Where's the source, Faustine?
Tell you what: why don't you learn assembler, rip it open with whatever the "purist" equivalent of IDAPro is (http://www.datarescue.be/downloadfreeware.htm) and and have yourself a ball. Seriously.
Why would anyone concerned about personal security want to use something like this?
Because the technology behind it is interesting and it addresses a problem associated with detecting keyloggers in a unique way.
For all anybody knows, this was put together by some of your friends in NSA to lull the sheeple with fake security audits -- or maybe it finds key loggers, just not the ones the feebs install.
For all anybody knows, you're a federal feeb behind a remailer trying to suss out exactly what I know and don't know about keystroke loggers. But how likely is that.
Besides which it only runs on shitty M$-OS, nobody who is even the slightest concerned (and has clue) would trust that. If it aint linux, and ain't opensource, it ain't shit.
That's arguable. But don't forget that a lot of people have to use Windows at work. I think HookProtect is better than nothing.
Building something like this seems like a very cpunkerly thing to do
Have fun! ~Faustine.
