Ask any hacker,<
I don't think so since the display is crucial to Tempest For Eliza which
would not allow the continuation of everyday computer processes (e.g. word
processing etc.) and the user would become suspicious if his or her monitor
started flashing black and white lines. I believe hackers just put keystroke
loggers on target machines which record all keyboard key presses to a log
file somewhere on the machine or over a network connection. There are also
special keyboards with built-in hardware loggers.

e.g. klogger http://www.ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/klogger/
