  1. defeating keystroke loggers on Tinfoil Hat Linux: A Distribution for the Paranoid · · Score: 1

    So I guess I can't say that I fully understand how keystroke loggers work... do any of them (most of them?) also record a high-res timestamp with each keystroke?

    What if you were able to type in a passphrase, but with a particular rhythm? Say, typing each individual letter of your passphrase to the rhythm of "shave and a haircut, two bits" or some such nonsense?

    Of course this way, they could get the keystrokes, but if they don't know the precise rhythm of the keystrokes, they're SOL.

    Go ahead, cynics. Now tell me it's a stupid idea... I'm waiting.
