PROBLEM
STATEMENT
KEYLOGGER-CAPTURING KEY
STROKES

Develop a keylogger application with

a graphical user interface (GUI) using
Python. The main purpose of a
keylogger is to covertly capture the
user's keyboard inputs without their
knowledge or consent. This collected
data can then be accessed and
analyzed by malicious actors or
authorized entities for various
purposes..

  Respecting privacy and seeking proper
authorization before using monitoring or
surveillance software is essential for ethical
behavior.
 Educational institutions incorporating the project
as a practical exercise in programming,
cybersecurity, or ethical hacking courses.
WHO ARE
THE END  Employers monitoring employee computer
activity to ensure productivity and security.
USERS
 Researchers studying human-computer
interaction, behavior analysis, or related fields
that require keystroke data for their studies.

 System administrators using the keylogger for

monitoring and troubleshooting purposes within
their organizations
 YOUR SOLUTION AND ITS VALUE
PROPOSITION
Keylogger can be used for various purposes, including cybersecurity ,digital
forensics and system monitoring.
Users can specify the name of the text file to store the recorded keystrokes. The
benefits include:

 Simplicity: A straightforward and intuitive interface makes it easy for

authorized users to manage the keylogger efficiently.

 Customization: Allowing users to specify the output file name enables

personalization and flexibility according to their preferences.

 Learning Opportunities: Developing this keylogger project can provide

valuable educational experiences in programming, software development, and
cybersecurity.

 Enhanced Security and Compliance: When used ethically and legally, this
keylogger can bolster security measures and assist organizations in
complying with relevant regulations and policies.

 Monitoring Capabilities: In authorized scenarios, this keylogger can be a

valuable tool for monitoring computer activity to ensure productivity, safety, or
for troubleshooting purposes.
HOW DID YOU CUSTOMIZE THE PROJECT
AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN
• Record keystroke activity
• Record any website visited as wall as snapshots of the website.
• Logs around instant message and emails send or received.
• Applications opened by the user in a certain period of time
• One of the key features that sets my project apart is customization. Users can specify the
name of the text file where the recorded keystrokes will be stored, offering a personalized
experience.
• By prioritizing usability, customization, ethics, and education, my keylogger project
distinguishes itself from typical professional keyloggers. It aims to empower users while
fostering a responsible and informed approach to cybersecurity and software development.
MODELLING
 Captured Keystrokes: The keylogger would record and store
