Although it may seem overwhelming at first glance, hardware keyloggers are very simple to use.

It resembles a standard connector but inside the is a microcontroller and a non-volatile memory chip. The microcontroller interprets data (keystrokes) as they are typed and the non-volatile memory stores all of the keystrokes in a memory that won't be erased when powered down.

Installation

To install a hardware keylogger, all you need to do is plug it in-between your keyboard cable and your computer. The device is ready to record the instant you plug it in.

Retrieving data

When you want to see what's been recorded, simply open any word processing program (Microsoft WordPad is recommended) and type in your password. As soon as your password has been correctly entered a menu will be displayed on your screen. The menu gives you several options, including; View Memory, Erase Memory, Disable recording, and so on. As soon as the 'View Memory' option has been selected, every word that has been typed on your computer will be displayed for you to see!
