Which hardware device captures keystrokes and stores them in its memory for later retrieval?

• A. Keylogger Keyboard
• B. PC/BIOS Embedded
• C. Hardware Keystroke Loggers
• D. RemoteExec

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is hardware keystroke logging: a device that sits between the keyboard and the computer (or is built into the keyboard) and records every keystroke in its own memory for later retrieval. Because the logging happens in hardware, it doesn’t rely on the target’s operating system or installed software, making the captured data accessible even if the host is reformatted or secured. You can later read the stored keystrokes by connecting the device to a computer or removing and inspecting its memory. This fits the option describing hardware keystroke loggers. Other choices describe either a specific keyboard with logging, a firmware/BIOS-based approach, or an unrelated remote execution tool, none of which capture and store keystrokes in a dedicated hardware memory in the same direct way.
