Thread: Capture words and check against restricted values?

Hi guys, my first post.

I am trying to write a small program (daemon) that will:

1. capture a word typed into console
2. check that word against a list of restricted keywords
3. display a warning that a restricted word was typed (not prevent just warn)

I have point 2 & 3 sorted but 1 is bothering me. I wrote a small keylogger and build the word to be checked against a collection of restricted keywords. On each space or return I would fire the function to check the word against the list of keywords. The problem is backspace (delete).

When I hit delete after misspelling a word it gets around the check, this is expected as I am collecting each character typed and building a word sequentially and not taking into account del.

Is there a way to capture the input of the console (or other) on enter and check the word that way?

If that makes sense.

Thanks.

We don't do keyloggers here.
