    Easiest way I can come up with would be to have the keylogger send timestamps with the keystrokes, which would be compared with the time at the server that receives them.

      The system time on computers is typically off by a couple seconds.

      I can understand how the server could measure the latency by pinging the computer, but that doesn’t involve keystrokes at all.

        Yeah it could just be an incorrect description of how the program actually works. Or they’re just making shit up to obfuscate how they actually did it.
