Too much Apple bashing posts for me for 1 day: Apple Keyboard Keylogger!!!

Q8GEEKApple, Exploring Computerism, FUN!, Hacks, Mac, RAND(), SECURITEEH!!!

I’ve seen quite keyloggers (Specially those Microsoft Wireless Keyboard ones), but this is just plain awesome!!

Some guy knew Apple keyboards has 8K of flash memory and 256B of RAM, so he figured “Why not install the keylogger in that firmware?”… Which he did…

As explained in the link at the bottom, the hack is very effective… It can even effect the built-in keyboard since it’s USB-based… Formatting the computer won’t do any good since it’s in the keyboard’s firmware… Re-flashing the firmware would do, but it’s an annoying job…

I might’ve explained things inaccurately, so click here to read the related SemiAccurate related article.
