A keylogger software that tracks or logs the keys struck on your keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that you don’t know that your actions are being monitored. These keystrokes will be stored in a log file. We can record sensitive information like username and password using this keystroke. 3

1. Project Title

Writing a Basic Keylogger in Python

2. Domain

Cyber security

3. Problem Statement

Keyloggers or keystroke loggers are software programs or hardware devices that track the activities (keys pressed) of a keyboard. Keyloggers are a form of spyware where users are unaware their actions are being tracked. Keyloggers can be used for a variety of purposes; hackers may use them to maliciously gain access to your private information, while employers might use them to monitor employee activities.

4. Project Description

A keylogger software that tracks or logs the keys struck on your keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that you don’t know that your actions are being monitored. These keystrokes will be stored in a log file. We can record sensitive information like username and password using this keystroke.

1. Scope of the Work

The main scope of our project is to create the basic keylogger and understand working principles of this software. This investigation will help us to find ways for protecting our devices from this malicious program.

1. Project Modules*

1. 
   Activity tracking 
   
2. 
   Clipboard logging
   
3. 
   Uploading the data to a website, database or FTP server.
   
4. 
   Control text capture
   

*This modules can be used or deleted in our final project. Some features can be add.

5. Implementation Methodology

This software is done by using python programming language and using it’s libraries. Also we will be working with Windows Terminal. During this project we will find the ways of spreading it(in legitimate way) and protecting from it. After writing the code we will test it.

6. Technologies to be used

   1. Software Platform

Opereating System:

- Windows 10

Developing environment:

-python 3.8

Back end:

-Text Files

Hardware Platform

2. Tools

- Pycharm;

- Visual studio code.

7. Advantages of this Project

Keylogger software can used in many peaceful ways. For example: Parents can monitor their children’s online activity or law enforcement may use it to analyze and track incidents linked to the use of personal computers, and employers can make sure their employees are working instead of surfing the web all day.

8. Future Scope and further enhancement of the Project

Our group future scope is fully understand working principles of keylogger and make antivirus to protect devices from hackers who are trying to use or steal your data.

10. Conclusion

Our final is result is a fully working keylogger software with some useful features that will shown in our last presentation. We can a lot of ways to develop our project. And we can fully swear that this program will be used only in legitimate ways.
