Es un tipo de
troyano que se caracteriza por capturar y almacenar las pulsaciones efectuadas
sobre el teclado. Posteriormente esta información (que puede contener
información sensible) se envía a un atacante, que las puede utilizar en su
propio provecho.
Las ultimas
versiones de este tipo de programas maliciosos también hacen capturas de
pantalla del equipo atacado. De esta forma, se hace ineficaz e inseguro el uso
del teclado virtual.

Programa que
intercepta todas las pulsaciones realizadas en el teclado (e incluso a veces
también el ratón), y las guarda en un archivo para obtener datos sensibles como
contraseñas, etc. Posteriormente puede ser enviado a un tercero sin
conocimiento ni consentimiento del usuario.

Key loggers are
used to monitor keyboard activity on a PC. These can be software-based (bundled
with Trojan horses, adware, and spyware) or hardware-based (between the
keyboard cable and the PC, acoustic etc.) Usually this information is retrieved
across a local network, the internet, or from the physical device connected to
the keyboard.
PC Security Handbook, Rich Robinson
A virus that logs
a user's keystrokes as they type in order to capture private information,
passwords or credit card information.
Occasionally, key loggers can be physical devices attached to a PC.

A device that
monitors and records keyboard usage. [NIST-SP800-83:2005]
is a diagnostic
used in software development that captures the user's keystrokes. It can be
useful to determine sources of error in computer systems and is sometimes used
to measure employee productivity on certain clerical tasks. Such systems are
also highly useful for law enforcement and espionagefor instance, providing a
means to obtain passwords or encryption keys and thus bypassing other security
measures. However, keyloggers are widely available on the Internet and can be
used by anyone for the same purposes.

Keyloggers are
programs that can monitor and record your every keystroke, exposing you to the
risk of identity theft by revealing user names, passwords and other
confidential information.

A keylogger,
sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a
hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a
specific computer's keyboard. As a hardware device, a keylogger is a small
battery-sized plug that serves as a connector between the user's keyboard and
computer. Because the device resembles an ordinary keyboard plug, it is
relatively easy for someone who wants to monitor a user's behavior to
physically hide such a device "in plain sight." (It also helps that
most workstation keyboards plug into the back of the computer.) As the user
types, the device collects each keystroke and saves it as text in its own
miniature hard drive. At a later point in time, the person who installed the
keylogger must return and physically remove the device in order to access the information
the device has gathered.

Les keyloggers (de
l'anglais Keystroke Logger, enregistreur de frappes de touches) sont des petits
programmes espions qui enregistrent toutes les frappes sur les touches d'un
clavier. Régulièrement, le keylogger envoie les informations ainsi collectées
au pirate. Les keyloggers les plus sophistiqués ne se contentent pas
d'enregistrer les frappes sur le clavier mais effectuent également des captures
d'écran. Les keyloggers constituent une atteinte à la confidentialité des
ressources.
