Key Logger for LINUX UBUNTU.


I am searching for a keylogger for Ubuntu Linux. Finally I found it in sourceforge.net. Here are the simple steps for keylogger in ubuntu

What is Keylogger?

Keystroke logger is the practice of noting (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. There are numerous keylogging methods, ranging from hardware- and software-based to electromagnetic and acoustic analysis.


keylogger in Linux
We have an opensource software available for Linux called lkl (Linux Key Logger).
LKL is a userspace keylogger that runs under linux–x86/arch. LKL sniffs and logs everything passes trought the hardware keyboard port (0×60).
