 1 | # keylogger
 2 | 
 3 | Keyloggers are programs that capture your key strokes.
 4 | They can be used to keep logs of everything you press on the keyboard but on the 
 5 | flip side it can be used for malicious purposes as well.
 6 | 
 7 | The keylogger that I've made is a basic keylogger with not much functionality as the ones available in market today.
 8 | It captures your keystrokes and saves them in a file "keylogger.txt".
 9 | 
10 | It then sends the contents of the file(i.e. the keystrokes) to your email id.
11 | 
12 | With some extra lines of code, it can also send the keystrokes at regular intervals.
13 | But that is a project for another time.
14 | 
15 | I have not made it executable so one has to explicitely call it.
16 | 
17 | SYNTAX : python keylogger.py
18 | 
19 | [NOTE: You need to press esc key to exit out the keylogger.]
20 | 
21 | You need to have pynput , smtplib and ssl installed.
22 | 
23 | While python comes with the library smtplib and ssl preinstalled.
24 | You can install pynput with :
25 | pip install pynput
26 | 
27 |
