2. Introduction to Key logging
• When you use your system for personal
purposes like those of checking you bank
statement, logging into your social profile
etc. you simply type your credentials on
your keyboard.

3. Introduction to Key logging( Contd.)
• In order to reach the destination point, the
typed element, i.e your keystrokes travel a
path from the operating system to the
destination application.
• For example, to view your bank statement,
you type the username and password on the
keyboard which travel from your system to
the concerned bank server, where they get
verified and access is granted to you.

4. What’s Keylogger?
• Keylogger is a kind of surveillance system
which is used by the Cybercriminals to gain
access of user’s personal information.
• They do this by putting the Keylogger over
the traveling path of your data strokes and
destination points.

5. The working
• It starts from a data log file that the
keylogger creates from the keystrokes sent
by the user.
• This file then used by the Cybercriminals to
misuse user’s identity, access his bank
accounts to steal money, or perform other
malicious activities.

6. How to defend against keyloggers
Method 1:
Always use a firewall to protect your system
from such keylogging activities. If you haven’t
any, install it right now.
One more thing that you can do avoid such
data losses is choose the highest security
setting for your system.
Doing so, all programs will need a permission
from you before running and you can get a
hold on the program execution better.

7. How to defend against keyloggers(Contd)
Method 2:
Install an anti-virus and an anti-malware
program on your system. This will help you
scan your system for malware threats.
Do not forget to update the software regularly.

8. How to defend against keyloggers(Contd)
Method 3:
Download and install a program that encrypts
your keystrokes.
Encryption is a process in which the keystrokes
sent through your keyboard get encrypted in
the form of codes( a blend of numbers and
alphabets), before leaving your system
peripherals.
Doing so, your data will remain secure even
after it gets locked by the keyloggers.
