Keystoke Logging Software
Did you know that it's possible for someone to know vir everything that you do on your computer? As I posted last week at The Mac Lawyer blog, keystroke logging software allows you to secretly record all the keystrokes on a computer and surreptitiously send those keystrokes via e-mail to another one. Once installed, it loads and runs invisibly in the background. When activated, it can monitor and provide reports on a wide range of computer activity, including instant messages sent, Web sites visited, e-mails sent, keystrokes typed, online searches made, and applications used.
One of the more popular programs is eBlaster from SpectorSoft. It is available in both Mac and Windows versions. You can read a full review of eBlaster | Mac here, and the PC version works substantially the same way. You should be aware of these types of programs and keep them in mind if you suspect your spouse (or anyone else) is monitoring your computer usage. You can also consult a computer forensics expert to help locate such programs in certain situations.
Note: Before using any program of this type, you should first determine whether obtaining such information if legal under state and federal law. This article does not provide any opinion on the legality of same, and it should not be construed as such. You should also consider that these types of programs are capable of capturing user IDs and passwords typed into banking or other secure sites, and thus make it easy to expose very sensitive information.
This is a great idea if you have a child and you are wondering what is happening on the family computer.
