Trojan Horse
Author
I have these two programming question about Trojan Horse.
1) Some trojan can read every key pressed by a user. The trojan program can read keypressed even though it is running in the background. How can I do this?
2) Some trojan can output random character. For example when you are typing in notepad, suddenly the trojan output random characters that you have not type. How can I do this?
For (1), I have no idea, but for (2), I guess that the trojan use some function like notepad_handle=GetGlobalWindow(xxx) to get the notepad handle and then SetWindowText(notepad_handle,random_str).
I'm programming in Visual C++ so please send Visual C++ code sample if you want to help. I'll appreciate any help.

What are you trying to do? a virus or something? In any case, I bet anyone wants to help you with it (in gamedev.net)
For just getting key presses, a simple GetAsyncKeyState() will work if the application is in the background.
For sending text to a window, you have the right idea. Once you find the right window (using any of the multitude of finding window commands, eg GetForegroundWindow, FindWindow, etc.) You can start sending messages to it using Post/SendMessage at your own will. So WM_SETTEXT would work, WM_KEYDOWN, etc.

Is it just me, or is there clearly malicious, not-game development going on here?

Actually, it''s not clear that he''s using the information for malicious purposes; that''s merely your assumption.
I suppose that you''re right but it seems to me that if he had a legitimate purpose he would have asked the question in a way that better suites that purpose and not basicaly "How does a trojan work?"
