What is Keystroke Logging?

Keystroke Monitoring is a process by which a computer system administrator views or records both the keystrokes entered by a computer user and the computer's response. Examples of keystroke monitoring would include viewing characters as they are typed by users, reading users' email, and viewing other recorded information typed by users. Some forms of everyday system maintenance record user keystrokes; this could incorporate keystroke monitoring if the keystrokes are saved together with the user identification so that an administrator can determine the keystrokes entered by specific users. Keystroke software provides system administrators with the ability to capture keystrokes entered by the computer users, both alphanumeric and invisible characters. Gather usernames and passwords, capture hate messages and 2-sided chat conversations.
