 PROBLEM STATEMENT

In today's digital age, where cybersecurity threats loom large, one of the significant concerns is the proliferation
of keyloggers, stealthy software tools designed to monitor and record keystrokes on a user's computer without
their knowledge. Keyloggers pose a severe threat to individuals and organizations as they can capture sensitive
information such as passwords, credit card details, and other personal data, leading to identity theft, financial loss, and
privacy breaches.
 PROPOSED SOLUTION
 1. Data Collection:
 Gather diverse datasets including normal keyboard activities and keylogger attacks.
 Collaborate with cybersecurity firms and organizations for real-world data.
 2. Data Preprocessing:
 Clean and preprocess data to remove noise and irrelevant information.
 Ensure proper labeling to distinguish normal keystrokes from keylogger activities.
 3. Machine Learning Algorithm:
 Use supervised classifiers (e.g., Random Forest, Support Vector Machines) to detect keylogger behavior.
 Explore anomaly detection techniques for abnormal pattern identification.
 4. Deployment:
 Develop user-friendly software or integrate into existing cybersecurity platforms.
 Ensure compatibility across operating systems and software environments.
 5. Evaluation:
 Assess performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall.
 Conduct rigorous testing under diverse conditions and solicit feedback for refinement.
