Abstract
Keyloggers are malicious programs that record keystrokes and jeopardize the security of personal and business data. These sneaky malwares grab vital information while evading user discovery. Keyloggers conceal their existence by using techniques like rootkits to bypass antivirus and other security measures. Once installed, they are not visible on the process monitor . Attackers may unlawfully access sensitive information, such as banking credentials. One major worry regarding keyloggers is that around 90% of them now function in the user's environment without express authorization, leaving the user unaware that their device is being watched. Although there are hazards, addressing the keylogger threat necessitates preventative actions. This article proposes ways to improve the prevention of assaults, such as hacking. It advocates employing strong security tools and increasing cybersecurity awareness. Additionally, the following discussion suggests methods to understand the capabilities of keyloggers, develop detection methods, and rigorously evaluate countermeasures accordingly.
