LKL is a Linux-compatible, userspace keylogger created for the x86 architecture. It records keystrokes and can run undetected in the background to monitor user activity.
I recently got my hands on LKL, a keylogger software that is designed for the userspace of Linux on the x86 architecture. LKL is highly versatile and can sniff and log all keystrokes that are passed through the hardware keyboard port (0x60). This is a handy tool to keep an eye on employee or minor computer activity, just to keep our system's security in check.
To install LKL, I only needed to run the `configure' shell script on my system. This script assessed the variables required for compilation and created a `Makefile' in the project directory. Just a caution, running the script is time-consuming, but there are messages that display which features it is currently checking for.
Once the configuration was complete, I ran `make' and the software compiled, which completed the second step to install this software. For further quality assurance, I ran `make check' to enact and record any self-tests that accompanied the package. I then went on to the next step and ran `make install' considering it essential to install every program, data files, and documentation.
If an issue pops up and you want to put a fresh start, I was given the command "make clean" to remove any program binaries and object files from the source code directory. To remove any files `configure' created so that the package functions well on other types of computers, then type in `make distclean.'
Some updates were added in the latest LKL release, such as the kernel 2.6 PS/2 mouse bug, which has been fixed, and syslogd current date output has been included. These updates further enhance the surveillance system of the LKL package.
In summary, LKL is an excellent software package that is easy to install, use, and loaded with some great updates. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a little extra control over their computer activity monitoring.
