App Security Researcher Is Like An Over-the-shoulder Keyloggers IPad


Security researcher has created an application that allows you to record keystrokes iPad from any distance, as long as you have line of sight of the keyboard unit.

Haroon Meer researcher at security firm believe that in Pretoria, South Africa, has announced the implementation shoulderPad Earlier this week, Andy Forbes' Greenberg reports.

The application, which can be installed on Mac OS and iPhone with jailbreak and iPads, uses image recognition software to identify each user keystroke, the iPad. As a form of feedback, a virtual keyboard IPAD flashes blue when you press a button to confirm that you have pressed the right. This is the blue light that allows the application to decode keystrokes automatically.

The same technology could be used in surveillance camera footage recorded the same result, Meer, Forbes said.

This development is intended to provoke discussion of Apple, and I know I'll be more careful with the drilling of a password in the audience - even if it is unlikely that there is someone to look shoulderPad.
