That is why for one of my school projects I came up with a virtual keyboard to enter sensitive data whose keys were randomly scrambled so looking at mouse move moments wouldn't tell you what the person was clicking on.

You're probably too intelligent to get a job at Microsoft, but I'm sure there are Linux people who would appreciate you.

Well I'm trying to get out of the security gig. I don't have any free time right now otherwise I would try and release such an app for people to use. I have a .NET version available, but nothing Linux related.

I wouldn't want to move to the US either, so MS would be out. I have a couple of friends who work there, I don't think I would be interested.

lol, if you look up the virus in Mcafee, or some such thing, you'd have something to enter into a p2p program.
