Fighting Keyloggers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have written a small tool which allows to enter timed passwords. Timed 
passwords might be useful when a key logger is present (like the 
Bundestrojaner recently discussed in Germany). AFAIK there are no key loggers 
that are able to log the key timings.

I've written that small piece of code for the curses library, which, after 
all, might not be a perfect solution. (It's simply the easiest one.)

It could be possible to link the code with cryptsetup-luks, or, it can be used 
separately by a frontend script.

I appears to work well, but requires some learning efforts. Only relative 
timings are used, so you can still enter your passphrase even if can't use 
all fingers.

What do you think?

Regards
k.j.
