Yes their is. A simple keylogger tool placed on your pc to grab the actual keystrokes. I know that this can be done via a small device placed as an adapter between your keyboard cable and your PC and it should be possible to make an software solution also. The hacker places the keylogger software on your machine and retrieves the logfile with the password in plain text later. If you are handy with electronics and have the right knowledge, you can tab the keystrokes form outside your home with an antenna and an oscilloscope, I have seen it done Regards Kim Guldberg CPSA ------- Lets say I now have an extremely good password that would take NSA 200 years to crack. Assuming that my XP box is physically safe from others accessing it, is there a way for Joe-cr/hacker to quickly obtain my password without having to run a crackware? Backdoors that exploit software bugs need only install the proper patches but are there any exploits that take advantage of the nature of hardware/protocol/architecture itself? ----- _________________________________________________________________ Have fun customizing MSN Messenger - learn how here! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_customize ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Ethical Hacking at InfoSec Institute.
