Introduction
About the product
The KeyGrabber Nano Wi-Fi is an advanced hardware keylogger with a built-in Wireless LAN
communications module. It features a huge 16 MB internal flash disk organized as a file
system. All text data typed on the connected keyboard will be captured and stored on the
internal Flash Drive in a special file. Text data may be later retrieved in two ways: the classical
way through Flash Drive mode, or remotely through Wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN
functionality allows receiving logged data as E-mail reports, and on-demand via the local
TCP/IP network. The KeyGrabber Nano Wi-Fi is 100% transparent for computer operation
and no drivers are required.

Quick Start
This section assumes you are already familiar with basic hardware keylogger handling, such
as recording and retrieving data. It is particularly important to be familiar with Flash Drive
mode, as this mode will be used to configure the WLAN functionality. If not, please refer to
sections Recording keystrokes,Viewing recorded data, and Remote access first.
Before you start, make sure you have the following data about the Wi-Fi network the
keylogger will operate in:
WLAN Access Point ID (SSID)
WLAN encryption type (WPA-2, WPA, WEP64/128, or open network)
WLAN encryption password
Make sure you also have an E-mail address the wireless keylogger can send reports to.
Step 1. Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and create a file named WIFI.TXT. This file will
later be used to configure the keylogger. Use the following template:
WiFiNetwork=MyNetwork
WiFiPassword=MyPassword
WiFiEncryption=WPA2
Recipient=[e-mail]
Replace MyNetwork with the Access Point ID (SSID). Replace MyPassword with the WLAN
password. Provide the encryption type using one of the following strings: WPA2, WPA,
WEP64, WEP128, or None. Provide the E-mail address you would like to receive reports to
after the Recipient string. Make sure you provide all strings in a case-sensitive manner.
Finally, save the configuration file as WIFI.TXT.

Step 2. Connect the keylogger and enable Flash Drive mode.
a) for devices supplied with an external USB cable (revision A):
Take the supplied USB cable and connect it to the mini-port on the keyloggers side. Make
sure the red mark on the cable faces the keyloggers USB port. Then, connect the USB
cable to a free USB port. Finally, connect the keylogger to a second USB port. Do not
connect the keyboard. After a few seconds, the hardware keylogger will automatically get
detected as a mass storage device, and pop up as a removable drive.
b) for devices supplied without external USB cable (revision B):
Plug the keylogger in-between the keyboard and USB port, and press the 3-key combination
simultaneously (by default K, B, S). After a few seconds, the hardware keylogger will
automatically get detected as a mass storage device, and pop up as a removable drive.

Step 4. Connect the keylogger and the keyboard to start recording keystroke data.
Plug the USB keylogger in-between the keyboard and USB port. Do not use the supplied
USB cable (it is for configuration purposes only).
On power-up, the keylogger will automatically connect to the Access Point defined in
WIFI.TXT, and send an E-mail report to the specified recipient address every hour. Besides
logged keystroke data, the report will contain Access Point information and IP configuration.

Step 5. If E-mail reporting is not enough, you can take full control over the keylogger from any
computer in your Local Area Network. Install the supplied application KL Tools, add the
keylogger to the list by its IP number, and explore the available features.
Using KL Tools you can communicate with multiple Wi-Fi hardware keyloggers, allowing
creating entire networks of wireless keyloggers. This solution is particularly recommended for
monitoring several computers in a household, or controlling employee productivity in
companies.
To read more on KL Tools, jump to section Remote access.

Recording keystrokes
Recording mode is the default mode of operation for the KeyGrabber Nano Wi-Fi keylogger.
In record mode, the device will silently monitor all keystrokes coming from the keyboard and
store them on the internal Flash Drive in file LOG.TXT.
Installation of the keylogger in record mode is quick and easy, no software or drivers are
required. Simply plug it in between the keyboard plug and keyboard port. Recording will start
automatically on power-up.
Plug the USB keylogger in-between the keyboard and USB port. Do not use the supplied
USB cable.
Note: If an external 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 accessed directly or remotely through
WLAN. This section covers only direct access, for remote operation refer to section Remote
access.
The primary method for viewing recorded data is Flash Drive mode. The keylogger will act as
a mass-storage device and pop up as a removable drive. Follow the instructions below.
a) for devices supplied with an external USB cable (revision A):
Take the supplied USB cable and connect it to the mini-port on the keyloggers side.
Make sure the red mark on the cable faces the keyloggers USB port.
Then, connect the USB cable to a free USB port on the computer.
Finally, connect the keylogger to a second USB port. Do not connect the keyboard.

b) for devices supplied without external USB cable (revision B):
Plug the keylogger in-between the keyboard and USB port, and press the 3-key combination
simultaneously (by default K, B, S). After a few seconds, the hardware keylogger will
automatically get detected as a mass storage device, and pop up as a removable drive.
In both cases (revision A or revision B), 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).
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).
The Flash Drive 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.

Keystroke logging configuration
Finally, a Wi-Fi configuration dialog will be shown. Enter
the data allowing the keylogger to connect to the WLAN
Access Point:
WLAN Access Point ID (SSID)
WLAN encryption type
WLAN encryption password
Remember, that these strings are case-sensitive.
If the WLAN Access Point does not allow Auto-IP
configuration through DHCP, provide a static IP address,
network mask, gateway address, and DNS information.
To receive E-mail reports containing keystroke data,
supply your E-mail address. You may adjust the reporting
interval and report size.
When finished, make sure the device is connected as in
record mode. KL Tools will automatically create
configuration files (CONFIG.TXT and WIFI.TXT), prompt
for enabling Flash Drive mode, and copy the files to the

On-demand access
The KeyGrabber Nano Wi-Fi offers on-demand access via TCP/IP from any computer
connected to the network. This feature is usually limited to the Local Area Network, unless
your local network segment is visible globally. To access the keylogger remotely, launch KL
Tools, select the proper device version, and navigate through the wizard to remote access.
The Wi-Fi Control Center will be shown.
A remote device needs to be added first. This can be done by clicking the Add Device icon,
and supplying the IP address, name (optional), and device password. The password must
match the local 3-key combination defined in the devices CONFIG.TXT (K, B, S by default).
The IP address of the remote device can be obtained in a few ways:
from an E-mail report (see section E-mail reporting)
from the device configuration (if using static IP)
from the Access Point configuration (if using Auto-IP)
If the IP address is unknown, the Search Local Network option can be used. This feature will
send a broadcast signal to all devices in the Local Area Network, to which remote keyloggers
should respond. Make sure that no firewall blocks UDP communication, otherwise the
procedure will fail.

Configuration files
The KeyGrabber Nano Wi-Fi is configured via three text files placed on the internal Flash
Drive:
CONFIG.TXT (configures key-logging parameters)
WIFI.TXT (configures Wi-Fi functionality)
These files should contain configuration parameters, placed in successive lines in the
following format:
Parameter1=Value
Parameter2=Value
Parameter3=Value
…
Example of WIFI.TXT
WiFNetwork=MyNetwork
WiFiPassword=MyPassword
WiFiEncryption=WPA2
Recipient=[e-mail]
These configuration files must be placed in the device internal memory using Flash Drive
mode.
Device configuration can be performed by KL Tools, or manually by the user. KL Tools
performs the same operation as would be done manually, that is creates the configuration
files, requests switching to Flash Drive mode, and copies the files to the flash disk.
Creating configuration files manually may be necessary on systems not supported by KL
Tools, such as Mac OS or Linux.
