The problem pyKeylogger solves
Key loggers are activity-monitoring software programs that give hackers access to your data. The software is installed on your computer and records everything you type. Then it sends this log file to a server, where cybercriminals wait to use all this sensitive information.
This key logger can not only detect & record your keystrokes but can also:
- Takes screenshot at a particular interval of time - Records audio - Record your System’s information & IP Address - Sends the data to the remote server using Twilio - Keep track of your clipboard information
Why pyKeylogger?
- It will broaden the way of thinking of researchers about how we can innovate the key loggers. - It will help identify the loopholes in the current anti key loggers software. - Multi software hack: pyKeylogger is packed with many modules to make it more advance than traditional keyloggers.
Challenges we ran into
-
Handling modules was quite challenging as we weren't familiar with them. To tackle this situation, we have to read and take references from the official docs of the modules.
-
Integration of Twilio for the first time was time-taking but we managed to integrate it with our application by experimenting with it.
-
Working with the file system and reading/writing data was challenging.
