| I see many people accuse people who post offsite links of spreading a "keylogger". I would like you to explain what you think a keylogger is and how it functions. |

Keystroke logging, often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically covertly, so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored.[1] Keylogging can also be used to study human–computer interaction. Numerous keylogging methods exist: they range from hardware and software-based approaches to acoustic analysis.

A keylogger is a type of surveillance software (considered to be either software or spyware) that has the capability to record every keystroke you make to a log file.
Seems extremely interestingly interesting.. |

You enter a site, it can spread the keylogger virus, and now every key you type, is tracked by the person owning the virus.
So if i just entered some shady site and got the virus, they would see i just typed all this as i type
If you type your pw they would see it

| You can't get a keylogger just from visiting a website. You need to download and open an executable file. |
