| |
Hi.
More than 2 years ago I wrote a small non-portable patch [1] to gather some statistics about keyboard usage[2] ( I show the counters with modulo 10 but still this is a security risk. Perhaps some random noise should be added ).
[1] http://svn.arhuaco.org/svn/src/pcgotchi/trunk/proc-keystrokes.patch.linux-2.6.12.2.txt [2] http://pcgotchi.blogspot.com/2005/10/11140-times.html
I liked to use this in my PC but stopped using this because I didn't want to compile whenever I upgraded Kernels (Debian).
I thought I had already asked in LKML as suggested by Blaisorblade[3], but I did ask in kernelnewbies instead[4].
[3] http://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02168.html [4] http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/2006-05/msg00367.html
My questions are:
* What should I read to do this in a module? * Is there a better way to to this? (perhaps using /dev/input/... and a user-space program) ?
Regards, Nelson.-
PS: I don't wish to write a keylogger. I really want the statistics and you are screwed if someone gets to be root in your machine anyway.
