Overview The Keystroke Recorder is a simple keylogger implemented in Python, designed to capture and log keystrokes on a target system. It demonstrates basic keystroke recording functionality and includes the capability to send logged data to a remote server for analysis. This project is intended for educational purposes to help understand keylogging techniques and the importance of cybersecurity.

Features -Records keystrokes in real-time. -Saves keystrokes to a log file. -Sends logs to a specified remote server. -Uses an environment variable for configurable log filenames.
Technologies Used -Python -pynput for keyboard event handling -requests for sending data to a server -logging for logging captured keystrokes
Example Usage Upon running, the keylogger will start capturing keystrokes immediately. The keystrokes will be logged in a text file specified by the KEY_LOG_FILENAME environment variable or default to a timestamped filename.
Important Notes Ensure you have permission to run this software on the target system. Misuse of this keylogger can result in legal consequences.
