Explanation
B (False) is correct because keyloggers, while stealthy, are detectable through multiple methods. Antivirus and anti-malware software can identify known keylogger signatures, behavioral analysis tools can flag suspicious keyboard-hooking API calls, and network monitoring can catch exfiltrated data streams. Some keyloggers are also detectable by examining running processes, startup entries, or installed drivers.
A (True) is wrong because it overstates the attacker's advantage - detection difficulty is not the same as detection impossibility. Many keyloggers are routinely caught by endpoint security tools, and hardware keyloggers can be found by physically inspecting keyboard connections.
Memory tip: Think of keyloggers like carbon monoxide - hard to notice without the right tools, but a dedicated detector (antivirus/EDR) will catch them. "Difficult to detect" ≠ "impossible to detect."
