Using a keylogger

By: Dan Smith

A lot of people are under the impression that keyloggers are of use only to criminals. The media hype surrounding hackers, and in particular identity theft, is primarily to blame for this. But as you know, the media always exaggerates for effect, no less so in this case.

Just the same, while you could use a car to take you safely to your destination, that same car (or one very much like it) could be used by a criminal in a crime. I'm sure you would agree that this is not a good thing, but I doubt you would want to give up your car, would you? Keyloggers actually have a number of legitimate uses.

To give you an example, if you have children, a keylogger can be used to help ensure their safety. Just install the program, and it will automatically watch what they do. This lets you check up on them, and see if they're doing anything dangerous, like giving someone online their address! There are a lot of dangers on the internet today, and a keylogger can be a big help in taking care of your kids.

More then that, it provides a useful tool to keep tabs on all your family- maybe you're worried your spouse is cheating on you, well, this is an easy way to find out. Just install a keylogger, and check out who they are chatting to and what they are chatting about. Computer surveillance has never been easier.

Even if you have no family members you want to keep an eye on, a keylogger can be an excellent tool in other areas as well. For example, install one on your computers at work, and you'll be able to instantly spot anyone slacking. Much more important then this, though, is the ability to identify trade secret leaks and plug them before they become a problem. Now that's a useful device.

Software like Secret Agent Spy (from http://secretagentsoftware.com/) make this an easy task. They are easy to use, no trouble to install, and allow you to start monitoring instantly. Just download the program, and install it on the computer you want to monitor.

The recent advancement of spy software, such as the aforementioned Secret Agent, has allowed a number of new developments to be made. For example, You can now not only record keystrokes, but every action the user makes. This is recorded as a video, which you can play back later, just like a DVD. And like a DVD, you can fast forward or rewind it, giving you an unprecedented level of control.

The stealth options that now come as standard with programs like this prevent anyone from discovering it is installed, and the ability to automatically email the results of the monitoring to an email address of your choice make plausible deniability easier then ever. No-one will find the program, and even if they did, its password protected so they could never use it!

If you are even slightly worried about what others are doing, you need to get a keylogger. The simplest keyloggers will give you valuable information, but if you get a really good one it will allow you to do so much more. The best thing to do is to go out, do some research, and then buy the best that you can find. Check out forums, and ask friends for advice, but in the end get a program that does everything you want it to. Don't settle for second best, especially where security is concerned.
