Super user privileges required on Linux #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Super user/root user privileges required to run the software on GNU/Linux.
This is because of a kernel level key logger (Linux User Input Device Event
Interface).

Possible Fixes: 
1. setuid.
2. Develop a new key logger which functions at user level. Xlib is one such
possibility.
