Check Your MacBook, iMac, or Mac for Malware & Keyloggers [Tutorial]

How to Scan Your MacOS Computer for Malware & Keyloggers

If you're worried about the security of your macOS computer, there aren't many reliable services for you to consider that are both effective and free. On this episode of Cyber Weapons Lab, we'll introduce you to Objective-See and a couple of their tools for detecting malware and keyloggers on your Mac. These tools will work on all macOS computers: MacBook Air, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, etc.

Would love to see this redone with deliberate malware installed so you could demo exactly one that's bad, and how to remove it.

More Mac users should be informed about this, nothing is safe as long as it’s connected to the internet.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH, my cousin got a RAT so I was trying to protect myself, and I can now finnaly say that I am supporting someone on patreon ;)

So I have one item that came up on the ReiKey after I scanned. How am i supposed to get rid of it? I just want it gone, enough with the talk of what it is or what it does. How do I get rid of it?

Windows-10 has a key logger also. You can't see it by going to the folders unless you use Linux to go to the C:\ drive and follow this path:



*Event Viewer might allow one to see what's inside the folders...

I got news for you, all macs have command and control reporting built into the kernel. Apple is your big brother, and only they (and maybe the NSA) know what data they are getting from you. As of the latest mac OS, you cannot remove this data harvesting. Never thought I'd see the day where Windows was less intrusive than Apple, considering the way Apple began. Here we are though.

I agree about Patrick's tools being very useful, more or less a counterpart to Sysinternals on Windows.

I downloaded a few of these tools a while back. I ended up down a rabbit hole of paranoia for 4-5 hours, searching google for every file name, process, etc. 🤣 thanks for the reminder 👍🏻

Nice, BUT what to do when it finds something and how to remove what files...
I didn't find a glitch, but have some older entries I wanna get rid of.
Also my worries are, when having metasploit installed...does it matter ?

[AlexandrosDorodoulis]

Just a note, the source code isn't available for all the tools! The source code is available for some of the tools but, for example, both KnockKnock and TaskExplorer are closed source tools

Would "gamecontrollerd" be something to worry about when it pops up with ReiKey?

[forestriver]

Have you done a video on "Lulu" from objective see?

[iCharonIV]

Thank you so much and Patric for this fantastic amazing tools thank you!!!!

[ElDJReturn]

Is there something like ReiKey for OSX 10.11? It's only for 10.13 and up.

[jalalferoj]

Can't open my imac once i downloaded task explorer and knockknock programs. Any solution?

[springbok]

Are you not concerned about running Chrome and Zoom as launch items? Or browser extensions like Grammarly which have poor privacy policies?

Great tutorial, thank you.
