Editing Keystroke logging (section)

==== Related features ====
Software keyloggers may be augmented with features that capture user information without relying on keyboard key presses as the sole input. Some of these features include:

* Clipboard logging. Anything that has been copied to the [[Clipboard (software)|clipboard]] can be captured by the program.
* Screen logging. [[Screenshot]]s are taken to capture graphics-based information. Applications with screen logging abilities may take screenshots of the whole screen, of just one application, or even just around the mouse cursor. They may take these screenshots periodically or in response to user behaviors (for example, when a user clicks the mouse). Screen logging can be used to capture data inputted with an on-screen keyboard.
* Programmatically capturing the text in a [[GUI widget|control]]. The [[Microsoft Windows]] [[Application programming interface|API]] allows programs to request the text 'value' in some controls. This means that some passwords may be captured, even if they are hidden behind password masks (usually asterisks).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb761584(VS.85).aspx|author=Microsoft|title=EM_GETLINE Message()|access-date=2009-07-15|publisher=[[Microsoft]]}}</ref>
* The recording of every program/folder/window opened including a screenshot of every website visited.
* The recording of [[Web search query|search engines queries]], [[instant messenger]] conversations, FTP downloads and other Internet-based activities (including the bandwidth used).
