Abstract

Users often face challenges in safeguarding critical information while requiring discreet surveillance tools. The proposed solution integrates keystroke logging with secure email transmission, providing an efficient dual-purpose application. Keylogging, also known as keystroke or keyboard scanning, is a way to record the keys that are being typed on the keyboard, by the user's computer or keyboard, so that the keyboard user does not know that their details are being tracked. The system is developed using Python for its extensive libraries and ease of integration, while Visual Studio Code serves as the development platform. Gmail is utilized for the secure transmission of encrypted keystroke logs. The research process involved designing system architecture, utilizing flowcharts for data flow visualization, and conducting rigorous testing to ensure reliability and security. Results indicate that the system effectively captures user inputs, encrypts sensitive data, and transmits logs without significant resource impact. This approach successfully mitigates data loss risks while offering a practical monitoring solution. In conclusion, the keylogger with email functionality provides a secure and efficient method for data monitoring and backup. Future enhancements may include advanced encryption techniques and expanded platform compatibility, further broadening its applicability in various contexts.
