Comment on Linux terminal keylogger in userspace

Comments

Isn't is curious when OS's don't keep track of non-system software ... when it's installed, what process installed it, whether that process was under local control, any other info to indentify the source ... and to list that information on demand any time any user wants it?

What's up with that? It's as though we're happy that we can be infiltrated at any time. It's not like people don't put weeks and months into "me-too" websites ... but there's never been any major motion in the direction of making the existence of surreptitious mods available at a key-click?

Such apps may exist, but I've never run across one for any platform explicitly designed to help anyone root out what's been installed without their knowledge. It CAN'T be that hard. Link it up to an open online knowledge-base that will nix false flags ...
