Answer:

keylogger.

Explanation:

A keylogger can be defined as a software program or hardware device designed for monitoring and recording the keystrokes entered by an end user through the keyboard of a computer system or mobile device.

Basically, a keylogger can be installed as a software application or plugged into the USB port of a computer system, so as to illegally keep a record of all the inputs or keys pressed on a keyboard by an end user.

In order to prevent cyber hackers from gaining access to your keystrokes, you should install an anti-malware software application such as Avira, McAfee, Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, etc.

An antivirus utility is a software application or program that's used to scan, detect, remove and prevent computer viruses such as Malware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, botnets, adwares etc.

In conclusion, a bot can use a keylogger to capture keystrokes on the infected machine to retrieve sensitive information.

Describe what happens in your browser as soon as you hit enter after writing a URL in the address bar.
Arlecino [84]

The URL is translated to an IP address, using a domain name server on the Internet. The browser then sends a request to the web server at that IP address. The server replies by sending the file, usually a web page to your IP address. The browser takes in that file, then delivers it into what you see on your screen in your browser.
