is it possible to make keyloggers in turing. A keylogger is a program that records all the keys tapped by the victim and saves it in a log file and emails it on the address it is specified to using the default mail server. Well? is it poss? Question

Yes. Possibly.

But note:
- you cannot use hidden windows. Turing cannot accept input to a hidden window
- if you can make it so that it receives input even when the window is not selected...then you're on to something. Otherwise, try another language Wink.

You don't always need a window open though Wink

Invasion of privacy is not something to be taken lightly.

There is one way to get around the keylogger:
Click on Start -> Go to All Programs -> Click on Accessories -> Select Accessibility ->Click on On-Screen Keyboard
Executing the above steps opens a keyboard on the screen so that the user can click whatever letter he/she would like to type. Since a keylogger does not track where and what the user clicks, this helps to get around it in times of urgency.

This thread is long dead, and your response doesn't really answer OPs question either.

This solution might stop a simple keylogger. An attacker might track mouse clicks as well, though it's a larger hassle than to find a specific substring in a list of key presses. Seeing as this is the typical way users try to circumvent this issue though, I'd personally listen to all racket the user does with any process named osk.exe.

I've seen keyloggers that take snapshots on an on-screen keyboard press. They can also probably be picked up if the keylogger is sophisticated enough because it's just input. Anyways this thread is long dead.
