KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module

The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module is an ultra-small USB keylogger module, only 0.5" (12 mm) in length and 0.6" (16 mm) in width. Extremely well disguised, it can be accessed as a USB flash drive for instant data retrieval.

Quick installation

The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module is very easy to install inside any USB keyboard. Open the keyboard, connect power and the D+ and D- signals from both sides, and you're ready to go. The installation process can be completed in 15 minutes.

Size

The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module is 0.5" (12 mm) in length and 0.6" (16 mm) in width, making it easy to mount in literally any USB keyboard.

Reliability

Passively monitoring a USB bus for keystrokes is a complex task, and the KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module does this better than any other solution on the market. The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module implements a 32X waveform oversampling algorithm based on a sophisticated FPGA chip. This makes it a top-performer in terms of reliability, with a zero character drop-rate. It works with wireless keyboards (excluding some Bluetooth models), keyboard with integrated hubs, and all types of barcode scanners (including those with a fast keystroke generation speed).

Ease of use

The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module is as easy to use as all it's predecessors in the KeyGrabber family, being best-sellers since 2005. Accessing data requires pressing a predefined key-combination known only to the owner. The KeyGrabber Forensic Keylogger Module has a few models varying by memory capacity, however even the entry-level 16 megabyte version is an equivalent of years of typing.

The Pro version

The Pro version is a multi-role security and pen-testing device. It works as a keylogger, but can also be switched to keystroke generation mode. Operating as a HID device it can generate a text-menu, making access to memory and configuration options more convenient. Moreover, it can also run keystroke-injection scripts thanks to a keystroke parser based on a simple scripting language. This makes it a perfect penetration testing tool, combining the functionality of a hardware keylogger and HID injector in a single slick device.

Important Legal Notice

The usage of a keylogger is fully legal as long as a clear notice is displayed, informing the user of the monitored equipment about the presence of a keystroke logger. We encourage the use of this equipment only for the purpose of monitoring your own computer, especially for protecting children against online hazards. It is NOT LEGAL to use a keylogger for the purpose of intercepting third party data, especially passwords, banking data, confidential correspondence, etc. If in doubt, please seek legal advice before using a keystroke logger. A good starting point is the U.S. Department of Justice Letter on Keystroke Monitoring and Login Banners, according to which a clear notice should be displayed, warning that user keystrokes may be logged.

Keyboard compatibility limitations

The device will work with almost all types of physical USB keyboards (it won't work with internal laptop keyboards). It works fine with wireless keyboards, with exception of Bluetooth keyboards. It won't work a few types of keyboards with built-in high-speed USB hubs (primarily Apple A1243 and Dell KB522), for which the Mac/MCP series should be used. Support for some gaming keyboards is not fully guaranteed, as they often use proprietary protocols.
