SV: XP backdoors

["Kim Guldberg" <kim () bufferzone dk>]

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

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?
