Keyboard monitor

[duku]

I need a program that monitors keyboard buffer and records all the typings into a file. I am typing a lot and sometimes I tend to forget to save a file or to keep track of my passwords. Besides, I want to know if anyone is using my machine (and its keyboard) while I am away. (I have WindowsXP Pro).

Could anyone direct me to a link or recommend something from their own experience?

Thank you!

Yes, I can. One is http://www.remotepcmonitor.com/keymon.html. You might find something from Sysinternals, too.

Thank you for your link, but I have nothing to do with all those advanced features that Keyboard Monitor is offering, neither want to spend 30$ for sucha program (just for trying it). I could use a much simpler application (and I 'd like to rather test it before, so a shareware would be nice ).

I couldn't find anything of this kind at Sysinternals...

There aren't more?

Duku, here are some links to programs that do what you ask.

KeyLogger

Key Stroke Recorder

KeyGhost

That is just a few. Do a search on Key Stroke recorders or Software. Hope this helps.

I heard the government is working on a trojan horse program called Magic Lantern that logs every keystroke on someone's computer.

I read something about that a few months ago, I think it was at the Register but I'm not sure. I do remember that the program is supposed to be able to log keystrokes as well as a list of all hardware and software along with any files stored or opened on the target computer. The article never confirmed it, just said that it was "supposed" to exist.

I just watched "Click online" on BBC World. There was a story about this, looks like it really exists after all. But, but, but.. I still doubt if it works on GNU Linux. I wouldn't wonder if M$ would cooperate with FBI but an OS being developed by individuals over the world, not likely. Well, at least I hope so.
/me starts PGPing his messages..

I think it's designed for Windows, Mic. What they apparently don't know is that the kind of people they're looking for don't use weak operating systems like Windows
