simple question regarding keyboard (but technical prespective)
Generally when we press keys on the keyboard actually ascii code will be passed ,Isn't it?.so using keylogging softwares the hacker can steal the data.
But what about virtual keyboard means (onscreen keyboard) what is happening behind it .Is the principle is same for all onscreen keyboard softwares.I want the technical reasons and one more doubt why didn't they use unicode for that.

PraveenKumar PurushothamanOnscreen Keyboard (the one from Microsoft, which comes up when you open Run and type OSK) is a Virtual Keyboard, which more or less acts as a real Keyboard, with the same kind of ASCII Input to the OS. 😀
In case of Virtual Keyboards, which you see in most of the Bank Websites, is just pure JavaScript and they append the value to the input box or whatever. They cannot be tracked by hackers, as it is just a JavaScript. 😀
Hope this clears... 😀 -
Sahithi PallaviMicrosoft OSK, we use, is also of pure javascript?

PraveenKumar PurushothamanNo SP, it is an application. It uses events... 😀

Sahithi PallaviSorry for my ignorance 😔
Do hackers can track this OSK? -
PraveenKumar PurushothamanYeah, guess it is possible... 😀
