This project is a simple keylogger written in Python that records the keys pressed by the user and uploads the log file to Google Drive using the Google Drive API. Please note that keyloggers can be considered malicious if used without the user's knowledge and consent. Make sure to use this script responsibly and only for legitimate purposes.
Before running the script, make sure you have the following requirements installed:
- Python 3.x
- pynput library (for capturing keyboard events)
- pydrive library (for uploading files to Google Drive)
You can install the required libraries using pip:
pip install pynput pydrive1. Google Drive API Setup:
- Go to the Google Developers Console.
- Create a new project (or use an existing one).
- Enable the Google Drive API for the project.
- Create credentials for the project and download the
client_secrets.jsonfile.
2. Keylogger Configuration:
- Set the
ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAMEvariable to specify the name of the log file to be uploaded.
To run the keylogger, execute the Python script:
python keylogger.pyThe keylogger captures the keys pressed by the user using the pynput library.
It stores the recorded keys in a list, and when the number of recorded keys exceeds 10, it writes them to the log file specified by the ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME variable.
The keylogger continues recording until the Esc key is pressed, at which point it saves the remaining keys to the log file and uploads it to Google Drive using the pydrive library.
Note: The script will keep running and capturing key events until the Esc key is pressed, so make sure to terminate it appropriately.
The use of keyloggers to record a user's keystrokes without their knowledge and consent may violate privacy laws and is considered unethical.
