An awesome strategy to catch keyloggers.

A day back i was looking for a tool that could help me login from public computers without the fear of getting keylogged by keyloggers. I was quite paranoid about logging into my account from public computers. Passwords once keylogged can easily be misused- all cryptographic algorithms rendered useless at once .

While googling i got a link to this free tool called KL-Detector.It uses a smarter algorithms than most antivirus softwares to catch hold of the running trojans/keyloggers.

1. A keylogger will record anything and everything typed from the keyboard to a file on the local harddisk.

2. The size of data typed from computer keyboard= size data being added to the log file

3. This tool looks for this “increment” in log file’s size. The size is compared to what is typed in realtime from the keyboard.

4. If the increment matches for a definite period of time then the probability is high that you’re being snooped by a keylogger The process can then be ended and keylogging can be stopped.

Now this is much smarter than a usual antivirus which relies on the updated signatures from the antivirus definition database , and you’ll like it when you find it works with every keylogger. I did.
