There are Two main types of keyloggers that you should be aware of

Hardware Keyloggers 

This type of keylogger is a piece of equipment that is physically attached to ones computer, typically between the keyboard and the machine itself. While this type is the most powerful and readily available (try a Google search for ‘keylogger’ and you’ll be shocked), it also requires direct access to a machine to be installed.

Software Keyloggers 

This is the form of keylogging that you should be most aware of. In this case, the keylogger is attached via Malware, typically through a trojan horse. Thus, you’ll download an unsuspicious file (the trojan horse) that contains the keylogging software (malware). Once installed, the controller has full access to all of your keystrokes and passwords.
