Quick start
This section contains concise information on basic keylogger handling. If you need detailed
instructions, please refer to sections Recording keystrokes and Viewing recorded data.
To record keystrokes, plug the device in-between the keyboard and USB port.
To view recorded data, plug the device in-between the keyboard and USB port, and press
the 3-key combination simultaneously (by default K, B, S)
The keylogger will pop up as a removable drive, containing the file LOG.TXT. This file will
contain all recorded keystroke data.

Recording keystrokes
Installation of the KeyDemon USB is quick and easy. Simply plug it in between the USB
keyboard and the USB port. No software or drivers are required. The USB hardware
keylogger will start recording all data typed on the keyboard to the internal flash disk. Once
recording starts, new data will be appended to the end of the log file. The device is completely
transparent for computer operation.
Disconnect the USB keyboard from the USB port at the computer or hub.
This can be done even with the computer up and running.
Connect the hardware USB keylogger between the USB keyboard and the USB port.
Keystroke logging will start automatically.
Note: If an external USB hub is being used, connect the keylogger between the hub and the
USB keyboard.

Viewing recorded data
Once keystroke data has been recorded, it may be retrieved on any computer with a USB
port. This is done by switching to Flash Drive mode. The KeyDemon USB and keyboard
should be connected in the same way, as during normal recording.
Each device has a built-in 3-key combination (by default K, B, S). Press these 3 magic keys
simultaneously to trigger Flash Drive mode.
After a few seconds, the hardware keylogger will automatically get detected as a mass
storage device. The operating system will use the standard built-in mass storage driver (MS
Windows 7 in the following examples).
Depending on the drive letters available, the device will be visible as a new drive, for example
F:. Use the systems file manager to browse this disk (for example Explorer). The keyboard
will be disconnected and unavailable, so the mouse must be used to browse the disk.

The removable disk will contain the file LOG.TXT with a text log of all captured data.
Keystroke data is formatted in the same as it would appear on the screen, with special keys in
brackets ([Ent], [Esc], [Del] etc.). This file can be viewed and searched with any text editor,
such as Notepad or MS Word.
During Flash Drive mode, the USB keyboard is inaccessible, and usually the mouse is the
only operating device. Therefore it is a good idea to copy the file to the hard drive, and restore
standard operation. Erasing and editing the file LOG.TXT is obsolete, because the flash disk
has a huge memory worth of years of intensive typing.
Switching back to standard mode can be achieved by a safe software removal of the flash
disk. Use the systems standard disk removal procedure. For MS Windows, left-click on the
Safe Removal icon in the system tray and select the appropriate drive. Some systems will
require to unplug the reconnect the keylogger.
Note: During the first switch to Flash Drive mode, the operating system can ask for drivers. In
such case choose automatic driver installation (usually default option).
Note: While in Flash Drive mode, the USB keyboard is disabled. Use the mouse to operate
the system. If mouse operation is dependent on the keyboard (i.e. wireless desktop or USB
keyboard with mouse attached to it), connect the keyboard/mouse combo to a different USB
port after switching to Flash Drive mode.

Flash Drive options
Flash Drive mode allows several standard examination and maintenance procedures to be
performed through the operation system. The most common operations are described below
with MS Windows as an example operating system.
Phrase searching
Copy the log file LOG.TXT to the hard drive and restore standard mode, by disconnecting the
flash disk. Open LOG.TXT in any text editor, such as Notepad or MS Word. The entire log file
may be viewed, or searched using the text editor built-in Find option (CTRL-F). To locate
WWW & E-mail addresses, define the search phrase as ‘www’, ‘.com’, ‘@’ etc.
Memory erasing
A flash disk capacity of 4 MB / 2 GB makes memory erasing obsolete. This is equivalent to
several years’ worth of intensive typing. However, it is possible to keep the log file clean by
erasing it occasionally. This can be achieved by the standard system file delete procedure
while in Flash Drive mode. For MS Windows active the context menu for the log file and select
Delete. A new log file will be created on the next power-up.

Memory formatting
Flash disk formatting will erase all data present, including the log, configuration, and layout
files. For MS Windows activate the Flash Drive context menu and choose Format. Make sure
the correct disk is selected and check the option Quick Format.
Disconnect and reconnect the keylogger from the USB port immediately after formatting has
finished. Default settings will be restored and a new log file will be created.
