Can wireshark be used as a keystroke logger for devices connected by wifi across the network asked 25 Nov '13, 06:34  nathaniel |
One Answer:
Keystrokes are primarily transmitted between your keyboard and the chipset on your motherboard (keyboard controller). There are only a few protocols where you actually transmit keystrokes over the network. That's mainly remote access methods where you actually log into a remote system, like telnet, ssh, RDP, etc. In those cases, you will be able to record the traffic that transmits the keystrokes but most of the protocols use encryption (except telnet), so you won't be able to identify single keystrokes, as you won't be able to decrypt the traffic (in most of the cases).
