A key logger is a program that
records your keystrokes, and this program saves them in a log file on your
local computer.
Installing
Simple Keylogger
Windows
To change visibility of the window
set the #define in line 6 to visible or invisible.
Simply compile into an .exe, and
then run. Visual Studio is good for this.
- invisible makes the window of the
logger disappear, and it also starts up hidden from view. Note that it is
still visible in the task manager.
- Visible is visible, and the
window does not close when typing. Great for testing it out.
Both of these save the keystrokes to
a .txt file when closed.
Mac
This is a little more complicated.
Please note, it does not work for secure areas such as password inputs. I have
not found a work around yet.
Installation
Download the repo. It will install
in /usr/local/bin/keylogger.
Install it:
$
git clone https://github.com/GiacomoLaw/Keylogger
&& cd keylogger
$ make
&& make install
It will log to /var/log/keystroke.log. This may require root access, but
you can change that if you want. Set where you want it to log:
$
keylogger ~/logfile.txt
Want to make it start on system
startup?
$
sudo make startup
That will run it on startup.
Uninstall
$
sudo make uninstall
Will uninstall the program, but not
the logs.
