Windows Hooker


Windows Hooker allows you to capture mouse and keyboard events from a PC in any Visual Studio programming environment. This dll wraps the Windows Hook API to read all of the incoming keyboard and mouse events, where it makes these events accessible throug a simple API. This software is similar to those seen in keyboard/mouse loggers.

Notes

  • ALL keyboard and mouse events will be captured including passwords you type into you bank account.
  • Windows Hooker is a early prototype tool that is provided 'as is'. While we would be happy to receive feedback, there are no resources to provide support and/or extensions to the existing system.
  • Windows Hooker is not related to the CEXI Toolkit.
  • This program was created by Edward Tse, and is based on the Spy program by Michael Boyle.
