keylogger's Introduction

Keylogger

Log your keystrokes and generate heatmaps of your typing patterns.

Installation

git clone [email protected]/mielpeeters/keylogger
cd keylogger
cargo build --release
sudo ./target/release/keylogger init

The init subcommand will move the required assets to XDG_DATA_HOME/keylogger such that the command can be used from within any directory.

Note: this is the data directory of the superuser.

First, find out which event file in /dev/input/ is your keyboard. You can use the tool evtest to find the event file number (eventX).

sudo keylogger log -e X

This will start the logging, with default output path (./assets/keylog.bin). Run with -h to see more options.

You can output as a csv with the export subcommand.

To generate the heatmap svg, run:

sudo keylogger heatmap -o heatmap.svg

This will generate a heatmap image at heatmap.svg.

The bell feature is something I implemented for myself, and won't work generally.

0.3.1 -> 0.4.0: added compression to the logfile + compress subcommand to compress old versions for backward compatibility.
0.3.0 -> 0.3.1: added words subcommand to show the top 100 most used words in your keylog data file.
0.2.0 -> 0.3.0: added analyze subcommand to show when you used your computer. Also changed internal time format to SystemTime, and added convert subcommand to transform your keylog data file to the new format for backward compatibility.
0.1.0 -> 0.2.0: added AES256-GCM password-protected encryption. Also added encrypt subcommand to encrypt 0.1.0 keylog files to ensure compatibility with 0.2.0.
