More advanced take on a traditional key logger

Key Logger

Description

This was one of a series of projects I completed after finishing my first year of computer science. The project was designed to allow me to gain a deeper understanding of how and why keyloggers work. By developing these software tools and gaining an insider mindset I will hopefully now be able to know when and where a key logger might be in use and how to combat that.

How does it Work?

• When the program is started it 'listens' for the internet to be started. The type of browser can be modified in the source code.
• Once the internet is running screenshots are taken every 3 seconds and analysed to see if they contain the phrases "Log in" or "Sign In"
• If those phrases are detected within the images the logging will begin and the images will be saved
• Once the program has reached its entered runtime it will encrypt the log file and send an email containing the encrypted data to the destination email.

How to Use

Enter your desired runtime in the main.py file

Command

python main.py
