Do you think a keylogger isactually used in testing of a keyboard driver, in practice?Yes.More specifically, it's used to ensure that the scancodes that shouldbe detected when a particular key is hit or released are actuallydetected when that key is hit or released. It's also useful foridentifying how a particular keyboard has failed, to see whichscancodes aren't being transmitted properly.That said, it's not something that should be left in a productiondriver. It's more suited for a development/diagnostics station than ageneral-purpose system.Actually no. Microseconds count, when testing a keyboard driver. It's easy to imagine that a keylogger could be used, that's why the cover story worked on so many. But in actual practice it's not useful.(Eeesh. And my friends call me "paranoid".)It's easy to characterize this as paranoia. Unless you are paying attention to -facts- as the feedstock.
I should have said, "It's easy --and fun-- to characterize this as paranoia."
