A Keylogger is a hardware or software device which monitors

program does not require physical access to the user's computer. Any person with a basic
knowledge of

Hardware keyloggers
-
Hardware keyloggers are used for keystroke logging. They plug in
between a
computer keyboard and record all keystrokes, Chats, email
passwords and other sensitive information.
A hardware keylogger is looks like a usb or other peripheral
device so the victim can never doubt that it is a keylogger. The hardware keylogger has
an inbuilt memory which stores the sensitive information.
Below is an image of a hardware keylogger for your convenience:
A keylogger must be installed keyboard plug and the USB
or PS/2 port socket. The
following image shows how a hardware keylogger gets installed.
Software keyloggers:
Software keyloggers are also used for keystroke capturing and
recording. But unlike hardware keyloggers we need to install it on a victims computer
to receive keystrokes. This process is also called remote monitoring.
SniperSpy is the industry leading keylogger software combined with

Winspy keylogger:
WinSpy Software is a

on a victim computer remotely.
Step 1:
First of all you need to Download winspy keylogger
Step 2:
After downloading winspy keylogger run the application. On
running, a dialog box will be prompted. Now, create an user-id and password on first run
and hit apply password. Remember this password as it is required each time you

creator. Enter the following things there:

the victims name.
File Name – Here you
need to enter the name of file needs to be sent. Like I have kept the name “Funny
joke” which the victim will love to accept.
File icon – You
really don’t need to change this.
Picture – Select
the picture you want to insert to the remote file.
Email log to – In this
field enter your email address which you will use to receive the keystrokes. I recommend here to use a gmail account because
Hotmail did not accept remote files.

After you have done all the above steps, click on “Create remote file”.
Now the remote file will be created, it will look something like
this.
Now you just have to sent the victim your remote file via email

may recognize winspy as a virus. So its recommended that
you disable your
antivirus before installing winspy.
