Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the behavior of a global keyboard hook used for key capture in a keylogger application, specifically addressing the non-consecutive values observed for number keys when compared to their expected ASCII values.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant notes that the keylogger shows values for the number keys that are not consecutive, questioning the reason behind this discrepancy.
- Another participant suggests verifying the output method to rule out issues such as concatenation with the array index affecting the printed values.
- A participant confirms that their output for other characters, like 'a', is correct, but expresses confusion over the representation of shift keys with values that do not align with ASCII expectations.
- One participant clarifies that keyboard scan codes differ from ASCII codes, implying that the observed values may be related to scan codes rather than ASCII values.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus; there are competing views regarding the nature of the values being captured and the potential reasons for the discrepancies.
Contextual Notes
There is a lack of clarity on the definitions and distinctions between keyboard scan codes and ASCII codes, which may contribute to the confusion in the discussion.
