Hi,
I wanted to look at writing a key logger type
application. i.e. a tool that can detect and record
key stroke and mouse movements.
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions on how I can
do this.
thanks

I hope this doesn’t sound out of place, but you might want to provide
a little background on why you’re interested in such an application.

The NSA uses Ruby? 
A lot of businesses use keystroke loggers on all their PCs to track
usage.

If anything, I think that’s a more malicious usage than the one I
had in mind!
For Windows at least it looks like its done rather easily in C++ by
making a
.dll and attaching it to programs so it can catch and record all
keystrokes:

I imagine you could probably implement all that in Ruby by calling the
appropriate Windows libraries and rewriting that C++ in Ruby or
something to
that effect (That would be a Ruby N.'s assumption though, so it very
well
might be wrong).
