What is needed, seriously needed right now, is some good, open source surveillance dectection software. Something that would find key-logger software or hardware, something that would check your phone line thru your modem, maybe even could be used as a frequency analyzer with a usb or serial port "antenna" connection for laptops. I'm sure this would be a really good commercial hit. Especially if the price could be kept under $500.

A hardware keylogger doesn't exist in software and cannot be detected in software. A software keylogger will be somewhere on the interrupt chain that handles keystrokes, if it exists independently. This is *THE* spot where it would have to be planted for maximum coverage of all keystrokes starting right after bootup, and ought to be easy to detect. However, in both xwindows and microsoft windows, there are higher-level key handling routines that have 'hooks' which something can be attached to so that one application can detect keystrokes directed to another. These constitute independent sequences that would have to be checked, and that would be a bit harder. Bear

Try more like $50-100k...it will also require specific/special hardware, software alone is not enough. -- ____________________________________________________________________ natsugusa ya...tsuwamonodomo ga...yume no ato summer grass...those mighty warriors'...dream-tracks Matsuo Basho The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
