Question

I need an invisible Keylogger... a good one, relatively inexpensive

I saw on another forum Perfect Keylogger for Mac... however, when I search apple.com for "keylogger" there isn't anything... is apple agains them or something?

Please help...

If you know of a FREE one that's even better.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Yeah, I have searched the internet : ) But aren't there certain programs that you want to avoid that could contain spyware or be malicious? Plus, I want a good one that is very user friendly and easy to understand. I figured that if Apple.com sold them they are probably good ones--meaning they don't have any spyware or viruses.

I'm just wondering why Apple.com doesn't have them on their site...

Thanks

I'm sure it is for a good reason but in my mind the very definition of a keylogger is "spyware."

Not sure if these are up to date anymore but worth a shot.

If you need further help I suggest you ask on TSF (mac shadows forum) good help there for such things...

Not necessarily. Apple states on its software download website:

"Apple is providing links to these applications as a courtesy, and makes no representations regarding the applications or any information related thereto. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the applications must be directed to the appropriate software vendor."

I'm just wondering why Apple.com doesn't have them on their site...

Put your request in writing to Apple's Headquarters.

Your best bet might be to just look for online reviews or see if they provide trial versions for you.

Hi Melissaneedshelp:

I have used logkext. It is free, that is good, but it won't grab passwords if they are hidden when you
type.

The most reliable ones are the hardware type.

The latest and the most affordable Mac keylogger (and pretty safe one) is located at www.blazingtools.com/mac_keylogger.html
It's called Perfect Keylogger for Mac and it records keystrokes, chats (both ways), websites, screenshots and more, supports email , FTP etc.
I believe you won't find another Macintosh keylogger with so many features for $35, others are priced $70 and more, and really not always worth that.

OK, so I guess what I am asking for is some first hand experience of a keylogger program... Has anyone used one on a Mac that they found satisfactory?

Keybag.app is a good one that I am currently using. Like all keyloggers, it won't log passwords on Safari. It logs passwords on firefox though.

Try ProteMac KeyBag - it's one of the recently released keyloggers. I like this one, as it has many additional features in comparison to other keyloggers.
