Can anyone suggest a really strong resource containing up to date info on the study of keylogging and countermeasures. I've done searches and read books on the topic and have found little aside from the extremely inelegant approaches (such as a keyboard 'dongle'). I'm more interested in the software-based approaches, primarily because they are more elegant, easier to conceal and have interesting implications as far as software countermeasures go. I'm interested in information baout the progress of software keyloggers and the countermeasures and detection software associated with them. I've found some very outdated information dated around 1996 when Software keyloggers were just emerging for Windows 95. What about fully memory protected, password secured systems like Windows 2000? What about the countermeasures such as AntiVirus software, anti-spyware software? Are there any keyloggers that give realtime network reports? Otherwise, what are the most commonly used keylogging software? I don't expect a single, vast response covering all of these, but if anyone has anything to contribute, feel free. If you can think of a book or an online resource that is has very up to date info and cutting edge discussion of these, I would greatly appreciate it. I hope this doesn't belong more in the Forensics area. Thanks, Eric Hagen --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
