    INTRODUCTION
    Keystroke logging, also known as keylogging, is simply tracking the keys that are struck on
    a keyboard. This can be done in multiple ways using a wide variety of hardware devices or
    software. The reason for its large threat to networks and their security is due to its covertness
    4 Chandigarh Polytechnic College nature. Most keyloggers show no signs of any intrusion
    within the system allowing for them to gain typed information without anyone having
    knowledge of its actions except for the user who installed it. With the proper keylogger
    installed on the correct machine a person could easily gain access to a company9s entire
    network infrastructure. In terms of system critical data or extremely privileged information
    this could cause problems for a vast amount of people very quickly.

    Some of the advantages are:

    I) Monitoring employees-Keyloggers are very much used in offices to monitor the activities
    of the employees. This is basically done to ensure the employees are using the company’s
    resources as intended.

    II) Monitoring Kids--Keyloggers are very much used in offices to monitor the activities of
    the Kids or teenagers, it can keep a record of their activity .

    III) Ethical Hacking-We can use a keylogger on our personal computer to understand how it
    actually works and what mistakes we need to avoid in order to prevent our self from getting
    into trap.
    Literature
    A keylogger is a software or hardware tool that records keystrokes on a computer, often
    covertly. While they can have legitimate uses, such as monitoring computer activity or
    enhancing security, they also pose serious privacy and security risks when used maliciously.
    Detecting and preventing keyloggers is crucial to safeguarding personal and sensitive
    information.

     Keyloggers can be employed for various purposes, including parental control,


    employee monitoring, and cybersecurity investigations.
     In the context of parental control, keyloggers may assist parents in ensuring the safety
    of their children online, allowing them to monitor their activities and interactions.
    Problem Statement
    Keyloggers pose a significant threat to digital privacy and security by surreptitiously
    capturing keystrokes, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information, passwords, and
    personal data. Detecting and mitigating keyloggers while allowing legitimate uses is a
    complex challenge in the realm of cybersecurity.
     Keyloggers pose a significant threat to digital privacy and security by surreptitiously
    capturing keystrokes, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information,
    passwords, and personal data.
     Their use in malicious activities, such as identity theft and data breaches, continues to
    be a major concern in the digital age.
    Objectives of a Keylogger
     Enhance Digital Security: Detect and prevent malicious keyloggers to safeguard
    sensitive information and prevent data breaches.
     Ethical Use: Utilize keyloggers for legitimate purposes, such as cybersecurity
    investigations and parental control, while respecting privacy and obtaining consent.
     Protect Against Insider Threats: Employ keyloggers in corporate environments to
    monitor employee activities, reducing the risk of data leakage and insider threats.
     Enhance Investigative Capabilities: Utilize keyloggers to aid digital forensic
    investigations by identifying security vulnerabilities and tracing the source of
    cyberattacks.
    HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

    We need computer resources with sufficient hardware and the tools installed in.

    I. Processor - 1.80 GHz.


    II. RAM - 2 GB .
    III. Hard Disk - 500 GB.
    IV. Network card -10-100 MBPS of Network card.
    SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

    This key logger will be software based program where people can use this for their study
    purpose or monitoring there system use. Since it is a software application an IDE will be used
    in order to write code and to run them. Among these tools, we need to install latest version of
    python in our computers. With the help of these tools, it is possible to implement a keylogger
    to a system and maintain a log of pressed keys. In addition to these tools, the language we
    will use is Python . Some other required software are :-

    Operating System: Windows v10

    Virtual Box: Oracle VM Virtual Box

    Python Version: Python v3.7.2

    Python IDE: VsCode.
