My boss wants me to find a key stroke recording machine LOCK PLEASE

THEPAIN73

No not for the company but for his children.

Such as:

When they IM, facebook, and myspace.

Any cheap solutions.

He asks me because I am a techy type guy.

I heartily advise linking him to meatspin and telling him once the counter reaches 500 it will show him the program.

Good luck with that situation.. jesus. Id really just play dumb.

Good know there is a boss out there willing to bring you in on the journey that is parenting.

I think this may help you out and it's free.

Don't get involved in this. Play dumb.

matt has a problem

He just wants a keylogger, here's a pretty big list - http://www.keyloggers.com/bigbrother.html And no, he won't be breaking any laws.

Mike Danger

Some cursory Googling turned up this.

I wouldn't touch this...at all. Even WITH a metaphorical 10' pole. It just spells disaster.

Spying on his kid's personal life. What a great dad. Don't help him.

I don't know why everyone is so worried about this. The boss is talking about using a keystroke logger on his own personal equipment, at his own personal place of residence, to monitor what his children are doing when they get on the Internet. Would you all have this man force his children to sign a document declaring no right to privacy? Not only is this a smart thing to do, and being a good parent, but there are actually more laws that the father could potentially break by not performing due care in providing his children a safe and monitored means of accessing teh Intarwebs.

I mean, for fuck's sake people, we're on teh Intarwebs.

eBlaster. $99 bucks and records everything

If he runs a virus scanner, make sure to add it to the exception list. I downloaded a few of them for a friend to try out on his kids as well and his virus scanner freaked out and flagged all of the programs as keystroke loggers, which, they obviously were.

Could be worth a shot.

I recall a hardware solution that would probably solve this little problem. It's basically just a little dongle that sits in between the keyboard and the computer and grabs the keystrokes as they're sent to it. It's obviously not free though.

Edit: Beated! Well, sorta.

The one I was thinking of was similar to this. It's by these guys though. They also offer a USB version.

Agreed. Which is why I have chosen to help him.

Looks like KGB free is perfect.

Lock this now.

Also one more thing. Someone should make a topic about this on D&D.

No because there is nothing to discuss. Parents can do what they want on their personal computers. Under 18? You have shit for rights. end of story.
