Is there a way to detect which programs or modules are listening to a keyboard hook? By Sysinternals maybe?

A hook is a mechanism by which an application can intercept events, such as messages, mouse actions, and keystrokes. A function that intercepts a particular type of event is known as a hook procedure.
SetWindowsHookEx can be used to inject a DLL into another process. A 32-bit DLL cannot be injected into a 64-bit process, and a 64-bit DLL cannot be injected into a 32-bit process.

It largely depends on what level of abstraction are you obtaining your key presses.
For maximum detection you could use hardware directly or go as low as possible (some hooks work at HW driver-level).
For security purposes, you could also use a virtual keyboard - hooks would have to be targeted specifically at your application to simulate key presses.
