Hello.
I was just wishfully thinking about building an "anti-spyware keypad" for internet security against keystroke loggers, when you use a public computer to log-in to an important account, or if you may have adware, etc.
So I made a post in this forum....and "Transio" immediately replied with the basic code! So after some adjustments, I built this website:
"anti-spyware-keypad.com internet security site"
Some problems I am having are:As for the basic concept, I have gone to several "spyware" forums and asked for advice. Does this "anti-spyware keypad" work? So far, here is the outcome of this discussion:
- I can not find a code for a "copy to clipboard" button that automatically copies whatever is in the <input type="text"> field.
- Better background images for the page.
- Better background colors or images for the keypad to sort of make it look like a calculator or something. (I am still experimenting without much success.)
1. It is "in theory" possible to make a "clipboard monitor." But currently, no such thing exists.
2. To foil that possiblity, I could modify the "erase clipboard" button---so that instead of copying "X" to the clipboard, it can copy a huge sequence of randomly generated "false passwords." (Any suggestions on the javascript code to do this would be welcome!)
3. Seldom however is there a problem even from "keystroke monitors" recording passwords. Obviously, most people just type in the password even at public computers. Therefore, this "anti-spyware keypad" is well above the current standard of security.
Thank you anyone for any comments---either about the "design" or about the "concept" of an online keypad for "conveniently" improving people's internet security.
