Also, a new version of logkext is available that runs on the most modern versions of Mac OS X, that can also be found on Google Code here. Interested users can get logkext from Google Code as a free download. Logkext is also a free download and completely open source, which also makes it preferable in my book, because you can view the source code yourself to make sure nothing peculiar is going on, or if you want to, customize it to better fit your own security needs. But, put frankly, this is not a simple GUI app for novice users who are looking to casually monitor typing and keystrokes. If there were to be a downside to logkext it could be that it runs entirely in the Terminal and you must install, access, and uninstall the app through the command line, this keeps it off limits to many Mac users and generally makes it only appropriate for advanced usage – which may be for better or worse.
PERFECT KEYLOGGER LITE FOR MAC MAC OS X
Once it has been set to load into the kernel of a Mac OS X machine, it will start logging automatically upon system reboot and maintain it’s running encrypted log until you either uninstall the logkext extension or otherwise disable the keylogger client.

In short, this means everything typed onto the Mac keyboard is recorded after the logkext kernel extension is loaded. It also runs completely silently in the background, offering virtually no easily identified indicator of it’s presence.

And that brings us to what makes logkext so powerful, because it loads into the Mac OS X kernel, thereby bypassing user-level security measures.
