wayland-keylogger VS teams-for-linux

Intercepting inputs meant for other apps is easy and it's already been done via LD_PRELOAD.

And all of this just for supposedly better "security", that can easily circumvented with trivial attacks.

Not in the same sense that there's a keylogger included with Windows, no. It's that it's easier to do on Xorg as opposed to Wayland. This isn't to say that it's impossible, however.

You can have keylogger on Wayland also without root priviledge. It's trivial: https://github.com/Aishou/wayland-keylogger

> you can still deliver different experiences at runtime — but you’re not likely to have the superuser privileges needed to run a leylogger or read ~/.ssh/id_rsa, etc, at that point.

Keyloggers are trivial to do in userspace Linux via LD_PRELOAD attacks[0], and typically your user account has permission to read ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

I have read that bare Linux is totally insecure (https://github.com/Aishou/wayland-keylogger) unless you use some means of sandboxing. That's why I have been reading a lot about firejail, AppArmor, Tomoyo, etc.

I've never used this but apparently this wrapper is useful for linux people: https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

Have you tried an unofficial electron client?

I use https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux . It's "just" a wrapper around the PWA but a very decent one at that.

Unofficial and not Microsoft supported, but might be an alternative to Microsoft's official PWA. How do the two compare in your experience with them?

You can try the unofficial client Teams for Linux. It's available as a Flatpak and I didn't have any issues sharing my screen with it. https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

This client works well for me: https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

There is also: https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

That always frustrated me, even more-so considering how that volunteer-built package I mentioned (https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux - an Electron build of the web app, nothing flashy but does the job just fine) does support screen sharing. I haven’t checked whether it supports backgrounds as I only use voice when on calls, but I’m guessing it does if the browser variant does.
