Detect global Keyboard Hook in C3

votes

It's incredibly easy to write Key-loggers in many languages. It makes me a little nervous because these small, unknown viruses won't get detected by most(read: all) antivirus'.

I'm curious how to detect if some process grabbing these keys. I want to know what process is reading my input at any given point. Kind of a Key-logger-logger.

Any program with enough privilege to install a keylogger can also attack your app and patch the call to the "detect a keylogger" API. - Raymond Chen
I'm sure that's possible and that will be my next step. Currently though I'm still searching for a way to catch keyboard hook. If you could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. - Xnu17
You will have to have more privilege than the keylogger. If you have the same privilege as the keylogger, then the keylogger can attack you. - Raymond Chen
@RaymondChen That's true. It's also not a problem. I will deal with persistence later, I already have a few ideas. Currently I still just need a way to detect the hook. - Xnu17
Have you figured this out yet? - Michael Z.
