Introduction: Cone of Silence is an application that blocks key capture programs while it is running. There are many utilities out there that save all key strokes to a file. The purpose of these programs (usually) is to save anything you have been typing in case of a system crash. The downside is, malicious users install them on other people's machines (public labs, etc.) and gather information like passwords to network services. This is a major security issue. Cone of Silence can be used to ease some of the fears associated with using public access machines. There is no guarantee that this program provides security in all cases, but it does do a good job with every method of key capturing found by the author.
