How to Protect yourself from Keyloggers using Keyscrambler
KeyScrambler encrypts your keystrokes in the kernel and decrypts
it at the destination application, leaving Keyloggers with
indecipherable keys to record. For your personal office, family, and
business, KeyScrambler adds a reliable layer of defense.
When you try
do something online, for example access your checking account on your
bank's website, your keystrokes will travel along a path in the
operating system to reach the destination application. Many places along
this path, malware(keyloggers and Rats or simply keyboard hookers) can be physically or remotely installed by hackers to log your keystrokes so they can steal your user name and password and this is really a very dangerous threat.
How does key Scrambler Work?
Any Idea, yes most of you might know that but today i will disclose the internal details of key scrambler step wise.
Actually any key scrambler works in three basic steps namely: Encrypt Keys, Bypass Malwares like keyloggers, rats or keyboard API hook programs and at last decrypt keys. I have explained the steps in detail below:
1.
As you're typing on the keyboard, Key Scrambler is simultaneously
encrypting your keystrokes at the keyboard driver level. Because Key
Scrambler is located in the kernel, deep in the operating system, it is
difficult for keyloggers to bypass the encryption.
2. As the
encrypted keystrokes travel along the crucial path, it doesn't matter if
they get logged, or whether the keyloggers are known or brand new,
because your keystrokes are completely indecipherable the whole time.
3.
When the encrypted keystrokes finally arrive at the destination app,
the decryption component of Key Scrambler goes to work, and you see
exactly the keys you've typed.
Few misconceptions about key scramblers:
1.
Key scrambling is not key stroke obfuscation. Actually key scrambler
uses cryptography (namely state-of-the-art cryptography) for encryption
and decryption which makes it a reliable defense against keyloggers and
api hookers.
2. Key scrambler does not depend on type of keylogger or
signature of keylogger. But some advanced keyloggers nowadays bypass
key scramblers too, so never rely completely on key scramblers.
Note my word: " Prevention is better than cure", so keep yourself protected and avoid being prey to any such noobish trap.
There are lots of key scramblers available in the market but i have
chosen key scrambler pro for you guys, as i found it to be the best:
