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. We have integrated Twilio's SMS API to send the data in an encrypted format to the target phone number.
  • 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-platform keylogger!
  • Multi software hack: pyKeylogger is packed with many modules to make it more advance than traditional keyloggers.

Challenges we ran into

  1. 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.

  2. Integration of Twilio for the first time was time-taking but we managed to integrate it with our application by experimenting with it.

  3. Working with the file system and reading/writing data was challenging.
