Keylogging in Linux (Part 2): Advanced Techniques in the Linux GUI and X Server

Why Advanced Keylogging Techniques Depend on the Linux GUIAdvanced keylogging leans on the Linux GUI because once a user signs into a graphical session, the input path stops being simple. The GUI decides which window receives focus, how toolkits interpret the keystrokes, and when events get redirected or buffered, so the attacker’s visibility changes. The hardware layer still shows the raw signal. It just doesn’t reflect how people actually work on a desktop, and that gap is exactly where more capable keyloggers operate.LinuxSecurity – Security ArticlesRead More
