It is no more advanced than other available linux keyloggers, notably lkl and uberkey, but is a bit newer, more up to date, it doesn't unreliably repeat keys and it shouldn't crash your X. All in all, it just seems to work. It relies on event interface of the Linux input subsystem. Once completely set, it logs all common character and function keys, while also being fully aware of Shift and AltGr key modifiers. Installation ------------ See INSTALL for installation/build notes. Usage how-to ------------ Abuse the output of this software wisely. logkeys is simple. You can either invoke it directly, by typing full command line, or use the provided scripts. There are two helper programs in this package: - bin/llk, which is intended to start the logkeys daemon, and - bin/llkk, which is intended to kill it. bin/llk runs etc/logkeys-start.sh, and bin/llkk runs etc/logkeys-kill.sh. You can use these two setuid root programs (llk and llkk) for starting and stopping the keylogger quickly and covertly. You can modify the .sh scripts as you like. As the two programs are installed with setuid bit set, the root password need not be provided at their runtime. Default log file is /var/log/logkeys.log and is not readable by others. I suggest you first test the program manually with $ touch test.log $ logkeys --start --output test.log and in the other terminal follow it with $ tail --follow test.log ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/kernc","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/kernc/logkeys/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
