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.
Features
Background connection to the Internet over a local Access Point
Automatic E-mail reports with recorded keyboard data
On-demand access at any time through TCP/IP
Support for WEP, WPA, and WPA-2 encryption
16 Megabytes of internal memory

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=john@smith.com
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 3. Copy the configuration file WIFI.TXT to the keyloggers Flash Drive.
Then, safely remove the device, and disconnect it from the USB port. Disconnect the USB
cable as well.

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.

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.
