OT Keystroke logger
Can anyone recommend a free keystroke logger out of the many available that
I can use to find out who and when (that will be my lodger, her boyfriend or her mates whilst I am at work) is using my computer. Adam |

Can't you lock the computer? (or would that be less fun :)) I could easily lock the computer (or the door to the computer room). The lodger says no one has used it when I asked her. She has her own laptop and a free internet connection that I have supplied into her room. I want to know what she is looking for or doing on my computer. It contains many personal and private things.

I can use to find out who and when (that will be my lodger, her boyfriend or her mates whilst I am at work) is using my computer. Put a password into the BIOS. Its still possible to work around, but a whole lot harder to crack than a windows password - and it`ll also prevent them from using something like Knoppix. Most BIOSs can still be hacked fairly easily, but if the machine isn`t already in a booted-up state, I think it pretty much knackers them. |

free. http://home.rochester.rr.com/artcfox/TinyKL/ Avast reports it as malware - win32:trojan-gen (other) - there`s a chance it isn`t I suppose, but all keyloggers are classed as malware these days. |

Nah, you want to catch people out rather than prevent access in the first place - much more fun :) Si |

I suppose it would be classed as such but I've been using it for yonks with no ill effects. It doesn't seem to bother AVG or Norton. Si |

I suspect that she is probably just looking around the computer at my photos and letters and not using the internet but I would like to know. Adam |

writes keylogger, webcam and some sort of 'net nanny' combined. I was just about to suggest something similar. Have you Internet access at work? If so how about a web cam permanently running in the back ground. Then you could watch and maybe phone them while they are at it and see their reaction. -- Bill |

Print it out and hand it to them one morning! :-) Mr F. |

I have used (on a non commercial basis) the following http://www.visiongs.de/ They used to have a free version, don't know if it's still there, but it can automatically upload a snap every few seconds to personal web space or locally for viewing.

You did not say which OS. If its Win2K or XP (or a real OS ;-) then you could have some fun with file and user permissions and file access logs (requires NTFS formatted volumes). You could create a user account which is logged on by default when you are not there, and have it generate events into the event logger when files are accessed etc. That way you would be able to say what files were accessed and when, without laying yourself open to charges of "snooping". -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Adam Remote monitoring has been suggested in another part of the thread. If you go down that route you could use VNC/RealVNC instead of a webcam etc. HTH, Alex. |

File accesses that fail due to access privilege violations will show up in the security section. What charges of snooping am I open to? The computer is in it's own little room and she was told it was out of bounds. Logging unwanted access to your computer and seeing what files are being accessed seems fair enough. I would be less comfortable using a keystroke logger however since you may end up capturing credit card numbers of bank logon details etc. If a fraud were to occur, it would be harder for you to defend yourself should accusations come flying your way. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I think PeterZahut is saying he doesn't know (YGM = You Got Me)
If he is trying to say anything else it is probably worth adding a few words of English to make things a little clearer! |

Ah - make sense now!

_makes_ sense even!

Strike that last bit. It will tell you when it was last modified but just right clicking on the title of the file counts as access. What is the point of that? Bloody silly Billie! I suppose supergluing the keys would be a no no? |

An occasional check of my spam folder reveals that the majority of my spams these days seem to be either for Viagra clones, or, more bizarrely, drugs which are supposed to increase the volume of my ejaculate. 'Eew', as SWMBO commented, 'why would anyone want to do THAT??!' David |
