Keyloggers or keyboard spies have been around since the early days of computers. They are used in a wide variety of fields of activity. From office applications, when the director wants to know everything his employees are doing, to large-scale spyware which are organized by the American NSA.

Tracking programs allow you to perform a very wide range of tasks: take screenshots, monitor via a webcam, record sound from a microphone, determine the geoposition of a laptop, send reports along with files specified type, duplicate your browser history in case it is deleted, and do many other things.

The word keylogger itself is a familiar but not entirely correct name. The first PC user tracking utilities actually logged only keystrokes and behaved almost like regular programs. As they developed, they learned to hide their activity better and collect much more data about the actions of the computer user.

The possibility of hidden launch made it possible to classify them as “potentially malicious”, to the delight of antivirus manufacturers. With distribution accessible internet keyloggers now have functions for sending logs and remote control. This gave rise to classifying them as Trojans and backdoors, which is why some authors abandoned the release of updates, while others accepted the challenge and began to look for methods to bypass antiviruses.

The first keylogger was installed by the KGB in 1976 on IBM Selectric typewriters.
at the American embassy and consulate. It was discovered only 8 years later.

Today, spyware has to be hidden not only from the user, but also from anti-virus scanners. Improving camouflage methods has become mandatory and constant process. Even true hackers rarely had enough patience for it, since they wrote keyloggers mainly for fun. For example, Ghost Spy, the best keylogger of its time, has lost its relevance.

Most other developers began to sell more simple programs for "parental control". They weakly mask their presence in the system, and for normal operation you usually need to add them to antivirus exceptions and create allowing firewall rules.

Of course, parental control, password interception, and user tracking are far from the only purposes of these programs. There can be many options for use: some keyloggers allow you to search for stolen laptops, simultaneously collecting evidence of guilt and logging all the actions of thieves, and remote listening and connecting to a webcam are excellent security functions.

So let's move on to our review:

THE RAT!

The Rat program, written by a man with the pseudonym HandyCat, is an example of true assembly language art. This is a whole series of keyloggers, some versions even provide for remote installation. According to the author, The RatKid fork was originally intended to be a simplified version. However, it soon turned into a separate utility, temporarily even
more powerful than her ancestor. Now the internal competition has been eliminated: The Rat and The RatKid are almost identical. Separately, there is only the old The Rat v.10, optimized for Windows XP. The latest release - The Rat v.13 Lucille was created in May of this year. You can download both the full version and the demo version.

Each The Rat distribution is an archive within an archive. Inside the .zip there is a self-extracting WinRAR module, protected by a password. In the demo it says: TheRatKlg. To find out the password for full version, you must contact HandyCat at the address indicated on the website. After unpacking the archive, you will receive two executable files: RatCenter.exe - control center and RatExtractor.exe - log viewer. There is also detailed help and a license file.

The entire file set is 1.6 MB, but most of this space is in GUI control center. Due to the packer, the keylogger itself fits into 20 KB of code, and the unpacked version - into 50 KB. It works with any keyboard layout, including Arabic and Japanese. Compatibility tested for all Windows versions from XP to 8.1. It has not yet been tested on the “ten”, but it should work.

By default, the option to notify the user about being tracked is checked in the settings. In the demo version, it does not turn off, and every time Windows is restarted, a corresponding program window appears on the screen with a single OK button. In the full version, unmasking can be disabled. In addition, it has another unique component - a program for merging multiple files, FileConnector. It can attach a keylogger to any executable or multimedia file. The result of FileConnector will always be a new executable containing the code of the source program and The Rat.

True, this is only relevant for spying on inexperienced users who will not be confused by the sudden appearance of the .exe extension. Restrictions: the source and destination files must contain only Latin characters and numbers in the name.

The main purpose of FileConnector is to facilitate remote installation using social engineering. For example, you can send the user a cool game or a self-extracting archive with important documents with a keylogger attached. The full version of The Rat also uses an executable file packer/encryptor to reduce the size of the add-on and make it harder to detect.

In addition to all the traditional keylogger functions, The Rat can track activity in pre-selected application windows and respond to keywords, take screenshots at a specified time interval or every time you press the Enter key. This significantly reduces the amount of garbage in the logs and simplifies their transfer. Fully featured
the version additionally performs the tasks of a sniffer: it logs all work on the Internet in as much detail as possible and local network. Unlike other keyloggers, The Rat can intercept the substitution of stored passwords and data from autofilled forms.

The Rat also has an interesting local search engine feature. It can secretly find one or more files using a predefined mask, and then send copies of them along with the log by mail or to FTP specified in the Rat(Kid)Center settings. I will describe below how to search for FTP with anonymous login and recording capabilities.

The Shodan shadow internet search engine will help us get the latest list of FTP servers. A list of anonymous FTPs is generated upon request 230 Anonymous access granted . Choose the first one you like and try to upload a file to it. If it works, share the link with a friend or check the next one. During the test, two suitable servers were found in two minutes, using a free Shodan account.

Many of the old keyloggers are no longer relevant due to the transition of SMTP servers to secure connections. The Rat supports TLS protocol, and therefore it is capable of sending logs through modern email services. If the keylogger user has physical access to the monitored computer, then another non-trivial method of obtaining the log will be useful to him - autocopying. Starting from the eleventh version, Rat(Kid) Center can create a flash drive, which, when inserted into USB, will automatically record the keylogger log.

Key Feature everyone latest versions TheRat - work on the principle of disembodied viruses. When running The RatKid, as well as The Rat v.11 and higher, no separate executable files are created. It is launched once from the control center or a modified executable, and then completely hides traces of its presence and exists only in random access memory. Any
A regular shutdown and even a reboot by briefly pressing Reset leaves it in the system. You can remove The Rat(Kid) using the separate Rat(Kid) Finder utility included with the corresponding full version. It detects the keylogger itself, finds the log it created, allows you to change settings and find out the hot keys to disable the keylogger.
An alternative option for unloading it is to immediately de-energize the computer. It only works if no additional security measures were taken when installing the keylogger. On desktop systems, this will require unplugging the power cord, and on laptops, the battery.

Simply turning it off with a button is useless. A “rat” of fifty kilobytes in size can be easily stored not only in RAM, but also in the cache of the processor, drive, CMOS and any other available memory that will not be reset if there is a standby power source.

If The Rat was attached to any executable file from the autorun list, then to remove the keyboard interceptor after turning off the computer, you will first have to load another OS and find a modified executable. This is best done by disk auditors (AVZ, for example, has this function) and programs that can calculate hash functions.

For example, Autoruns will check not only them, but also the digital signatures of startup objects, and send all suspicious files to the VirusTotal online verification service. However, this is not a panacea. A small keylogger file will not necessarily be embedded in another. It can exist as a satellite - for example, in alternative NTFS streams.

The advantages of The Rat also include its invisibility in the list of processes for all known viewers, the complete absence of entries in the registry, the ability to bypass some software firewalls (including those that check file checksums) and the ability to self-destruct at a specified time, leaving no traces and no reboot required.

The keylogger has one drawback - predictable and significant: currently its files are detected by most antiviruses. Therefore, before using them on the target computer, they will have to be modified by packers with the function of encrypting or obfuscation of the code.

SPYGO

SpyGo is a fundamentally different keylogger for Windows (from XP to 8.1, the 64-bit version is also supported). It uses much less aggressive behavior. Because of this, it is relatively easy to detect, but it is considered completely legal. Its author does not even hide behind a nickname - he is a programmer Anton Kartashov from the city of Berdsk, Novosibirsk region. He is trying to develop the project not so much as hacker software for espionage, but as a legal monitoring tool.


The developer is doing everything possible to avoid SpyGo from being included in antivirus databases. Although the distribution is encrypted using Enigma Protector, it has digital signature Spygo Software, certified by the Comodo certification authority. So far, only two out of fifty scanners swear at SpyGo (more precisely, at the packer), and even then at the level of paranoid heuristics.

This keyboard interceptor is available in Lite, Home and Ultima Edition. The latest release (3.6 build 50315) was released in June of this year. The differences between versions relate mainly to advanced functions. In Lite and Home, remote listening via a microphone and determining the location of the monitored laptop are not available. Also, in these versions all remote functions do not work: remote viewing of logs, broadcasting over the network of what is displayed on the screen
images, monitoring via a webcam, managing the program itself and uninstalling it. The Lite version also lacks the function of delivering reports (by email or FTP) and instant notification by email about visiting websites marked as “undesirable”.

We tested the Ultima Edition, which does almost everything. Of course, among the implemented functions there is recording of keystrokes and copying text from the clipboard. SpyGo also logs general statistics of computer use: the time it was turned on and off, startup certain programs and actions in them. The keylogger watches the browser especially closely: it collects statistics of visited sites and tracks search queries. Among additional features there is the creation of screenshots (works also in games and when watching movies), receiving photos from a webcam, creating a log of all operations with files in a selected directory or on the entire disk, as well as connecting removable media.

Among ordinary users, the most popular features now include monitoring the actions of their household members in in social networks and reading their correspondence in different messengers. SpyGo can do all this and records it in the log in a row or by catching only individual phrases using keywords.

SpyGo is also interesting because it can launch at a certain time and perform selective monitoring - this helps reduce the size of the log. All logs are encrypted. It is assumed that they can only be viewed from SpyGo. Recorded events are grouped into tabs in the report. They create a fairly accurate picture of the user's experience, but there are also discrepancies. For example, in the AVZ utility we simply performed a quick scan, and in the “Keys pressed” section of the log file the strange text “eeeeeee…” was displayed on two lines. In other programs, confirmation of an action by clicking the mouse corresponded to a record of entering “y”, which fits into the console logic of operation.

Initially, the program operates explicitly. The installation wizard even creates a shortcut on the desktop, and in the settings there is a separate option “Notify the user of this computer about monitoring.” If you check it, a warning text will be displayed when you turn on the computer. This was done in order to avoid accusations of illegal surveillance. For example, everyone is already accustomed to the “Video surveillance is underway” stickers and the auto-informer phrases “All conversations are being recorded.” It's the same here: corporate politics and the struggle for discipline.

The “quiet” mode, natural for the keylogger, is turned on manually after the first launch. It removes the program window, hides it from the taskbar, list installed programs and in every possible way masks activity. You can return the SpyGo window by pressing a preset key combination (by default this is ). If you forgot the tricky combo, you can restart the installation of the program and see a working copy of it (or a password entry window, if one is specified). This is not done in the spirit of a ninja, but it helps those suffering from sclerosis.

Hiding a running program works both in the system process manager and in its advanced analogues like Process Explorer. Popular antiviruses also ignore the work of the keylogger, but it is instantly identified by the AVZ analyzer as a masquerading process.

IN file system The keylogger doesn't really hide at all. It only sets the "hidden" attribute on its directory, so that it will not be visible in Explorer with default settings. Naturally, he remains visible to others file managers to the standard address C:ProgramDataSGOsgo.exe. You can specify a different installation path, but this helps little - the executable is always the same, otherwise it would be defined as a polymorphic virus.
A comparison of the startup sections before and after installing SpyGo shows the addition of the RTDLib32.dll library. Antiviruses let it through, but it sticks out quite clearly in the system.

There are many different keyloggers you can find, and each of them is interesting to study. However, in the end, any of them will be an analogue of the toothy The Rat or the cute SpyGo. These two different approaches to writing dual-use utilities will always coexist. If you need to protect your laptop, keep an eye on your child or a careless employee, feel free to install SpyGo and control all actions through a convenient interface. If complete secrecy is required, use the assembler “Rat” as a basis and hide it from antiviruses during installation as best you can. Then she will run on her own, gnawing holes even in powerful protection. The Rat is exceptionally difficult to detect on a live system, and this keylogger is well worth the effort. Chances are you'll be able to write your own by the time you fully understand it.

Spyware for Android for tracking a subscriber or listening to conversations - how to find and install

Applications and special programs smartphones are increasingly used by us in everyday life. We get used to using them to make purchases, conduct financial transactions, and communicate with friends around the world. If there is a need to further monitor your child’s social circle, listen to the conversations of company employees or family members, you will need a spy program for Android or iOS, which can be easily downloaded and installed on your smartphone. It will be useful for monitoring children, the elderly, household staff or employees.
What is spyware

To use the phone monitoring service you need personal registration on the program developer's website. When registering, you must remember your login and password to enter the service, and confirm your phone number or email address. Spy programs differ from each other in their control functions and the types of presentation of information “taken” from the monitored device to you. This could be a screenshot, a table of calls, SMS, call recordings. The program for spying on an Android phone must be downloaded, installed, and activated on the smartphone secretly from the user.
Types of Spyware

Smartphone remote control programs are divided into the following types:

Tracking user activity in instant messengers WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, VK;
remote control of a video camera or microphone on a device for real-time monitoring;
control of your own and others’ SMS and voice messages;
wiretapping calls;
determining the location of the controlled device.

current location of the subscriber with online tracking of movements using geolocation using GSM operator base stations or GPS navigation;
history of visiting smartphone browser pages;
accounting of downloaded, installed, used applications;
Sound control of the environment using remote microphone control.

Spyware for Android

Among the range of spy programs offered are free utilities, which, when analyzed and verified, turn out to be ineffective. To obtain high-quality information, it is necessary to spend money on collecting and storing photo, video, and audio information. After registering on the developer’s website, the client receives a personal account indicating the connected control functions and the collected information.

A paid mobile phone wiretapping program for Android is being developed taking into account the need to satisfy the most demanding customers in several respects:

How to install spyware on your phone

Installing a mobile spy begins with registering via the Internet on the manufacturer’s website, choosing a tariff plan, and paying for services. Then a link is provided that must be entered in the smartphone browser to download the program. Some spy programs for Android are available through Google Play, downloaded like regular applications. When installing and activating the program, you will need permission to access all the smartphone functions necessary for its operation. You may need permission to use programs that are obtained from unknown sources.
How to detect spyware on Android

Most spy programs for Android have the function of masking their presence on a smartphone. They can exclude themselves from the list of applications and not show their activity during periods of using the phone. Many antivirus programs can detect such software. To protect yourself from spyware and malware, you should get into the habit of running a full phone scan once a week or setting it up to run automatically on a schedule. The main signs of such programs running on your phone may be:

Mobile phone slowdown;
rapid battery drain;
unjustified consumption of Internet traffic.

Smartphone and battery

Video

You've probably heard about spyware. Yes, they exist. Many people confuse such programs with viruses, but this is not so. Spyware does not have harmful code; its function is different - to find out what you are doing on the computer and transfer it “where it is needed.” Basically, such programs can be used in business. For example, a company's security service may well install such programs on employees' computers in order to know what they are doing on the phone. work time. Spyware has great functionality. They not only tell the “owner” what applications the employee opened, but also record all keystrokes, keep a list of files used, a list of Internet addresses visited, and even take screenshots of the desktop at a given time interval. Those. All entered logins and passwords, correspondence in QIP, Skype and other instant messengers, as well as time spent on Internet sites become available.

If an employer installs similar programs on his company’s computers to protect commercial information and protect against fraud (with informing employees, of course), then this is quite understandable, but what about the protection of personal information? After all, such a program can be installed on your home computer, and you won’t even know about it (until your accounts on social networks are blocked, for example). Unfortunately, spyware is made in such a way that the user does not know anything about it. The tray icon does not hang, warnings do not appear, and, besides, processes do not hang. These programs are usually called only by pressing special hot keys.

Let's look at several spyware programs.

Real Spy Monitor

This program is perfect for several people to work on one computer with operating system WindowsXP.
