An approach to overcome a keylogger   

Posted in security, hacking, stega | by evilbitz |



Well… this is not 100% fool-proof but if you care about your passwords and there is a chance that a keylogger is installed on the PC you are using (of course you must use it! and not a safer one), try the following method to type your passwords, it is simple but yet will overcome a decent amount of keyloggers out there:

If, for example, your password is ghostbuster:

  1. Type random parts of your password correctly: ghostbuster (type just htbu).
  2. In another window, type a lot of gibberish , like that: “;jklehf;3jmxmpojgedrjqhnm,bBNVuytewpirk,vmb” (-:
  3. Copy & Paste parts of your password and start assemble it in the password textbox ghostbuster
  4. Use random order when copy & pasting
  5. Delete parts of it by selecting parts of the password text and by pressing any key, do not use the backspace
  6. If you place spaces in the password text then select the text by pressing Ctrl+Arrow
  7. Assemble the password using all the above tips with random order

Thanks,
Guy.

    WELL, ALL WHAT A KEY LOGGER DOES IS ,READ THE KEYS BEING HIT BY YOU , INSTEAD OF COPYING AND PASTING YOUr PASSWORD YOU BETTER USE ON SCREEN KEYBOARD
    (START->ALL_PROGRAMS->ACCESSORIES->ACCESSIBILITY->ON_SCREEN_KEYBOARD)
    use your mouse to type your password into password and username windows directly from on screen keyboard !!

    Actually, using an onscreen keyboard may not save you. There are keyloggers that take a screencap every time you click. They could just look at the picture and still see every keystroke you made.

    hushpiper, there might be keyloggers that perform “screenscraping” but the password box ususally shows asterisks.
