Any way to see what friends are typing before they press enter? by afroman499 on 02-27-2006 at 12:14 AM
Is there a plugin ( or is it even legal) to see what someone is typing to you before they actually press send? If not is anybody in the workings with this?

no because it just sends a packet saying they are writing, but they dont send what they actually write until enter is pressed

keylogging is illegal and you wont be given links on this forum.
but here is a definition

A keylogger is a type of surveillance software (considered to be either software or spyware) that has the capability to record every keystroke you make to a log file (usually encrypted). A keylogger recorder can record instant messages, e-mail, and any information you type at any time using your keyboard. The log file created by the keylogger can then be sent to a specified receiver. Some keylogger programs will also record any e-mail addresses you use and Web site URLs you visit.
Keyloggers, as a surveillance tool, are often used by employers to ensure employees use work computers for business purposes only. Unfortunately, keyloggers can also be embedded in spyware allowing your information to be transmitted to an unknown third party.

Keylogging isn't illegal per se: it's only illegal if it's used to invade privacy. When you think about it, Internet Explorer's AutoComplete is a sort-of keylogger, and that's perfectly legal (you can turn it off).

No need to throw the "illegal" term around so easily.

And btw, im sure this topic has been discusses way too many times in my time here .... i would recon about 4-5 times atleast

It has been brought up in the StuffPlug forums a few times. Frankly, I wouldn't mind such a plugin being made. I know of course both contacts would need to have it. But it would be a bit of a novelty I guess.
That's my two cents anyway

And in this case, the OP asks for a "keylogger" to see what the other user is typing. For this to work, the other user needs to install a plugin too. In other words, the other user knows that eveybody with the same plugin will see what he/she is typing. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing illegal about it...
in short:

As said by several people in this thread, this can be perfectly be done with an addon or plugin which need to be installed by the other person and you. In that case, both you and that other person will know about it.
He absolutely did not said "without the user knowing about it". He even didn't suggested it...
if you want to see what some one is writing before you type it you dont tell that other person im going to watch what you type before you send it to me. => is a conclussion which you can not draw just like that!!! If I want to see what the other person is typing as he types it, it does not automatically mean without him knowing about it.
