C++ Keylogger Project in order to futher my understanding of malicious snooping techniques.

C++ Keylogger Project

First C++ Project implementing self-taught skills and techniques.

Only to be used for personal and educational purposes.

Key features:

• Implemented Keyboard Hook to intercept Keyboard strokes before they reach the application.

• Completely silent execution with no detection from Anti-Virus (Avast)

• VBS Script used to Dim Shell and prevent CMD from flashing (Alerting the user)

• Decoy Web Browser shortcut pointing to VBS Script which runs both the Keylogger and browser.

• Incredibly lightweight with 0-1% CPU usage

• Output to .bin file discourages average user from touching the file

• Implemented special keys for readibility (Shift, Backspace etc.)

• Uppercase and Lowercase functionality

• Simple killKeylogger .exe to kill process without cumbersome Task Manager

• Short and simple readable code

• Implemented Windows vkCodes

• Functionality accomplished using Windows API

• Simple name to confuse user in Task Manager

TO EDIT:

• Change Decoy Icon to desired web browser

• Change Decoy Start in path to the location of the VBS Script

• Edit Line 4 in the VBS Script to point to desired browser .exe

• Replace Desktop or Menu Web Browser shortcut to Decoy and change name
