Heres a story about a judge dismissing a case against a man for using one of those awesome KEYkatcher devices on his employers pc.

Apparently the connection between the keyboard and computer doesn't break the law... if THAT doesnt, think of all the other cool things you could do legally..

Does anyone else have any info about the legality of these hardware keyloggerS?

I always have mine plugged in just in case I forget a temp password or to check back over my commands...

This is a device that can be connected to a keyboard to record all keystrokes. It has a changeable password, keyword search, enable/disable option, and stores URLs. Records more than 130,000 keystrokes and does not require any software. Monitor unauthorized access to your computer or your network. Use it to troubleshoot or make fixes by tracing back through a users command sequence.

Key Katcher plugs in between your keyboard and your computer. A microcontroller interprets the data, and stores information in the non-volatile memory (which retains the information even when there is a loss of power.) This means that the Key Katcher device can be unplugged, and the information will not be lost.

To access the recorded data, you simply type your password in a text editor and the Key Katcher comes to life. A menu is displayed with options to erase data, view data, search data for keywords, change password, or disable the device.

Some neat features of this gadget:


Available with 128K or Mini size.

It is Portable - move it from computer to computer.
Installs in seconds - Just plug it in.
Uses no system resources. Truly runs in the background.
Works with all PC Operating Systems with PS/2 keyboards (sorry, no USB).
Data is retained even during system lock-ups and power outages.
No Software to learn. Use in conjunction with programs you already know.

I would recommend key ghost because its very large storage and it encrypts the keystrokes.

Keykatcher is also very good and reliable (2+ years not 1 problem.)
