TESTIMONIALS FROM PC MAGAZINE
From: Matt
This is the best way to know what's really going on in your home. It ended
months of guesswork and bickering. In short, I suspected my live-in girlfriend
was talking with another man and I was treating her poorly because of it. It
wasn't until I got KEYKatcher that I realized she WAS talking to a man….about
obtaining a very delightful, well-thought gift for ME... It's the best money
I've spent in years.
From: Leanne
Buying KEYKatcher has been the best thing. I have suspected my partner of
infidelity for quite some time. Thanks to this brilliant product my eyes have
been opened to the person he really is (a total stranger) and how very little I
mean to him. The deception is over and I will now move on to a more valued
future.
From: Michael
Your product has saved my family. I was able to discover a hell of a lot going
on in my home, thank you.
How KEYKatcher Key Loggers Work:
The KEYKatcher keystroke recorder is a powerful tool which
provides valuable information about computer activities. It is very simple to
install and use.
KEYKatcher key loggers resemble a standard connector but
inside this key logger is a microcontroller and a FLASH memory. The
microcontroller interprets the keystrokes as they are typed and stores them in
the FLASH memory (for later review).
Installation: To install the KEYKatcher
all you need to do is plug it in between your keyboard cable and your computer
(see image). The KEYKatcher is ready to record the instant you plug it in.
Heat-shrink tubing is provided with each KEYKatcher so that you may attach the
unit to the keyboard cable creating a tamper-evident seal which cannot be
removed without your knowledge.
Retrieving Data: When you want to see
what's been recorded, simply open any word processing program (Microsoft WordPad
recommended) and type in your password. As soon as your password has been
correctly entered, a menu will be displayed on the screen. The menu gives you
several options, including: view memory, keyword search, and NETPatrol.
General Use: Applications range from
parental monitoring to business investigations to computer forensics. The
KEYKatcher works with any PC operating system. Since it stores keystrokes in a
FLASH memory, you can record on one computer, unplug it, then read it out on
another computer. This also means that no data will be lost in the event of a
power outage, which makes the KEYKatcher a great backup device. When you're
ready to see what the KEYKatcher has recorded, open your word processor, type in
your password, then choose the 'view memory' option. The KEYKatcher will 'play
back' every keystroke that's been recorded. If you're concerned with internet
usage, use the NETPatrol search function to identify all web addresses that were
typed.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Won't my children/employees just unplug the device? No. Not
if you have installed the tamper-proof seal (heat-shrink tubing) which is
shipped with each device.
Does the KEYKatcher work on a USB keyboard? No. It only works
on PS/2 keyboards. Older PC's which use the 5-pin DIN connector require an
adapter set. There is no adapter set which will allow USB operation.
How can I save the information that I have read out? Once the
information has been dumped into your word processor/text editor, save it as you
would any other file.
Why are some characters not stored, such as Control
characters? When the device is being read out, the characters are coming to the
computer just as if you had typed them. If the actual control character was sent
to the computer, it might trigger undesired events to occur within the host
program. These characters could be sent to the computer in a different form, but
would be of little use for the applications this product is designed for.
Could this device be used to restore a spreadsheet lost due
to a power outage/system lock-up? No. Many characters, such as up arrow, down
arrow, page up, and page down are not stored. Trying to re-play the key sequence
inside of a spreadsheet would lose most of the formatting information.
Why is the device not recording? The device has the recording
disabled, or the memory is full. To resolve this situation, either the recording
needs to be enabled through the menu options, or the device needs to be erased
through the menu options.
Why is my keyboard not working (characters do not appear on
screen)? The KEYKatcher device is not fully plugged in.
Why is nothing happening when I type the password? This could
be due to many reasons. (1) The password was not typed correctly; (2) There is
not a host program running (i.e. WordPad) (3) The password was not typed in
sequence with no mistakes and no backspaces.
How can I type in the password if I have made a mistake? Just
start typing the password in from the beginning. It is not necessary to
backspace over the error. Just start typing the password again, beginning with
the first character.
Will the KEYKatcher work if I plug it into the mouse port?
No. The KEYKatcher will only work if it is plugged into the keyboard port. The
keyboard and mouse port have the same connector, which can cause confusion. The
keyboard port is generally labeled with a picture of a keyboard and/or an orange
connector.
After selecting "View Memory", is there any way to stop the
full memory dump from occurring? No. If you really NEED to stop the KEYKatcher
from dumping its memory contents, unplug it from the back of the computer, and
re-insert it. It will not continue to send characters after it is re-inserted.
What happens when the memory fills up? The KEYKatcher will
stop recording. It will not begin recording again until the memory has been
erased (memory is erased through menu options). If you never check the device,
you are not really monitoring activity.
Why won't it work on an European (QWERTZ) keyboard? The keys
are re-mapped, so you must use the default password of 'kezkatch'.
Why won't it work on a French (AZERTY) keyboard? The keys are
re-mapped, so you must use the default password of 'keykqtch'. The Original
Hardware Key logger - No Software to install!
