Family Key Logger

Family Key Logger

Aim

The main aim of this project is to create a family keylogger.

Purpose

The purpose of this script is to run in the background and log whatever the user is typing through the keyboard input.

Short description of package/script

This key logger is a python based script which logs and stores key-strokes. The key-strokes are then saved on the hard-drive in a text file.
It can be ethically used by parents to track what their children are doing on the internet. Key loggers are used in corporations where employers track and keep a log of what their employees are doing.

Workflow of the Project

  • We have installed and used the 'pynput' module to get and track the input from the keyboard.
  • We have installed and used the 'win10toast' module to get the ToastNotifier for Windows 10.
  • Just run the script through the terminal.
  • You will see a notification saying - "A family keylogger has started to work" which tells that the script has started to work.

Setup instructions

  • You should have 'pynput' module in your system. If you don't have just install it through the terminal using the following command
    pip install pynput
  • You should have 'win10toast' module in your system. If you don't have just install it through the terminal using the following command

  • Finally to run this script in the background of your computer, open the terminal and type-in the below mentioned command
    python key_logger.py
