Keylogger Script

This script is a simple keylogger that captures keystrokes and saves them to a file named keylog.txt. Additionally, it sends the log file via email when the Esc key is pressed. Below is a detailed description of the script's functionality:

Features

1. Keystroke Logging:

   • The script uses the pynput library to listen for keyboard events.
   • Keystrokes are recorded and appended to a file named keylog.txt.

2. Email Notification:

   • When the Esc key is pressed, the script stops logging and sends the keylog.txt file as an email attachment.
   • The email is sent using the smtplib library, with the email content and attachment handled by the email.mime modules.

How It Works

1. Logging Keystrokes:

   • The on_press function captures each key press and writes it to keylog.txt.
   • The on_release function checks if the Esc key is pressed. If so, it triggers the send_email function and stops the listener.

2. Sending Email:

   • The send_email function constructs an email with the keylog.txt file attached.
   • It uses SMTP to send the email from a specified sender address to a recipient address.

Usage

1. Dependencies:

   • Ensure you have the pynput and smtplib libraries installed. You can install pynput using pip:

     pip install pynput
     pip install smtplib

2. Configuration:

   • Update the fromaddr, toaddr, and SMTP server details in the send_email function with your own email credentials and server information.

3. Running the Script:

   • Run the script in your Python environment. It will start logging keystrokes immediately.
   • Press the Esc key to stop logging and send the email with the log file attached.

Important Notes

• Ethical Use: This script should only be used for ethical purposes, such as monitoring your own devices or for educational purposes. Unauthorized use of keyloggers is illegal and unethical.
• Security: Ensure that your email credentials are stored securely and not hard-coded in the script for production use.

By following the above instructions, you can use this keylogger script to capture keystrokes and send the log file via email.
