The brand new SpyCobra USB device is described as “the next generation of computer surveillance” – like a new and improved version of last year’s KeyShark USB Keylogger.

Extremely useful and highly covert, the SpyCobra is perfect for parents that want to keep an eye on their kids’ internet activities, employers who suspect their staff are up to something or private investigators gathering information, the SpyCobra is a covert computer logging device that’s a giant leap forward in spy technology.

What makes this device different is that it doesn’t have to be left plugged into a PC. You plug it into a USB port and within 15 seconds you can install a small piece of software that will log keys, remember websites visited and take screen shots at regular intervals.

There’s no hardware to detect and when you want to retrieve the information gathered, you just plug the SpyCobra unit into the PC again and everything will be uploaded onto it, so you can take it away and examine it later.

The SpyCobra computer surveillance USB device will soon be available from the Thumbs Up (UK) Ltd website. The suggested retail price is £89.99 (about $126).

The USB KeyShark is a computer spy accessory that falls under the category “Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”.

The small device plugs in between a keyboard and the computer, making it possible to record every single keystroke being made. Over a year’s worth of data can be stored on the 4MB built-in memory.

A microcontroller interprets the data, and stores information in memory and just like a USB key drive will retain information even without being connected to a power source.

To access the recorded data, you simply type menu in a text editor and the KeyShark comes to life. A menu is displayed with options to erase data, view data, search data for keywords, change password, or disable the device.

Features:

• Portable – move it from computer to computer.
• Installs in seconds – Just plug it in.
• Uses no system resources. Truly runs in the background.
• Works with all PC operating systems with USB keyboards.
• Data is retained even during system lock-ups and power outages.
• No Software to learn. Use in conjunction with programs you already know.
• Fully undetectable and can store over a year’s worth of data. 4MB internal memory.
• Records password and every keystroke ever pressed including special characters.

Possible applications:

• Monitoring childrens internet activity
• Monitoring staff activity (where legal)
• Find out useful information
• Useful for computer programmers to recover code in case of power failure and computer error.

The Thumbs Up website has the USB KeyShark keylogger listed with a suggested retail price of £49.99 (about $98 USD).

Don’t forget:
KeyShark is not intended for breaking into computers or for causing harm.
