[QUOTE="tim one, post: 703894, member: 25920"] Possible, some keyloggers are essentially based on Windows hook WH_KEYBOARD_LL. This hook allows you to intercept low-level keyboard event generated by the user. By specifying an appropriate callback (as RawInputKeyboard), it is possible to hijack all the keystroke to this function, register it in memory and then pass them to the operating system. The keystrokes are recorded in a buffer dynamically grows depending on the amount of data received. [/QUOTE]
