I'm looking for ways to watch mouse and keyboard events on Windows, Linux and Mac from Python. My application is a time tracker. I'm not looking into the event, I just record the time when it happens. If there are no events for a certain time, say 10 minutes, I assume that the user has left and stop the current project. When the user r...
I'm trying to capture key presses so that when a given combination is pressed I trigger an event. I've searched around for tips on how to get started and the simplest code snippet I can find is in Python - I grabbed the code below for it from here. However, when I run this from a terminal and hit some keys, after the "Press a key..." st...
Whats a general purpose key logger that I can use to detect keys for debugging and testing purposes? Preferably, I can hit a record button and a stop button and it will display a text file with all keys pressed during that time. Obviously, it doesn't have to be a super stealthy logger which secretly emails a anonymous account every wee...
I'm trying to analyze my keystrokes over the next month and would like to throw together a simple program to do so. I don't want to exactly log the commands but simply generate general statistics on my key presses. I am the most comfortable coding this in python, but am open to other suggestions. Is this possible, and if so what python...

I am creating a keystroke logger for my personal interest, as well wanting to know how to capture and use them as functions (like key shortcuts). I got the code to learn how keylogger and GetAsyncKeyState() work: http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/index.php?showtopic=9931 I got it to run under Code::Blocks, but the weirdest things is that ...
If I am working in an application and I press key from keyboard, how can I capture that key (or string), including the source application's name, in C, under GNU/LINUX, in userland, without X11 :) Thanks. ...
I have a great idea about cheating on exams. My school uses very old IDE's ( think Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++ , and other 80's ones ), and the thing I'd like to do is this : start my program in the background intercept the keypresses, and instead of sending them directly to the screen, I'd like to read a character from a pre-configured te...
Hello all, I am new to BlackBerry App development. I want to be able to listen for keypress events whenever the BlackBerry (8900 in my case) is on and on all screens is this possible? If so, it would be great for someone to direct me in the right direction. I am already having a look at Interface KeyListener. import net.rim.device.ap...
Every security systems have its limits. I understand that hardware key logger cannot be beaten as it is connected to the hardware itself. Also it is not a concern at this point as most of the time it is used by programmers and ethical hackers to log themselves, on top of which most of the time cautious users will be able to visually iden...
I want to write a programme (in python) on Linux (Ubuntu Linux 9.10) that will keep track of how many key presses per second/minute I make. This includes normal letter keys, and control/shift/space/etc. Is there some way to hook into X so that I can say "when a key is pressed call this function?". Since I want to have this running in th...
I'm looking to record keystrokes and mouse positions while I'm in a browser window on various websites, but I'm not sure how to do this outside the SWING (or some other GUI) window. How can I record keystrokes when a different application's window is the one active? ...

Is it possible to write a key logger in Visual Basic.NET? Is this the right language to be using? So far, I've gotten a console app to read input and append to a file. 1)How can I make a .NET program "catch" all keyboard input? 2)How do I make a process not show up in Task Manager? This is not for a virus, but rather a parental contr...
I'm compiling a basic example (as much as using bare X could be simple...) using the X11's RECORD extension on the latest version of Ubuntu, and I'm getting the following error: RECORD extension for local server is version is 1.13 X Error of failed request: XRecordBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 135 (RECORD) Minor opcod...
In order to use SetWindowsHookEx in a GUI application, you usually want in the bottom line to have a function in your thread called whenever an event has occurred. So for instance if I'm making a software to show all keys being pressed on the system, I want that somehow my GUI app will have the function AddKeyToList(int vkeycode) called...
I'm writing my own simple key logger based on a script I found online. However, I'm trying to write a key command so that the logger program will close when this command is typed. How should I go about this? (Also I know it's not secure at all, however that's not a concern with this program) For example Ctrl + 'exit' would close the pro...
Hi All, I've written an app with a simple textbox which attempts to identify a user from their typing habits (interval between key presses, duration key is held, time between key strokes ie a->s is quicker than a->v for some users, shorter for others depending on typing style). It's far from perfect but it does correctly identify modera...
It logs the keys to textbox currently so its safe. PROBLEM The problem is when i run this at virtual machine, or my friends laptop, it hangs after pressing certain amount of keys(random).It runs perfectly fine in mine. http://i34.tinypic.com/29o1im8.jpg class GlobalKeyboardHook { #region Definition of Structures, Constants and D...
