Keylogging-derived from key (key) and logging (logging) is a method of capturing and recording keystrokes made on the keyboard. Programs that perform keylogging are called keyloggers and are readily available on the Internet.
There are currently two types of keylogging methods:
Hardware keyloggers, which perform keylogging using a hardware device that connects between the keyboard and the computer. This device stores all keyboard activity in an internal memory.
Software keyloggers, which work in the background and can store keystrokes (user actions) or transmit them remotely.
Keylogging software is often presented as a legitimate program. Sometimes this type of malware is deliberately installed by a computer system administrator.
I have this case of study on one of my lasth test of TICS (a IB(international bacalorate) subject). My teacher says this virus is a Trojan and says in the IB international exams the correct answer is that this virus is a Trojan.
