Keystroke logging
Keystroke logging often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically covertly, so that a person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. Data can then be retrieved by the person operating the logging program. A keystroke recorder or keylogger can be either software or hardware.
What it does
It's a script written in python. Once you create a text file, (you can see the name in the code). Then it will run in the background and you don't even see it in the taste manager while it's running. It will record all your keystrokes in a character mode, listing all the characters you clicked plus the time.
How we built it
I used python and some open-source documents to rewrite it.
Challenges we ran into
Sometimes, this program have a conflict with your firewall and you have to figure that out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm proud to understand how keylogging software works and be able to write one also it's not mine.
What we learned
I learned about keylogging and cyber security in general.
