It's incredibly easy to write Key-loggers in many languages. It makes me a little nervous because these small, unknown viruses won't get detected by most(read: all) antivirus'.

I'm curious how to detect if some process grabbing these keys. I want to know what process is reading my input at any given point. Kind of a Key-logger-logger.

  • Any program with enough privilege to install a keylogger can also attack your app and patch the call to the "detect a keylogger" API. – Raymond Chen Jul 18 '16 at 01:57
  • I'm sure that's possible and that will be my next step. Currently though I'm still searching for a way to catch keyboard hook. If you could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. – Xnu17 Jul 18 '16 at 04:15
  • You will have to have more privilege than the keylogger. If you have the same privilege as the keylogger, then the keylogger can attack you. – Raymond Chen Jul 18 '16 at 15:42
  • @RaymondChen That's true. It's also not a problem. I will deal with persistence later, I already have a few ideas. Currently I still just need a way to detect the hook. – Xnu17 Jul 18 '16 at 18:04
  • Have you figured this out yet? – Michael Z. Apr 09 '17 at 17:11
