Description

Around mid of 2005, I was a bit intrigued to write a proof-of-concept (PoC) keylogger to capture text input events fired using Virtual Keyboards (VK). The PoC keylogger was publicly released on 5th Aug 2005 to demonstrate the hack for a particular banking site. However, this PoC underlines the fact that any site which uses similar VK or OSK can be defeated. This paper was publicly released by Hakin9 magazine in their Nov 2007 issue and as per the contract I was allowed to publish the free copy after six months of their release.

Between 2003 till 2005, Security Information Management (SIM or SEIM) products were new for the industry and was in the start-of-the-art stage which has evolved significantly over time. Back then, I was quite intrigued by such products which got me write a paper on it. This whitepaper was originally published on Wipro Technology's website while I used to work for Wipro. However, the official link to the paper is currently broken, therefore, making it available here.
