KeyPhantom Logs USB Keyboard Strokes

New USB hardware keylogger device from DesignREM will allow users to record up to two weeks worth of USB keyboard strrokes into its flash memory.

DesignREM earlier this week announced a new USB device which records full speed keyboard strokes from a USB keyboard. The KeyPhantom is available now for $199.

The KeyPhantom, according to DesignREM, works by connecting between a computer’s USB port and a USB enabled keyboard. As keystrokes are typed into the attached keyboard, the KeyPhantom records each and every one (up to around two weeks worth of typing) into its flash memory. A user can later retrieve the stored keystrokes by opening a text editor and logging into the device via a command which will bring up a menu of selectable access options.

“Journalists and writers have shown a particularly strong interest – the ability to record the last 3 years of typing in secure flash memory is proving to be an invaluable backup tool.” said Shane Tolmie, managing director of DesignREM.
