INTRODUCTION

Welcome to keylogger, A keylogger is a software or hardware component that records


everything typed on your computer’s keyboard The term ‘keylogger’ comes from ‘keystroke
logging’, the act of recording (logging) the keys that are pressed on a keyboard, usually
without the user knowing that their actions are being watched. But first, let’s dive into the
difference between hardware-based and software-based keyloggers.

A keylogger is a surveillance tool that records keystrokes from a computer’s keyboard.


While it has legitimate uses (such as monitoring employee productivity or parental control), it
can also be misused by hackers to capture sensitive information like login credentials and
credit card numbers.

About the Keylogger

We developed this project using the following:

 Python

Project Overview:

Objective: Create a keylogger in Python that captures keystrokes and sends them via email or
saves them as log files.

Modules Used: keyboard: Allows complete control of the keyboard, including hooking
global events, registering hotkeys, and simulating key presses.

Smtplib : Used for sending email using the SMTP protocol (e.g., Gmail).

Functionality:

Listen to keystrokes in the background.

Maintain a global string variable to store pressed keys.

At regular intervals, report the content of the string variable via email or save it locally.
Implementation Steps:

Install the keyboard module using pip install keyboard.

Import necessary modules (e.g., keyboard, smtplib, Timer, datetime, MIMEMultipart,


MIMEText).

Set up an email account (if reporting via email).

Create a listener function to capture key presses.

Run the keylogger in the background.


CONCLUSION:

creating a keylogger involves understanding the intricacies of capturing keyboard input,


maintaining a log, and potentially reporting it via email or saving it locally. While this project
can be educational and useful for legitimate purposes, it’s essential to use this knowledge
responsibly and ethically. Remember that privacy and security are paramount, and
unauthorized use of keyloggers can have serious consequences. Always respect user consent
and legal boundaries when working with such tools.
