Keylogger Countermeasures to watch for - 02/13/11 09:13 PM
Just because WSs are smart too...yes ***EDIT***
You might be careful to cover your tracks. Norton and possibly others ask you to tell the program which logger to ignore. A savy WS can find this setting. So once you have the password you need, maybe take the logger down for a bit. As long as you are sure you are getting what you need that is.
Secondly, a countermeasure apparently out there is to use a password that is also a function on the keyboard, so it blends in with the other keystrokes and cannot be easily picked out. For instance if I pick "enter" as my password, you might think I am pressing the key and you did not capture my password.
Not sure where that came from, but the idea is out there.
