This article details Elastic Defend 8.12's behavioral detection features for Windows keyloggers: it explains four keylogger techniques (polling/GetAsyncKeyState, SetWindowsHookEx hooks, Raw Input via RegisterRawInputDevices/GetRawInputData, and DirectInput), lists monitored Windows APIs, shows a sample detection rule and PoC detection for RegisterRawInputDevices, and documents the API call metadata Elastic collects to reduce false positives and improve endpoint detection.
