I wonder if this will start another debate?
Personally, I still believe there are a number of legitimate uses,
but I'm sure this post will be censored like the rest.
:(

dont worry, this would fail as a keylogger. the code isnt case sensitive so if password was HeLLo it would be found as hello or HELLO

While they can and are used maliciously, there are in fact many legitimate uses for keyloggers, including but not limited to:

    - Parental control
    - Company IT policy enforcement
    - Personal, no-hassle keystroke backup


Besides, the code itself is not only trivial, but easily detected. In my opinion, anyone who is able to adapt this code to be able to hide from the average user would also be able to make a much more sophisticated version of this script.

I realize that scripts in this category are negatively impacting AutoHotkey's reputation in the eyes of AV companies, but this script is completely harmless (also my opinion of course).

Don't be sorry, ATom1234;
And don't be deterred from posting in the future, either;
Next time just post a more robust, less controversial script.

It should be noted that this code doesn't even work effectively.

Anyone who types faster than 12 words a minute will notice that many characters are dropped from between calls to Input. AHK would need to store a key buffer that can be accessed on demand.

Anyne wo tpes fstr tan 2 wodsa mnut ill oice tatmanhaate redroped from tween clls o Input. AHK woldeed o ore key buer ha can accssdonem.

I know, i have better version, which works on 100% and it is more effectively, but it is jet really keylogger and it is illegal.

I'm going to say this one time. And there will be no argument.

Key Loggers are not illegal. Just the same as Guns are not illegal. Telephone recording devices are not illegal.

Can they be used for illegal purposes? definitely. However, they are not illegal, nor should any software be made illegal.

Personally, I have a keystroke logger that was originally written for nefarious purposes, running on my computer right now. It has saved my ass at least twice on important assignments that I wrote and were lost due to windows crashing. I pulled up the key logs and was able to quickly reconstruct my paper. More often though, it helps me reconstruct emails and blog comments that get lost due to server connection failure (when you hit the back button, your 1000 word rant is gone!)

Every computer should have one.

Any chance you could share your code with me Raccoon? I'm already using some free version of a third party keylogger called Revelear, but if I can incorporate your code with my personal ahk script I'd surely use it and free up some system resources om the process.

I'll consider writing a library for LL_KeyboardHook

The anti-logger comments can be found on just about every post on the forum regarding keyloggers... my 2 cents - I'm building a macro recorder and logging the keys is a legitimate use and thanks to the posts on the forum I was able to put together what I was looking for.

F*** Censorship - keep on posting :-)
