his orkut theme
• Orkut New Features: orkut scrap that looks like they are giving the user a choice of using new features for orkut with your ID and password 
• Primary email address hack: If orkut hacker, by some means, hacks your gmail or yahoo account which you are using as primary email address, then this orkut hacker can easily hack your orkut account using “Forgot password” trick.

The first tool the I propose using is called RAR Pass Finder. It is a portable light tool, with extremely easy to use interface.

Rar Pass Finder isn’t different from other password finders, it uses dictionary files, to test against the unknown password. The software isn’t 100% accurate, meaning that you won’t always find the passwords. Rar Pass Finder comes only in German, but since it has only 3 buttons, it’s pretty self explanatory. Drag and drop your .rar file(s) in the program window or open them using the “Rar-Archiv” button and start the checking using the “Passwortliste” (see screenshot). (more…)

Simple Thoughts lists several ways you can hack BIOS passwords.

• Try the default password.  In certain instances there are electrical problems cause the PROM on the motherboard to reset to the Bios(CMOS) to default values. You can try: concat, AMI, Award, bios, setup, cmos.
• Use a software to read the BIOS password like CmosPwd or !BIOS.
• Reset BIOS password with Vendor Specific Solutions. (more…)

  The feature expands on a tool released in 2007 that allows mobile phone users to check their own location on a Google map. The new feature raises several security concerns, but Google is trying to address this issue by requiring each user to manually turn on the tracking software and making it easy to turn off or limit access to the service.

  Google says it will not retain any information on its users’ movements, and that only the last location recorded by the tracking service will be stored on Google’s computers. The software uses cell phone towers, global positioning systems, or a Wi-Fi connection to find users’ locations in the United States and 26 other countries.

  Each user can decide who can monitor their location. Latitude will initially work on Blackberrys and devices running on Symbian software or Microsoft’s Windows Mobile. Eventually the software will be able to operate on some T-1 Mobile phones running Google’s Android software and Apple’s iPhone and iTouch devices.
