Abstract
A kernel based detection of keyboard logger applications is achieved by configuring a call interface to the kernel to characterize a system call pattern for processes accessing a keyboard. A monitor thread iteratively examines a plurality of threads to test open( ), read( ), write( ), and syscall( ) system routines for conditions indicative of presence of a keyboard logger application. A thread whose system call pattern is characterized by such conditions is marked as a keyboard logger.
