The Security Box, podcast 32: The Beginning of Keyloggers

These are the show notes. For full news notes, please check the blog. Welcome to the security box, podcast 32. On this edition of the program, we're going to taolk about keystroke loggers. I found a Wikipedia article which is detailed and there could be a possibility that this goes in to multiple weeks. We'll also have news, notes, questions, comments and even a "things to ponder" segment to boot. Topic, Keystroke logging: This may take several programs, but we must cover keystroke logging. We take from the Wikipedia page on keystroke logging so you can follow along. Different heading include, but not limited to: application, software based keyloggers, keystroke logging and writing processes, related features, hardware based keyloggers and history. There are 4 different headings for this article and a lot to read. I figured it would be a good discussion to have since it has come up in discussions of other things. I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as I am bringing it to you. Things to Ponder During last week's program, we were still learning about the possible issue in a small town in Florida that could've had some serious problems with its water supply if it weren't for a worker noticing something as simple as a mouse moving. In this things to ponder segment, I talk about what we've learned to date, and its quite interesting. To date, I have two sources you can read more, one an article by our good companion Brian Krebs, the other from CISA. You should read them both, and of course listen to what my thoughts are and participate. What’s most interesting about the Florida water system hack? That we heard about it at all. Krebs on Security Alert (AA21-042A) Compromise of U.S. Water Treatment Facility CISA I hope you'll participate in this interesting story.
