Can keystroke monitoring software intercept keystrokes as they are being sent into a VPN connection?
Key logging can occur even within a VPN session. The logging captures the keyboard input without care for the VPN session. Now what might vary is what happens after the logging. During a VPN session, the key logging application won’t be able to send the information out immediately as the VPN software will take over the network interface. If the key logging software buffers the keystrokes in a cache, they can be sent later after the VPN session ends or they could be retrieved by a process (remote copy or a remote request to upload the keystrokes) at a later time. What you might want to try if the situation absolutely requires the use of a public terminal is the use of a point/click character set on a secured web page. By clicking the mouse on graphical representation of the letters (similar to a PDA) or even common words, you could partially circumvent the key logging software. Of course you wouldn’t want to arrange the characters in a known format in case mouse clicks were also being m
