These are strange times for tech and security, as recent headlines have shown. Cyber bullying, online cheating scandals, hacking events, and many more types of internet behaviors have landed plenty of people in hot water lately, some of them in high-profile ways. In some of those instances, the old “it wasn’t me” excuse was tried and quickly failed due to pertinent information being released on the individual in question.
But what if you could install software that would basically screenshot every single keystroke on your computer? And more importantly, who would want to do such a thing?
Keylogging is often looked down on as the kind of behavior that only a reprobate would engage in, such as someone sneaking over to a school or library computer lab and installing a program that would track everything–from sensitive files to passwords–that users type, but keylogging software also offers a good-guy feature: protecting you from what others may do on your computer.
Whether at home or at work, the Big Brother aspect of programs like Free Keylogger, which has just released an update this week, is unnerving to some in the tech industry, but for others who work in environments of shared computer space, it can actually provide the proof needed to back up their claims of innocence. For example, some 15,000 email addresses linked to the Ashley Madison scandal had .gov or .mil endings, and the IP addresses that were leaked contained many that were government connections. While anyone stupid enough to use his government-issued work address might also be dumb enough to log in from his own work computer, it’s also just as likely that some of those IP addresses were from other users’ workstations. After all, if you’re headed over to a banned website on company time, would you use your computer or the one belonging to the guy from the next cubicle who’s gone to lunch? A keylogging software installed on the computer would report what was entered and at what time, which could then help clear the person whose computer station was compromised.
The same goes for home computers. Instead of thinking as keylogging as “spying” on those who use computers in the household, it’s even more useful to think of it was preventing serious harm down the road by knowing what was entered early. Ideally no one needs to rely on keylogging to find out if their spouses are cheating, but it comes down to personal safety when children or teens enter the equation. Parents of kids who are just emerging into the cyberspace may find keylogging to be a lifesaver–literally, even–in terms of unobtrusively knowing what sites their kids have visited, how they logged into those sites, and what was said there.

While the Firefox browser has finally decided to make an appearance on iPads, iPhones, and iPods, unless you happen to be based in New Zealand, you’re out of luck. New Zealand is the only country in the world where Firefox for iOS is currently available.
But if you can hang on just a few months more, then Mozilla hope to have the iOS version of Firefox ready for a worldwide release by December. The not for profit company’s aim is to collect feedback from the Kiwi nation, make improvements, and add some features before the worldwide release.
Mozilla’s primary aim is to create “a great browsing experience for iOS with Firefox.” Anyone feeling a compulsive desire to be in the loop when Firefox for iOS come to your iTunes store can sign up to be notified here.
The preview release available to our Antipodean cousins will be used to gather feedback from three key features, most interesting of which is the “Intelligent Search,” which allows users to enter a search term and then choose from a range of search engines to answer their query.
It was only 2 years ago that Mozilla rejected the idea of a Firefox browser for iOS unless Apple’s closed iOS environments were made more hospitable for 3rd party software, such as Mozilla’s Firefox. Apple’s strict requirements meant that Mozilla were unable to use their own rendering engine, which was a major sticking point.
The company though signaled it may have changed its mind in an announcement made last December, possibly in reaction to reduced market share on Android powered devices, and desktops.
Firefox for iOS comes just weeks after Mozilla announced that it would be possible to run Chrome “like” extensions in the new version of Firefox, also due out later this year.
