A new extension, KeyScrambler 1.1.1., protects you against known and yet unknown keyloggers at kernel level inside FF or Flock browser. To install it in XP SP2 you have to have admin-rights. Good idea with the new unpatched bugs around.
Now you have found it, and may never forget it, can use it for free. And if your boss allows you to install it (“Yo nie vida nada!”), you won’t be keylogged again, because at a kernel level “all your log-in strokes belong to us”.
Just a bit of Info if you download and run the KeyScrambler_Setup.exe file you are presented with a FF folder in the KeyScrambler folder containing a keyscrambler.xpi which is KeyScrambler 1.1.2 version, a new version than that displayed on the FF extensions Site.
Yes, to be absolutely honest, I feel this kind of application tends to say, “believe me, you cannot trust but me.” In any case, you have to trust any security application before giving up “a key to your system”. Maybe, it is just skepticism but I think it is fair of you to come up with that before installing any security app.
Have to do some little survey here, because I lost four key-functions after I installed the extension KeyScrambler 1.1.1. These keys were ~` and ’ and " They did not response anymore, when typing a message like this one on various forums, so KeyScrambler really scrambled some things real good under the hood (on the WinXP SP2 in FF). Got my keyboard functionality back now after uninstalling the extension.
So I gonna launch dependency walker, run a decent recompiler and various tools against it to get at the core of this, and then I report later, what happens at kernel level here. A security proggie that starts to toggle two keys on your keyboard, is a strange bedfellow…z’allgood, but with it I cannot write this.
It would be a good idea to also report this in the comments link for the extension, if you haven’t already done so. There are a few niggles reported in the comments but, none like this though.
