Keylogger with Python and Pynput

This is a simple keylogger script written in Python using the pynput library. The script logs all keystrokes into a text file with timestamps. This can be used for monitoring keyboard activity on your computer.

Features

• Logs every keystroke with a timestamp.
• Saves the logs to a specified directory.
• Lightweight and easy to set up.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• pynput library

You can install the required library using pip:

pip install pynput

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

git clone

https://github.com/astafofo/python-Keylogger.git

cd python-Keylogger

1. Specify the log directory:

Open the script and set the log_dir variable to the path where you want to save the keylogs. For example:

log_dir = "/path/to/your/log/ directory/"

Ensure that the directory exists, or the script will throw an error.

2. Run the script:

Execute the script using Python:

python keylogger.py

The script will start logging keystrokes to the specified directory in a file named keylogs.txt.

3. Stop the script:

To stop the keylogger, you can terminate the script manually (e.g., by pressing Ctrl + C in the terminal).

Security and Ethics
