does anyone know a good way to protect my software from key loggers (except from a screen keyboard, that my users tend to complain) ? Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter :jig: I've gone sending to outer space, to find another race :jig:
Ultimately, no. But there are ways in which you can minimize the effects of keyloggers, sometimes adding to the frustration of your users. One way is to force them to generate a new password each time they log in. This can be handled in a variety of ways- all of which I won't go into here. But ultimately, this method should produce a password that is say, time based and only good for a few minutes-- long enough to log in. That way the keyloggers can log all the keystrokes they want but the passwords they capture will always be out of date. Paul Oss

Yes, add support to single sign on NT authentication. And, yes, you'll have to explain to the user that leaving open a session within his machine is plain stupid. Q261186 - Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music

If you're concerned only about password enter, I thought on some hack (the method is probably used somewhere, so the credit probably isn't mine). For each letter generate a random letter, and then in a spin-edit like fashion using mouse/up-down keys allow the user to scroll to the correct letter. No keylogger can pass this, if you're random. Similar to slot machine.

One thing I have seen - generate a 2 or 3 digit random numberwhich the user has to key in. Not perfect, but can trip up key loggers. Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

It mentions only software key-loggers, for about 20$ you can pick up a hardware extension logger or for 50$ an internal keyboard logger. Which apparently are quite effective. :(( Regardz Colin J Davies

interesting idea... but the problem is that the password would be visible at the screen. Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter :jig: I've gone sending to outer space, to find another race :jig:

Yep, but it's not a keylogger:) It's a screengabber:) There is a limit what a hack can solve. Use a smartcard.

This is an interesting problem... You could draw your keyboard on the screen and have the user use the mouse to enter the password (or you could draw a numeric keypad, to keep things simple). You could even randomize the keys so logging all mouse movements wouldn't get you anywhere. Even if they take periodic screenshots, they'd only see a keypad. You could still have someone secretly install GotoMyPC, but I don't know what you could do against that, except maybe sound!
