i am trying to implement a simple keylogger...
my code works fine and is able to detect simple keystrokes....
the problem that im experiencing is that whenever a key is pressed it remains pressed forever even after i release the key unless i press some key again...and if i try to move my mouse or use alt tab to move focus to another window then the entire operating system starts acting haywire...random stuff happens...random mouse clicks and random keypresses....
im using ubuntu...
#include<sys/io.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<signal.h>
int check(char c)
{
if (c==inb(0x60))
{
return 1;
}
else
return 0;
}
void exitting()
{
printf("Quitting");
exit(0);
}
int main()
{
int fail=0;
int status_code=0;
char c;
//signal handler
struct sigaction action;
action.sa_handler=exitting;
sigaction(SIGINT,&action,NULL);
//CHECKING PERMISSIONS
fail=ioperm(0x60,1,1);
if (fail==-1)
{
printf("Permission Denied");
return 0;
}
fail=ioperm(0x64,1,1);
if (fail==-1)
{
printf("Permission Denied");
return 0;
}
//populating keymap
char *asciit[127];
FILE *fp;
if((fp = fopen("us_km", "r")) == NULL)
{
printf("Error opening map file");
return 0;
}
int i;
for(i = 1; !feof(fp); i++)
{
asciit[i] = (char *)malloc(127);
fgets(asciit[i], 127, fp);
if(asciit[i][0] == '#')
{
i--;
continue;
}
}
char *temp;
//infinite loop
while (1)
{
status_code=inb(0x64);
if(status_code==20)
{
c=inb(0x60);
if(((int)c)<=128 && ((int)c)>0)
printf("Key Pressed : %s \n",asciit[c]);
//printf("Value of c is %c\n",c);
fflush(0);
temp=asciit[c];
status_code=0;
}
while(check(c))
{ }
usleep(100);

return 1;
