So we r moving for the methods of hacking 💢💢👀👀


  🔴🔴🔴🔴Keyloggers🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

While the continuous development of technology has certainly made our lives easier, it has also allowed Cybercriminals to monitor our online activity in new and advanced ways. Some cyberthreats have become so sophisticated that they may be able to bypass even state-of-the-art Cyber Security software. Keyloggers are a perfect example of these “silent” cyber threats – they give hackers easy access to your personal information but can be almost impossible to detect until it’s too late.

💢💢In simple by it anyone can get your all types of security passwords or personal information.

🔴Uses of keylogger

A keylogger is a tool or a technology that monitors and logs consecutive keystrokes made on a keyboard. It normally operates in a covert fashion so that potential victims wouldn’t suspect that their activities are being monitored.

⬛Black hats  purpose

 Hackers can use this tool to record their target’s browsing activity and obtain their personal information, which they can then use for their own financial gain by blackmailing the target, withdrawing funds from their bank account, or selling the info to other Cybercriminals on the dark web.

🔴Ethical uses
Although they are most often used for malicious purposes they can also be used for any legal purpose.

⬛The company owner can also install it on the company devices for their privacy reasons or to prevent a data breach

Often erroneously described as malicious software, keyloggers aren’t always software-based. They can also be hardware-based, in which case they are either built into hardware or available as a separate device. As far as software-based keyloggers are concerned, unless they are legitimate, they are usually bundled with malware, spyware, or a virus. Hackers typically distribute this malicious keylogging software via phishing emails that include compromised attachments and/or links to infected websites.

A survey from 2005 found that more than 15 percent of corporate computers were running some type of keystroke logging software. Seeing as more than 80 percent of business owners in the United States have admitted to monitoring their employees’ activity in some way, it is safe to assume that the number of active keyloggers is much higher nowadays. Any unauthorized use of keylogging software is considered illegal in the United States, and the persons responsible for it could serve up to 20 years for wiretapping

 Types of Keyloggers 

Depending on which part of the computer they are embedded into, all keyloggers can be categorized as either software-based or hardware-based. The five most common types of keyloggers across both these categories include the following:

⬛API-Based Keyloggers

API-based keyloggers are by far the most common. These pieces of keylogging software use the keyboard API (short for application programming interface) to record your keystrokes. Each time you press a key, a notification is sent to the application you are typing in so that the typed character would appear on the screen. API-based keyloggers intercept these notifications and capture each of them as a separate event. The logs are then kept in a file on the system hard drive for easy retrieval by the hacker.

⬛Form Grabbing-Based Keyloggers

Rather than logging each keystroke separately, form-grabbing-based keyloggers log the data from your web forms upon submission. Similar to API-based keyloggers, they intercept the submission notification to log all the information you have entered in the form. This can include your full name, address, email phone number, login credentials, or credit card info. The whole process takes place as soon as you hit the “Submit” or “Enter” button and is completed before your form data is submitted to the website.

⬛Kernel-Based Keyloggers

As the name suggests, kernel-based keyloggers inhibit the core of your computer’s operating system (also known as the kernel), which makes them very difficult to detect and remove. They hide inside your operating system and record your keystrokes as they pass through the kernel. Because they are more difficult to write, these keyloggers are rarer than other software-based varieties. They are distributed via rootkits, malicious software bundles that can bypass your computer’s kernel and target the hardware.

⬛Hardware Keyloggers

Hardware keyloggers are devices that use the circuitry inside a keyboard to log keystrokes. They are most often built into the keyboard, although they are also available as either a USB connector (for personal computers) or a Mini-PCI card (for laptop computers). Rather than relying on software to store the logged keystrokes, all records are kept in the internal memory of the device. However, this also means that hackers must have physical access to the keyboard in order to retrieve this information.

⬛Acoustic Keyloggers

Acoustic keyloggers are very complex and are therefore rarely used. They utilize the principles of acoustic cryptanalysis to record your keystrokes on the hardware level. No matter what keyboard you’re using, each key on it has a unique acoustic signature. The differences are subtle, but individual signatures can be determined by analyzing a sample through a variety of statistical methods. However, not only is this very time-consuming but the results might not be as accurate as with other types of keyloggers.

🔴Examples of Keylogger Attacks

Hackers around the world have been using keyloggers for at least two decades to carry out major cyberattacks against individuals, businesses, and networks. Some of the most notable examples of keylogger attacks include the following:

In 2016, a major survey conducted by a US-based cybersecurity firm revealed that businesses from 18 countries were targeted as part of a coordinated campaign that used the Olympic Vision keylogger to obtain confidential business-related information. Distributed via fake emails allegedly sent by business associates, this software-based keylogger logged not only keystrokes but also clipboard images and texts, saved logins, and instant messaging chat histories.

In 2007, a group of Romanian hackers launched a global phishing campaign that involved the sending of malicious emails to millions of email addresses. When potential victims clicked on the link included in these emails, a software-based keylogger would be installed on their computers. The perpetrators of this cyber attack were finally identified in October 2018, when it was also revealed that they had stolen more than $4 million since the launch of the attack.

In 2015, a UK student was arrested and sentenced to four months in prison after it was revealed that he had used a keystroke logging software to up his exam marks. He installed the software on the computers at his university and used it to steal the staff’s login info. After that, he used the login info to access his university records and up the marks on five of his exams.

🔴🔴How to Remove a Keylogger

Some types of keyloggers are easily detected and removed by the antivirus software, but some others may prove very difficult to identify and isolate from your system. That’s because many software-based keyloggers are designed like legitimate software and are thus able to bypass most antivirus or anti-malware programs. To make matters worse, some keyloggers run at a higher level of privilege than standard cybersecurity software, which makes them next-to-impossible to detect and remove.

If you suspect that someone may have installed a keylogger on your computer but your anti-malware software isn’t detecting anything, you may be able to find it in Windows Task Manager. Simply launch Task Manager and take a close look at the list of active processes to see if there’s anything out of the ordinary. If necessary, ask someone tech-savvy to help you with this step. You can also check your system’s firewall for any suspicious activity, such as unusual amounts of incoming and/or outgoing data.

As with all other cyber threats, the best way to stay safe from keylogger attacks is to use the antivirus and run regular scans of your computer. To ensure that you’re protected against the latest threats, you should configure your antivirus program to automatically download virus definition updates. Finally, don’t open any links or attachments included in suspicious emails as they might initiate an “invisible” download of a keylogger, spyware, adware, or some other type of malicious software.

Or if u are using Android then go to the app manager they will show you all apps that are running on your Android 👀

So this is the main theory of Keylogger.




So now we are going to learn how can we attack a Keylogger. It's so simple I am giving you the process theory now ..practicals will be uploaded ..⬛⬛

There are many keylogger apps and software on the internet.

1.download one on ur device
2.Install it
