💻 This project was created only for good purposes and personal use.
THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. YOU MAY USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE USE IS COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE END-USER. THE DEVELOPERS ASSUME NO LIABILITY AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISUSE OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS PROGRAM.
- Works on Windows/Linux
- Notify New Victim Via Email
- Undetectable
- Persistence
- Email Credentials Validation before Payload Generation.
- Can receive Keylogs in any email provider such as GMAIL, YAHOO, OUTLOOK, Custom SMTP.
- SMTP Server/ Port
| Server Name | SMTP Server | SMTP Port |
|---|---|---|
| GMAIL | smtp.gmail.com | 587 |
| OUTLOOK | smtp-mail.outlook.com | 587 |
| YAHOO | smtp.mail.yahoo.com | 587 |
- Sends Screenshot of Victim PC's Screen via email
- Creates Executable Binary With Zero Dependencies
- Create less size ~ 5mb payload with advance functionality
- Obfusticate the Payload before Generating it, hence Bypassing few more antivirus
- Generated Payload is Encoded with base64, hence makes extremely difficult to reverse engineer the payload
- Function to Kill Antivirus on Victim PC and tries to disable the security
- Awesome Colourful Interface to generate payload
- On Attacker Side: While Creating Payload, Script Automatically Detects Missing Dependencies & Installs Them
- Distinguish Log Data on the Basics of Active Window Name (Check Image for Better Understanding)
- Able to add custom Icon to evil file
- Built-in Binder which can bind Keylogger to Any File [.pdf, .txt, .exe etc], Running legitimate file on front end & evil codes in back-end as a service.
- Checks for Already Running Instance on System, If running instance found, then only legitimate file is executed [Multiple Instance Prohibiter to avoid Receiving Duplicate Email Logs].
- Attacker can Create/Compile for Both Windows/Linux OS Using Linux System, But Can only Create/Compile Windows Executable using Windows Machine
- Retrieves Saved Passwords from victim System and sends it to Attacker.
| Built-in Stealer Can Steal These Things : |
|---|
| Chrome Browser (Saved Password) |
| WiFi (Saved Password) |
| Chrome Cookies (Login Data, Cookies, History) |
| Firefox Cookies (cookies.sqlite) |
- Grabs & Send Useful Information of Victim's Device
| These Things are Grabbed & Sended: |
|---|
| Operating System |
| Computer Name |
| User Name |
| Public IPv4 |
- If your payload is unable to execute, then specify --debug to run exe on foreground with CMD
On 30 May 2022, Google has removed less secure apps feature, so instead of Gmail Password:
- Enable 2FA on your attacker gmail
- Create App Specific Password
- Use that
app specific password, while creating payload. - How to Create App Specific Password: Click Here

Try to Run Offline Keylogger in order to test Offline Key logs capturing & Debug keylogger issues by running these commands:
Run test_key.py In both the modes [Compiled & Raw] and figure out whats the error
Run it like this : python test_key.py
Also Compile it like this:
pyinstaller --onefile test_key.py --hidden-import=win32event --hidden-import=winerror --hidden-import=win32api --hidden-import=pynput.keyboard
After running it, Start typing something, Result will be displayed on the Command prompt after every 10 seconds
Offline keylogger's files are present in TestKeylogger Folder
- If payload is unable to execute on victim's system
1. Create a new payload with --debug flag
2. Run payload exe throught cmd [Don't Execute Payload By Double Clicking It]
3. It will now give more appropriate error in CMD, just put that issue in Issue Section
- Go to start, type regedit and run the first program, this will open the registry editor.
- Navigate to the following path Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run There should be an entry called svchost, right click this entry and select Delete.
- Go to your user path > AppData > Roaming, you’ll see a file named “svchost.exe”, this is the RAT, right click > Delete.
- Restart the System.
- Run "RemoveSinister.bat" in Infected System and then restart the PC to stop the current Running Evil File.
-
Open Autostart file with any text editor, Autostart File Path: ~/.config/autostart/xinput.desktop
-
Remove these 5 lines:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name=Xinput Exec="destination_file_name" -
Note: destination_file_name is that name of evil_file which you gave to your Keylogger using -o parameter
-
Reboot your system and then delete the evil file stored this this below path
-
Destination Path, where Keylogger is stored : ~/.config/xnput
