SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects and analyzes keylogger activity across endpoints using YARA rules, API hook detection, and registry/hook monitoring to enable rapid triage and incident response.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • YARA-based detection for WH_KEYBOARD_LL hooks and common keylogging patterns.
  • KQL/Sigma-based detection for high-rate keystroke activity and data flow.
  • Use Case: Respond to suspected keylogger on an enterprise endpoint; triage with immediate indicators and recommended remediations.

Quick Start

Prompt Claude to run the YARA-based keylogger detector against the target endpoint and report any matches.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect keylogger activity on Windows endpoints for incident response?

Detect keylogger activity by applying YARA rules for WH_KEYBOARD_LL hooks, monitoring keyboard input rates with KQL, and scanning for API hooks to triage suspected enterprise incidents.

What forensic artifacts indicate a keylogger infection?

Keylogger forensic artifacts include WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook installations, abnormal keyboard input rates, and malicious API hooks, which YARA and Sigma rules identify during endpoint triage.

Can I use YARA rules to find keyloggers in an enterprise environment?

Yes, you can apply YARA rules to target common keylogging patterns and low-level keyboard hooks across enterprise Windows endpoints to rapidly identify malicious activity.

How do I triage a suspected keylogger incident using KQL and Sigma detection?

Triage keylogger incidents by running KQL and Sigma patterns to detect high-rate keystroke activity and data flow anomalies, then correlating these artifacts to generate incident reports.

What is the best way to monitor keyboard input for malware forensics?

The best way to monitor keyboard input for malware forensics is combining YARA-based API hook detection with KQL queries that flag abnormal keystroke data flows across endpoints.

Does this keylogger detection method support remediation and reporting?

Yes, the detection method provides structured guidance for response and remediation, correlating endpoint artifacts to generate comprehensive incident reports for keylogger activity.
