Key logging as the name suggests is the way of recording every key pressed on a keyboard. It is tracking the key strokes in a manner that the users does not come to know or are unaware that they are being monitored . Key logging can be done both by the means of software or hardware . Software based keylogger needs to be installed on the victim’s machine to monitor the strokes and hardware based needs to be attached to the CPU .
Remote Keylogging : This is a technique with an added feature that allows access to the recorded data by a key logger from a remote location . Or in an easy language , the data can be seen without being on the victim’s machine . This can be achieved through following ways.
Data can be uploaded to a website, database or an FTP server.
Data is periodically emailed to a pre-defined email address.
Data is wirelessly transmitted by means of an attached hardware system.
