I- White Hat: Experience with Keylogger
a.
Visit CNET and download one of the free keyloggers. If you were not able to download it
from CNET, simply search for one using Google search engine. The Keylogger may run
secretly in the background and records every key that is pressed as well as the ability to make
Screenshots on specified intervals. All the logged data can be sent to an email address which
allows the attacker to monitor the victim’s machine remotely.
1.
Download the Keylogger
2.
Extract the installation file, if necessary, otherwise simply run the application and install
it on your device by following the instructions.
3.
During the installation process, check the options.
4.
Take screenshots of how the keylogger works after you have performed some actions, like
opening files, logging in (username, password in any website), etc.
b.
Briefly describe your experience with the keylogger application. Other than malicious attacks,
how can we benefit from Keyloggers?
Be careful, do not show private/confidential data in your screenshots, such as your real
usernames/passwords. You may use some test accounts for the purpose of this homework.
