So are there any keyloggers for MacOS in the wild that still manage to capture keystrokes with EnableSecureEventInput, or can I consider this as "secure"? Also, is there a way to tell when/for which processes EnableSecureEventInput is active?
- goerz 9y agoAnswering my own question: EnableSecureEventInput does not protect from processes that have root privileges, see https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/47749/how-secure-is-secure-keyboard-entry-in-mac-os-xs-terminal https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/47749/how-secur... A good way to check whether EnableSecureEventInput is enabled is to start the Keyboard Viewer that comes with MacOS and see if it echoes keystrokes.
