A simple and efficient keylogger designed to capture and log keystrokes. This project includes a basic keylogger that only captures keystrokes, and an advanced keylogger that captures screenshots, records the screen, and sends the logs to the authorities. This project is intended for educational purposes only. Please use responsibly and ensure you have proper permissions before use.
- Key Capture: Records all keystrokes in real-time.
- Advanced Keylogger: Captures screenshots, records the screen, and sends logs to authorities.
- Basic Keylogger: Only captures keystrokes.
- Time Logging: Logs timestamps with each keypress for analysis.
- Lightweight: Minimal resource usage and simple to run.
- Cross-Platform: Compatible with most operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS).
- Customizable Output: Logs can be saved in various formats, such as
.txtor.json. - Secure Logging: Advanced keylogger emails the log files to authorities.
Start by cloning the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/codewidneha/Keylogger.git
cd KeyloggerIf your project uses Python, install the necessary libraries:
pip install -r requirements.txtFor other languages, follow their respective dependency management instructions.
To start the keylogger:
-
For Python:
python keylogger.py
-
For Other Languages:
Follow specific instructions based on the programming language used.
To stop the keylogger, press Ctrl+C in the terminal or close the application window.
The basic keylogger captures only the keystrokes pressed by the user. It’s lightweight and ideal for simple logging applications.
The advanced keylogger not only captures keystrokes but also:
- Takes periodic screenshots of the user’s screen.
- Records the screen for further analysis.
- Emails the collected data (keystrokes, screenshots, and screen recordings) to a predefined recipient (such as the authorities).
In this project, I’ve also created two additional frontends to enhance the user experience:
- AuthApp Login Page: A login page to test and visualize the keylogger functionality in a more interactive manner.
- Medicare Hospital Frontend: A frontend interface for a hospital management system, aimed at providing a better visualization experience while interacting with the keylogger.
