Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting the presence of a key logger program that is executing on a processing device of an information handling system by inputting simulated keystrokes to an information handling system with known key stroke characteristic/s (e.g., quantity of keystrokes as a function of time, keystroke data size as a function of time, and/or keystroke values as a function of time), and monitoring to detect resulting system activity characteristics that match the known key stroke characteristic/s of the simulated key strokes.
