Disclaimer
If you think you have a keylogger on your Mac, be afraid. Be very afraid. If someone who knows what they’re doing gets a hold of your baby for longer than a few minute, there’s no telling what they could do – finding a keylogger does not mean that is the only thing they’ve done. In fact, finding one is a good thing, because it tells you to back your media and documents and BURN that hard drive. Buy a new one. I’m not kidding. Also, change all your passwords, to EVERYTHING. And use real passwords. Please. Ok, now on the apps.
Some of this info was taken from http://mackeyloggerprotection.com/ (which looks like it was written to get hits about five years ago – and a bunch of other places – but I’ve found keyloggers are things that sixteen year olds and the French write when they’re angry or bored. Because the Mac actually is a really well made system, keyloggers are few and far between, but they do exist. Most of them are pretty stupid, and will stand out in the Activity Monitor like a sore thumb. Best bet though, simply reinstall your machine.
First run some antivirus stuff – I know I know, Macs blah blah blah, but it can’t hurt can it?
http://www.iantivirus.com has all of these guys on their threat list. It doesn’t explicitly state that it gets rid of them, but it would be odd to just list them… right?
ClamAV’s OSX port also should be worth a try – http://www.clamxav.com/
http://macscan.securemac.com/ MacScan also claims to be able to find this stuff… but who knows – I didn’t test it.
If you are simply paranoid, and think that a hacker has done something to you, you can install a outgoing TCP/IP monitor and see if anything is “phoning home” – Little Snitch (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html) is the easiest, and Tripwire (http://tripwire.darwinports.com/) works pretty well if you’re a Unix kinda peep.
LogKext (http://fsbsoftware.com/logKext.html)
This is the most common one used as far as I can tell. Its stealthy to an extent, but removable.
Verion 1.2
LogKextClient is used to uninstall your keylogger. Open logKextClient and use the command uninst to automatically uninstall logKext – so if you run “sudo logKextClient” and you get “sudo: logKextCient: command not found” you’re probably safe.
Version 2.1
Their manual states “A standalone script has been installed in your computer’s root directory that will uninstall logKext. It is called LogKextUninstall.command.” So a “locate .command” should give you a decent list.
Remove it:
Delete these files – see disclaimer
/System/Library/Extensions/logKext.kext
/System/Library/Filesystems/logKextDaemon
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/logKext.plist
/usr/bin/logKextClient
BlazingTools Perfect Keylogger for Mac (http://www.blazingtools.com/)
There is little to no documentation on this one. If anyone buys a copy and wants to rip it apart, please tell me. Thanks
Keyboard Spy 3.0 (http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/keyboardspy/Keyboard%20Spy.html)
Not particularly difficult to find or remove – look for “keyboardspy” in your activity monitor, or just look for the application of the same name – delete it and you’re done. I’d open it first to see where it is saving the log files (which it lets you name whatever you want) so you can delete those too.
Backtrack (http://www.modesittsoftware.com/Products/BackTrack/index.html)
Not really a true keylogger – it’s made for more ligitimate users wanting to track what they’re doing, but if someone thought you were pretty stupid, they might try it. Just look for a little revolver barrel icon in the system tray like in the pic.
TypeAgent (http://www.typeagent.com/index.html)
I only installed trial version… so I just did these two steps – but it showed up in the activity monitor.
1. Open the app from the applications folder. In the menu that pops up, there will be a button saying “Uninstall Type Agent”.
2. If it isn’t in the applications folder, go to your harddisk> library > Startupitems and delete the folder saying “TypeAgent”.
KeystrokeRecorder (http://www.campsoftware.com/products/ksr.htm)
KeystrokeRecorder will only work if you check the ‘Enable access for assistive devices’ checkbox located in the ‘Universal Access’ System Preference pane. Simply go to the ‘Apple Menu’, choose ‘System Preferences’, then click ‘Universal Access’ – if assistive devices is checked, be suspicious (unless you’re blind or deaf or something)
I got that idiotic “Barstool Economics” email today from my boss. My grandmother sent it to me a few days ago. I won’t go into what it says because you can find a million fucking copies on the interweb that will tell you how great a picture of our economic system is. My response to the email was as follows… it got a little off subject toward the end.
First off, check your sources,
- Summary of the eRumor
- This is an attempt to use a story to try to explain the complexity of taxes and tax cuts.
- The Truth
- The biggest question about this eRumor is not so much whether it’s an accurate picture of taxation as to who actually wrote it.
Got this of a rumors site:
The most recent version that has circulated on the Internet attributes it to David R. Kamerschen, a professor of Economics at the University of Georgia.
On his website, however, he denies that he wrote it and says he doesn’t know who did.
How his name got attached to it, he does not know.
Different version says it was written by another university professor, T. Davies of the University of South Dakota.
He too denies that he wrote it.
So its origins is still a mystery
Secondly, I could counter how childish and small minded this analogy is by writing a funny retelling of it, but why bother, lots of people have done the same thing already: some great ones collected here and here
Finally, saying things like “you’re a socialist” is not only silly, but not particularly well thought out. I am a socialist, and not offended by it – it’s not “un-american” or whatever other nonsense Fox tells you it is: America is a socialist country already. We have socialized infrastructure (roads, rails, ports, highways), city services like police, fire, medical rescue, we have socialized education (not great but better than not even being able to read) socialized military (a massive, juggernaut of a socialized system), socialized democratic process with elections, some socialized television, radio and communications, socialized healthcare in the forms of medicare and medicaid and protection care and socialized insurance systems for insurance companies, banks and now the freaking housing market, loan companies and anyone who plays golf with old W.
The only thing that is NOT socialized is higher education (which it kind of is) and health insurance for the middle class. I mean, name ONE thing that is not socialized that these “socialists” are screaming to take over. Fuck the post office, I don’t care, I want to know that when my friend gets hit by a bus, someone can pay for him to live, ’cause he sure as hell can’t afford health insurance.
The only thing that people think is un-American is, in reality, secularism. We don’t wan’ ‘em fags marryin’, it’ll desiccate married folk – we need our guns incase the government rises against us – muslims is evil an’ god loves football and hot dogs and apple pie and bombing brown people. (Yes, clinging to there guns and religion is right.)
I am getting sick and tired of being called un-American by right wing nutcase christian family members (who were born in places like Zimbabwe and haven’t even been US citizens as long as I have – fucking retarded) simply because I God is a fairy tale and I wish George W. Bush was.

Well, not that I don’t have enough to do at the moment but Steve, Casey and myself have started a little something called cultflicks.net. What it is at the moment is a review site for cult films, b-movies, old, terrible horror and science fiction films and nice long lists of things like the “worst movies ever” and “worst video game movies.” But wait! There’s more! We are going to be streaming a bunch of these cult movies as well. Yes my friends, we have gotten hold of a mass of old, weird horror, sci-fi and fantacy films from the 50,60s and even the 70′s and are going to be streaming them on the site the second they’re all reviewed – and it’s FREE!. Anyway, the ultimate goal is to build it up a little more on the content side, and then begin charging a nominal fee for the content that we will have to licence – but that’ll probably take some time. So, if you’re interested in writing a review on some of these terrible gems, you can download them of cultflicks.net, or just give me a call.
Does Marathon really think that painting a dolphin on the side of one of their giant petroleum storage tanks, which stink up half of South Tampa, makes them look like good guys? I know that the gas companies have a bad rap, deservedly so, but are they so out of touch that they think that this will fool anyone? And if it is some attempt at beautifying the area, or at least making the best out of a bad situation – trying to make the tanks look a little less terrible for the people who live down there – then it’s a pretty poor fucking attempt. They painted only one! Is that lazy? Stupid, disrespectful and evil more likely.
Brilliant!

Hmmm… pretty… I guess there are some benefits to having your car being in the shop, you can drink Audi’s free coffee, complain as to how useless the Reeves staff is, and touch the shiny new R8s. They have two, a 2008 and a 2009, no real difference on the outside… and they seem to be about $20,000 cheaper if you by them from the dealer because they have to sell them at MSRP (unlike the filthy Toyota dealers being allowed to charge a $3,000 “desirability” fee.) Oh well… my iPhone is not the worlds greats camera, but whatever.
Or dirty, filthy pinko Democrat.
