Well, you are right if this program is really written for the 'evil' purpose you have mentioned. But nobody can deny that the hacking tool can't be used in helping a scientific research. actually, this program is used for reading the data of barcodes into my realtime program, because the input from the barcode scanner is quite same with a keyboard input. I can't find any reference and so have to write such a program by myself. At least for me, a linux newbie (you also see that it is written in a broken format), I would think to finish my work with linux first rather than with the 'great' intention you thought. :-) Take it easy. Do ask before comment.
