Hardware Keyloggers are available in a variety of modular keylogger products with small size and Wi-Fi communication capabilities that can be concealed inside the keyboard. Such keyloggers are more likely to leak important information and sensitive information from government, military, business and individuals because they are difficult to detect if they are used by a third party for malicious purposes. However, unlike software keyloggers, research on security solutions and detection methods are relatively small in number. This paper, we investigate security vulnerability caused by hardware keylogger and existing detection methods, and improve the detection possibility of modular hardware keylogger through non-destructive measurement methods, such as power consumption of keyboard, infrared temperature, and X-ray. Furthenmore, We propose a method that can be done with experimental results.
