Overview

Vendor Description

From the doc: 'AB System Spy is a keystroke recorder program, a clipboard monitor, a processes monitor, a TCP/IP port monitor, a directory monitor and a screen capturer in the same time. It logs all keystroke (including {Shift}, {Control}, {F1}-{F12}, etc.) and save it with the information about the window in which has been typed in a log file in html or text format. AB System Spy allows you to send the logs automatically to an e-mail address or upload to a FTP server.'

Category

Key Logger: (Keystroke Logger). A program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack. For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user. Keylog programs are commonly included in rootkits and RATs (remote administration trojans).
