Macintosh Keystroke Loggers
Keystroke
Recorders to Capture Keyboard Activity for the Macintosh (Mac, Mac OS X)
 The Macintosh platform
has many different keystroke loggers available
for download, some are freeware, shareware and then the few that are
commercial. Learn this Operating System these Keystroke recorders are
compatible with, such as 7.5, 8.0, 9.0, 9.2 and Mac OS X. Many of the
favorites of the keystroke loggers used for many years by MacUsers
became unusable upon the release of Mac OS 9 when the OS changed the way
it managed resources.
The programs listed in this section will
capture keystrokes and log them to text file somewhere on the hard
drive, details are included in each description. Apple users have used
keystroke loggers for many purposes, the Macintosh is a easy system to
get used to but like any system they crash, and if the keystrokes are
logged then you can obtain the text typed before the crash.
Remember to use keystroke loggers responsibly, there are laws
and rules that souround the use of them be advised of the uses and keep
everyone aware that the activity is being logged. Keystroke
loggers are not Mac Viruses
they are Mac Spyware.

The keystroke loggers for the Macintosh are compressed to save space and
make file transfer quicker over the Internet. To decompress the files
you will need Stuffit Expander. For those who are wondering, these files
can not just be attached to a e-mail to infect someone so dont try - it
has to be installed locally on the computer and you must have
permission so do not try to infect Mac Users.
Mac OS X also has keystroke loggers for it and because the system is
UNIX oriented many UNIX backdoors can effect the system to record
keystroke logging, to check for keystrokes and other spyware download a
copy of MacScan today, it
works for Mac OS and Mac OS X to detect, Isolate and remove Spyware
including keystroke loggers.
