Detecting Hotkey-Based Keyloggers Using an Undocumented Kernel Data Structure

The article examines hotkey-based keyloggers and presents a detection method using an undocumented kernel data structure. The technique focuses on identifying how these keyloggers intercept keystrokes by analyzing the hotkey table in kernel space.

Why it matters: Security teams and incident responders responsible for endpoint protection need detection methods to identify keyloggers that use hotkey interception, a common persistence and data exfiltration technique.
