Abstract

Abstract. Keyloggers are used as a tools by attacker to steel user’s usernames and passwords in e-commerce, Social network, Mail service and etc. There are many security software for detecting keyloggers and some technique have introduce for dealing with them. In this paper we will show that keyloggers can be undetectable from security software. We will make a keylogger and then will change the structure of keylogger then test it against popular security software in the world. At final we will show that many security software cannot detect keyloggers. Our goal is to introduce this new challenge.
