loggersKeystroke loggers for UNIX systems vary because each flavor of UNIX has it's own requirements and standards for the system to follow. Listed below you will find some UNIX keystroke loggers and information, if you have any you would like to contribute contact us. If the UNIX machine has a PS2 Keyboard you may concider the Hardware Keystroke logger as an alternative and definite way of recording keyboard activity of which keys are presses.

Many of the Rootkits for UNIX contain keystroke loggers, we won't link to them here since the rootkits are intended for backdooring a system and that is not what this site is about at all. When in need of a way to backup your keystroke activity you will turn to keystroke loggers and recording devices such as the ones listed on our site :)
