🎯 Goal

The goal of this project is to create a simple keylogger.

🧵 Dataset

N/A

🧾 Description

This program is a basic keylogger that captures keystrokes and logs them into a text file. It uses the pynput library to listen to keyboard events. The keylogger logs both normal and special keystrokes into the file and stops when the Esc key is pressed.

🧮 What I had done!

1. Built a simple keylogger that logs keystrokes pressed.
2. It logs both normal and special keystrokes and stores them into a text file (keystrokes_log.txt)
3. The keylogger continues logging into the text file until the Esc key is pressed

🚀 Models Implemented

📢 Conclusion

This keylogger program efficiently captures and logs keystrokes using the pynput library. It records both regular and special keys into a text file, periodically writing data to avoid losing information. The program runs until the "Esc" key is pressed, making it suitable for monitoring keyboard input in a non-intrusive way
