How a Key Logger Works-------

How A Keylogger Works:

As most of you are now familiar with a
Trojan, KeyLogger is the simplest of the
different kind of Trojans.

As the name indicates,
the sole purpose ofthe keylogger is to log all
the key strikes a user is making and send that
logs to the master periodically.

Usually, a keylogger consists of two files, one
DLL (Dynamic Linking Library) and a .EXE
(Executable) file.

The purpose of the DLL file is
to work in sync with the OS I/O and records/
logs the keystrokes the user is making.

The Exe file is responsible for starting the DLL file to
work. There are mainly two different ways to send the
logs back to its Master.

First, It can email the
logs to the masters email account and he then
can get the logs when he opens his emails.

The second method is to upload the logs to a
remote FTP server which will be then entered by
the Master to retrieve the log files.

Congratulations, now you're a little smarter.
