Question

Suppose you want to use an Internet cafe to login to your personal account on a bank web site, but you suspect that the computers in this cafe are infected with software keyloggers. Assuming that you can have both a web browser window and a text editing window 218 Malware open at the same time, describe a scheme that allows you to type in your userID and password so that a keylogger, used in isolation of any screen captures or mouse event captures, would not be able to discover your userID and password.

Answer 1

Copy and paste the needed information from text editor to clipboard then to the web browser.

Step-by-step explanation:

The keylogging software is an application that can connect to the keyboard API through software APIs or could be kernel based or hypervisor based, JavaScript based etc, to capture keyboard events.
