rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 How could I log all the activity between an ethernet peripheral and my computer. I realize there are ethernet data loggers but those are too expensive. Is there anyway I could use an ethernet to usb converter and attach a usb keylogger to that to capture the information. I really need help on this one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I sort of need it to run like a keylogger but instead of keys I need it to log data. I have a keylogger that I could just install the program onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 You have a key logger that uses dedicated fixed unchangeable hardware to log key strokes that you want to install a packet sniffer on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not necessarily. The hardware keylogger is nothing more than a regular USB thumbdrive essentially, with software installed to let it log keystrokes. Im looking for a packet sniffer that will automatically log the packets without me doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Its a regular USB keylogger, but the software can be deleted and new software can be installed on it just like a regular thumbdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 It's not going to work for two main reasons: 1. That device has fixed hardware for intercepting the key strokes 2. 4MB of memory is a joke of logging network traffic. 16GB is probably the minimum.

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Is there a hardware logger out there that is compact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The only device I could find that comes loosely close is this. I forgot to mention in my last post that despite the claims that those key stroke loggers are undetectable they actually aren't usually unless the manufacturer made them to be (and more expensive?) Usually you can spot them by either an additional USB ID been registered on the computer, or the keyboards ID is missing and been replaced by another ID, but this requires software that is actively looking for such changes.

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah, this one was a little more expensive and is almost invisible (it shows up as a texas instruments peripheral under the control panel). Im looking for something smaller. If I used a small external harddrive what programs would I need to install on it to log ethernet traffic?

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Sorry if it seems like Im asking too many questions, Im just fairly new at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 You could install Linux on a NSLU2 (for example), then in one USB port connect an additional Ethernet adapter and a hard drive to the other port. Then just bridge the two adapters. While such a device is feasibly undetectable in software, this isn't true. The computer that is connected through it would take a performance hit, perhaps not humanly noticeable, but with some simple timing tests the difference would be rather noticeable.

rsdbaby Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah, but if I installed the program on it then it would be programmed to log the data instead of log keys, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
