Key-loggers
Actual Key-logger
Actual Key-logger is a program that monitors the activity on your computer so you can discover
what other users are doing on your computer when you are not present.
The key-logger software keeps track of programs run or closed, websites visited and any
keystrokes pressed, and can also record screenshots and content copied to the clipboard.
The actual key-logger works by recording the key strokes entered by the user of the computer
and saving the input to the software itself. The software also stores occasional screenshots from
websites visited.
Spyrix Personal Monitor
Spyrix Personal Monitor is a powerful multifunctional program for complete and detailed
REMOTE MONITORING of user activity. It can monitor keyboard (Key-logger) activity,
activity on social, running and active applications, printing activity and external storages. The
program allows conducting control remotely no matter where you are located by sending logs to
your email, FTP or LAN and viewing logs from your account online. It cannot be detected by
computer users and antivirus programs. The program is perfect for parental control and
controlling employees.
Spyrix Free Key-logger works by recording and displaying information that has been inputted by
the active user. Options such as Keyboard events, Screenshots, Sound Recordings and Web
Pages Visited can be accessed. For this lab activity, the Keyboard events option has been
utilized, information inputted by the client to gain access to an email account. The software
stores backspace events as well as all characters which have been typed. In order to access the
information, the key-logger has to be started and refreshed after it has been stopped.
BlackBox Security Monitor Express
BlackBox Security Monitor Express provides you with a simple, yet powerful tool for
monitoring multiple local or remote computers in your network, while encrypting data to ensure
complete privacy. It reads and collects information from the target computers and sends it to
your PC, enabling you to view exactly how each workstation is used.
BlackBox Pro works by recording/saving the information that is entered or viewed by the
user of the computer. The software has options to ‘set up’ accounts for different PCs, where each
PC has a unique ID and a variety of options can be selected for each user. In this event, no
specifications were set, due to lack of knowledge of the software. As seen in the screenshot
below, the various applications being used were shown along with the Program name, Start
Time, End Time and the Computer being used. Being displayed in the screenshot example, is the
Cisco Packet Tracer software.

This second screen shot shows the key log for a google search on “how to use blackbox pro” as
well as email login info for a gmail account.
Comparison of Key-Logger Software
 Of all the key-logging software, Actual key-Logger appears to be the simplest with the
most basic features.
 All three pieces of software offer application logging, which gives details on which
applications are opened and closed.
 All three pieces offer invisibility while on the operating system, this means the user will
be unable to detect that the software is in use.
 All three also allow for screenshots to be taken periodically of user activity.
 It appears that BlackBox Software Monitor is the only key-logging software that is able
to collect data from multiple computers and generate a summary from the information
received.
 Spyrix appears to be the only logger which allows for live viewing of a screen in live
mode or for multiple screens to be viewed at the same time. This key-logger also offers a
remote uninstallation feature.

Encryption
Axcrypt
AxCrypt is the leading open source file encryption software for Windows. It integrates
seamlessly with Windows to compress, encrypt, decrypt, store, send and work with individual
files.
Veracrypt
VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX and based on TrueCrypt
7.1a.It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption
making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities
and security issues found in TrueCrypt.
OpenStego
OpenStego is a tool implemented in Java for generic steganography, which is the science of
hiding secret message inside another larger and harmless looking message. Steganography is
greater than cryptography, which just obscures the original message.
