Question about the keylogger use at USU
Hey Jake or anybody else that may know,
One of our DBAs is going through the keylogger data from the USU assessment to make sure they clean up from any of the damage. He’s surprised that there doesn’t appear to be “that much” data in the keylogger files. I wanted to tell him to queue the “office space” soundtrack, but said I’d ask you guys instead.
Do you know if the keylogger file is truncated at all, is there a limit to the amount of data it can store and if there could have been more logged than there was on both of the days it was used?
In other words, do you think that logs contain the full sessions on the days they were used?
Thanks, -Allen
I don't have a definitive answer. I actually don't use the keylogger except when on assessments. It seems to not capture everything, but I can't answer as to the why. It should be able to store up to 8MB, yes, that's a MB. I can't imagine anybody typing that much in a day or two to fill up the drive though.

Does he do a lot of work with the 10-key pad? ;)On Wed, 2016-07-06 at 11:59 -0600, Mark Walton wrote:

Allen,
The logs should contain the full sessions from the days they were used. However there were multiple systems in each area, they might have been using other systems and in the one case it was a customized keyboard so the keylogger might not have caught everything from it.
Hope that helps, sorry for the delay. I have a filter for ushe-assess and forgot to check the folder…
Thanks Jake
