Actions Monitor

Actions Monitor is a Windows based application designed to monitors display and save all file system activity on a system. It is a Windows based application which records all file system actions which have been executed and allow saving it to text file for further analysis. It is a program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack. For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user.0
