How to use Keyloggers

I know most of you are new to the concept of keyloggers.Many of them may be hearing term “keylogger” for first time. So to make you understand better i am posting it  in the form of FAQs.


1). What are Keyloggers?

A keylogger (also called as spy software) is a small program that monitors each and every keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard.

2). How a Keylogger works?

Once the keylogger is installed on a PC, it starts operating in the background like in stealth mode and captures every keystroke on that PC. For example: The victim goes to https://www.gmail.com and types his “username” and the “password” the keylogger silently records these keystrokes and stores them in the logs. These logs when opened shows the captured “username” and “password” and will also tell you that they were typed in the Gmail login page.


3). How to install the keylogger?

 keylogger's can be installed just like any other program. Just follow the screen instructions.

 Anyone with a basic computer knowledge can install and use the keyloggers.


4). Once installed can the victim come to know about it’s presence?

No. The victim will never come to know about the presence of the keylogger on his/her computer. This is because, once installed the keylogger will run in total stealth mode. Unlike other programs it will never show up in start-menu, start-up, program files, add/remove programs and task manager. So the victim can no way identify it’s presence on his/her PC.


5). Can anyone track me back if I install the keylogger on someone else computer?

No its not possible.
