Good news! It doesn't capture keystrokes.
It only captures the terminal output.
asciinema acts like a thin middle-man between you and the actual shell, kind of like screen or tmux. So,
technically the program sees everything you type during runtime because it has to pass everything through to the shell, but none of that is captured in the output. You can verify this by telling it to save to disk instead of uploading to asciinema.org, and then you can look at the output yourself, which is a surprisingly simple and pretty self-explanatory format once you see it.
Here's a sample capture of:
Code:
bradsmith@Novus: ~
» echo "hello world"
hello world
bradsmith@Novus: ~
» sudo echo "secrets!"
Password:
secrets!
Hopefully it didn't show you my actual password when I used sudo.
