What I want to know is whether this device is real or is the message a hoax? Since the website belongs to CDAC, I was not sure.
You can buy it here:http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/c49f/ (and probably Ebay / Amazon etc) or make one on your own using an AVR / PIC microcontroller. (I'll do it as a summer project if someone will sponsor it :D )
Thanks for the link. This looks more like an espionage device than a general logging device. As mentioned before, if an organisation or a cyber cafe wants to log keystrokes they can do it properly using the software and networking way. This device is for those who do not own the system or cannot access it directly and want to extract a record of key strokes without the owner knowing about it. So CEOs, MDs, head honchos, managers and computer owners need to watch out for these devices in their systems. Their employee might be watching them, not vice versa.
