Windows XP - Fool that keylogger!

[ShiningRay]

Wanna fool a keylogger? Here is some easy steps to do.

The first - easy way.

Once you know that a keylogger exists in your PC, try to make false login. How? Type a half or few letters of your right login name and password, and then scramble the rest. Erase that, and then continue with your right login/password. It fooled Home Keylogger, a free keylogger found on the net. I've tested it in USB keyLogger but I haven't seen the result. *probably, I will, after I finish this thread".

The second - protect your Windows Log-in.

Open up Run prompt by pressing Winkey + R. Type "gpedit.msc", then you'll be shown a "Group Policy" control. Find "Windows Settings" > "Security Options". Get "Local Policies" then change the value of "Interactive logon : do not press Ctrl+Alt+Del...." *too long to mention xD* to "Disabled". Then, turnoff your login screen and Fast user Switching by Gong to Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on & off > uncheck all checkboxes there. It saved my friend's Windows Log-in and passwords.

PS : I'm a linux user, so don't ask me more about Windows. I'm just accidentally get that tutor ^^.

Interesting! I'm glad to hear you're a Linux user cuz I don't know anything about that stuff... beyond the fact that it's free! Our Linux section and users will really appreciate your presence!

That may work with a free keylogger you downloaded but it will not work with a quality product. I know for a fact that either eBlaster or Spector Pro (prob. the top key loggers available IMO) show backspaces, control characters etc. They also give you the option to view everything that was typed or have it formatted as it appeared, which defeats the backspacing entirely.
