RamHook

Large businesses usually keep employees under surveillance in order to prevent leaks of important information. This can mean security cameras, or even simple computer applications that record all kinds of activity, sending periodical reports to a central database or administration. In this regard, RamHook wants to help you out and record all keyboard buttons pressed and automatically saved to a log file.

Just so it proves a point, the application doesn’t need to be installed on the target computer, being able to run even from a USB flash drive. As such, registries remain intact, and it can’t be located in the list of installed programs. However, .NET Framework needs to be installed on the target computer for proper functionality.

The main window stores all of the functions you get to work with, even if you only need to configure them once. The application can be made to run with Windows, and even set to start in a hidden mode, so that it’s difficult or impossible to detect.

All buttons you press on the keyboard are recorded in real time, and saved to a log file. The log can be automatically uploaded to a custom file server by specifying the corresponding address, as well as a refresh and upload interval in seconds. What’s more, even virtual keyboard buttons are recorded, so it can’t be easily bypassed.

General options give you the possibility to append log file, so you only have one large log, and even record all keys in uppercase. Additional security measures can be taken, and the application supports custom keywords that can be used to hide and show the main window, close the program, upload log, or flush the cache.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that RamHook is a practical surveillance application that can be used to monitor unsuspecting individuals. It comes in a lightweight package, with options to make it automatically start and record, and even run in a stealth mode to make it difficult to identify by others.
