Sniffing X-Windows service keystroke tool xspy

The full name of X-Windows is the X Windows graphical user interface. It is a kind of computer software system and network protocol. It provides a basic graphical user interface (GUI) and rich input device functions for networked computers. All operating systems now support and use X-Windows. For example, Gnome and KED are built on X-Windows services.

Kali Linux provides a tool called xspy for sniffing keystrokes for X-Windows services. Using this tool, you can sniff not only the user buttons of the local X-Windows service, but also the user buttons of the remote X-Windows service by hijacking traffic. Through the keystroke information obtained, the penetration tester can learn about the ongoing operations on the target host, especially the key information such as the user name and password entered.
