This project demonstrates building a basic Python keylogger to capture keyboard inputs. It logs all keystrokes to a file, simulating how malicious actors might intercept sensitive data like passwords. The project is designed for educational purposes to help understand and defend against such threats.
- Python 3.x installed on your system
- Pynput also installed on your system (to record keystrokes)
- Clone the repository by typing in the following line into your terminal: "https://github.com/gavinpark123/keylogger-project.git"
- And then this line: "cd keylogger-project"
- (If pynput library already installed, skip this step) Type "pip install pynput" into your terminal
- Type "python keylogger.py" into the terminal. This will start it!
- Once it's running, start typing anything in your sentence (e.g. "Gavin Park is so good at basketball") and check the key_log.txt file for the text that you typed out
- So cool isn't it???
