Ive just purchesed a LCD termanal from parallax, the one with the pushbuttons. I was sitting around one day after my Mom and Dad changed the password on My new Alienware ALX, I thought about makeing the·BS.2 record characters type only in passsword fields. It would beturned on when the computer is powered up automaticly, When a password field is incountered It would record all Characters, and would disply them in the LCD screen when acessed. I no this sounds almost impossible, but I think·it could work, im not sure how you could have it record throught password fields, im thinking you might need to·write a program for the computer itself, so when a password field is incountered it will send info·to the stamp. I realy want to go to the·"Grand Idea Studieo" and learn how to hack computers useing othe hardware and stuff.

Outside of the issue that capturing passwords like this is unethical and, in some situations, might be illegal, how would your device know what a password field is? Some programs use specific routines in the operating system (Windows in this case) to provide for the entry of passwords, but not all programs use those routines and you'd need to find them and modify them to signal to the BS2 that a password entry field is being used. You'd also have to connect the BS2 so it can monitor the keyboard information. Most recent operating systems like Windows Vista are designed to prevent this sort of thing from happening or at least make it very difficult to do.

Yeah I thought it would kinda be impossible, but thanks away.
