Be Careful With The Black Device

[dexlimp]

After minutes of researching I found this one:

ThinkGeek :: Key Katcher

It costs $60. Only works with the older Keyboards to PS2. But with the current technology today, who uses PS2 anyways? Most of the newer boards today don't even have PS2. Plus this kind of attack is expensive, not even practical.

To stage this attack, you have to replace the keyboards sa imong target computer which can be really obvious and noticeable on a public area. Mismong pag-tangtang lang sa keyboard magduda na ang mga taw. They could call the cops and jail you for that.

if you see the link jiro posted..there's also a usb keylogger..so it supports newer keyboards or technology..and i don't think it's expensive pra sa mga culprit..coz they can get millions out of that small amount..and they cannot be traced easily..and they can also walk in public, no need to hide..

if replacing the keyboard ang imo concern..d mn sad cgro user ang mobutang ani..cgro common mogamit ani kanang mga net owners..so f mo replace cla sa keyboard or mobutang sa device d ra mag mind ang mga tawo sa palibot..

as i've said..warning ra ni akong pg start sa thread pra ma aware daan ang mga tg use ug net in public places..even ako, i find this one usefull kay tg gamit mn ko ug internet sa mga net cafes..just want to share it to everybody..

Basically thats just a piece of the issue dex. Let us use our common senses which have been laid down in our brains since 18.

IF you work on a REALLY crowded place you have to CONSIDER that there will be plenty of people who will use the Free Computer Usage. With the plenty of traffic around, do you think it is appropriate for people who use the computer will be allowed to plug in their devices? do you think it is right to leave the cookies of the previous user readable by the upcoming users? I guess the answer here is obvious. And since we're mentioning about Airports, Hospitals or even Hotels, I am sure they are not that dumb to take off priviledges such as installing new devices, even typical USB thumbdrives or even fancy USB keylogger wouldn't be installed. These establishments follow a strict standards regarding security. Because if they fail to follow such policies and standards, the goverment will sue them. And surely the victims will.

I do not wish to argue with you anymore and expand any further explanations if these spying stuffs come into our internet cafe's. But this I tell you, these gadgets are expensive, impractical, not even plausible for a distributed attack and is not even sold in the cou.ntry. And if these things are even deployed they wouldn't stay as long as 24 hours attached into the victim computer because these gadgets would only end up in the Lost-and-Found bucket.

Nothing personal here man. And im sorry for being a "I seem to be an expert in this subject" guy. Have a good day sir

i think personal has a point there, and also if you are a responsible net surfer and does online banking a lot, you would always keep in mind that doing such thing in public puter is a very bad idea.

Basically, dexlimp also has a point here especially to people who are not as techie as anyone of us here (does everybody know that there are hardware keyloggers?). Yet, the threat is not likely common in Public Internet but this could really happen if someone will ought to... and yeah this is just a piece of the issue. Anyways, thanks for the heads up!
