keystroke logger for Mac OS X


  • Subject: keystroke logger for Mac OS X

I need to write a keystroke logger for Mac OS X. I am debating which
architecture to use. Can this be accomplished efficiently from user space or
would a KEXT be needed? It needs to be fast and efficient.

Ideally the logger will not impact system performance in any way. Also
ideally it should comply with the following:

- Runs under 10.5 and 10.4 would also be nice.


- Must log every keystroke typed to a file.


- Should capture the name of the app in which the keystrokes were typed.


- Should capture the title of the window in which the keystrokes are typed.


- Ideally the logger should use notifications rather than polling so that
the logger code only gets called when an actual keystroke happens.

Any ideas on what the best architecture would be to accomplish this?


Thanks,
