Re: keystroke logger for Mac OS X
You can catch all keyboard events with a KEXT, since your operating in the kernel youll catch events that go to password fields as well. If you want you can even inject or modify events. See IOHIKeyboard's _keyboardEventAction hook. http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:gFhW3FJ3xlgJ:src.gnu-darwin.org/DarwinSourceArchive/expanded/IOHIDFamily/IOHIDFamily-86/IOHIDSystem/IOHIKeyboard.cpp+iohikeyboard+_keyboardeventactionhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=usclient=safari On Oct 13, 2008, at 6:16 AM, apple apple wrote: 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?

Hi,
There are a couple of ways to definitively test for a hackintosh.
You could look at the IO Registry for unusual hardware
configurations. But as it happens, the latest Hackintosh kernels all
use custom Machine Type strings. So you can test to see if it's one
of the known Mac models, and if it isn't you can assume it's
probably a Hackintosh.
Unfortunately, this breaks if future Macs introduce new Machine Type
strings, which is almost certain. You'll notice I'm not testing for
AppleTV, for example, because I don't happen to know its string.
The following is what I use in TabletMagic to detect a TabletPC :
- (BOOL)detectHackintosh
{
SInt32 gestaltReturnValue;
BOOL is_known_mac = NO;
if (!Gestalt(gestaltUserVisibleMachineName, gestaltReturnValue))
{
char *known_machines[] =
{AAPL,iMac,PowerBook,PowerMac,RackMac,
Macmini,MacPro,MacBookPro,MacBook};
StringPtr pmach = (StringPtr)gestaltReturnValue;
int i, len = pmach[0];
char *machine_string = (char*)malloc(len+2);
strncpy(machine_string, (char*)pmach[1], len+1);
for (i=sizeof(known_machines)/sizeof(known_machines[0]); i--;)
if (!strncmp(machine_string, known_machines[i],
strlen(known_machines[i]))) { is_known_mac = YES; break; }
free(machine_string);
}
if (is_known_mac)
{
// delete the tab having identifier 6
[ tabview removeTabViewItem: [ tabview tabViewItemAtIndex:
[ tabview indexOfTabViewItemWithIdentifier: @6 ] ] ];
}
return !is_known_mac;

At that point, I would argue, the harm to that one user far outweighs any minor, undetectable gain you could possibly get from such a scheme. One issue that we have is that we get a lot of support for our products from people who are running our software on Hackintosh's and they aren't usually up front about that fact. They end up wasting our time when it turns out the problem they've got is because they're running on a Hackintosh.

Re: Rerouting keyboard input
Take a look at the darwin-dev lists. You could reroute the keyboard events in kernel space to go to your daemon instead of its typical path to user land. Then have your daemon send the events over the network to a daemon on a 2nd computer, then have the 2nd daemon reinject them to your target system. Take a look at the IOHIKeyboard class, it is easily hookable. It isnt too different to do the same with mouse events as well.

Re: hooking into another app
You reply couldnt be more fanboi-ish. If that wasnt enuf you have a documented history of being a apple fanboi (http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/hallofshame/line-noise_offended-pimpdouche.txt ) Not once was it suggested that the OS isn't open to this sort of attack. You yourself said that the OS is resistant against this sort of attack in the following quotes: Well, password fields are special and are 'resistant' to key logging, but you don't have to 'hook into' any apps to log the rest. Understood - in this case, it's unsupported system hack time, since the Mac OS X world takes a different approach to security which means you have to work a bit harder. Not once did the OP ask for a 'feature', and not once was the OP criticized for asking for a way to do what he wanted. The OP asked if such a feature existed, directly implying that if it did not, then it would be a desired feature. Although you didn't criticize him, Thomas Davie did with the following reply: Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds a lot like something that has been very very deliberately left out of any API... I want to write an app that I'd like to have hook into a text box in Safari and log your IDs, passwords, and bank account status. Several different approaches to the (very loosely defined) problem were offered by many different posters, in fact. The OP's request couldn't be more straight forward. He said he wanted to hook into a text chat window from another app so that I can log the incoming messages. I dont know what could be confusing about logging text that is displayed in a text field, perhaps you could elaborate on how this was confusing. Either you're confusing this with another thread or you're trolling for 'apple fanboy security' flamewars. Stick to Cocoa discussion on the cocoa-dev list, please. So im the troll huh? Which is why i'm posting with my real name instead of a pseudonym like yourself. I suppose my post wasnt directly Cocoa related, but it still dealt with OS X development, albeit at the kernel level. If you would have bothered to check the email headers, you would have seen that my message was sent with Apple Mail, which would further reduce the likely hood of being a troll. And finally if you would have bothered to google my email address you would find plenty of posts on the darwin-dev lists critizing Apple's lack of support for function hooking. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
