Tracking Key Strokes by Keylogger

One of the many ways for password hacking is tracking key strokes, that is by tracking what the user types with keyboard. This is possible by tracing activity between keyboard and CPU. There are numerous keylogging methods for tracing activity between keyboard and CPU ranging from hardware keyloggers to software-based keyloggers.  
Software-based keyloggers can be of many types differentiated according to their purpose for which they are designed. These keylogger comes for many platform and once installed on operating system than can be used without even knowing the user that somebody is spying them, which means these can be hidden in background. These software can be used for various purpose such as it is helpful for parents to look for what your child is doing on net or trace his or her activity. Many software-based keylogger offer many features such as sending screenshots after every fixed time, key strokes, process activity etc. These spying data can be saved to log file and sent to you by e-mail or to online hosting service.

For its e mail configuration you should have an online account better if it uses smtp (simple mail transfer protocol). Than for software smtp configuration field use smtp.email-website-name.com (such as smtp.aol.om) use pop.email-website-name.com if it asks for pop enabled mailing service.

In hardware keylogger a device is used to connect keyboard and CPU which traces the line directly between keyboard and CPU. It has its own memory to save the logging activity.

Although these methods can not be used for network hacking but is good for spying anyone as because it have many limitation such as anti virus can detect them, for e mail service firewall can create problems for many keyloggers, the major drawback is that you have to use the target system once.
The only way of hacking with keyloggers is to install it on public computers where many people type there password in browser but this is of no use unless you have criminal tendencies.
