# Keylogger

This is a simple keylogger implemented in Python using the `pynput` library. It captures keyboard events and logs them to a text file (`key_log.txt`) and a JSON file (`key_log.json`).

## Features:

- Records pressed, held, and released keys.

- Saves key logs in both text and JSON formats.

- Provides a graphical user interface (GUI) built with Tkinter for starting and stopping the keylogger.

## Requirements:

- Python 3.x

- pynput library (`pip install pynput`)

## Usage:

1. Run the script (`keylogger.py`).

2. Click the "Start" button to begin keylogging.

3. Press keys on your keyboard.

4. Click the "Stop" button to stop keylogging.

## Files:

- `keylogger.py`: The main Python script containing the keylogger implementation.

- `key_log.txt`: Text file containing logged key events.

- `key_log.json`: JSON file containing logged key events in JSON format.

## How It Works:

- The `on_press` function is called whenever a key is pressed.

- The `on_release` function is called whenever a key is released.

- Key events are stored in a list `keys_used` and periodically saved to text and JSON files.

- The keylogger can be started and stopped using the GUI buttons.

## Note:

- This keylogger is for educational purposes only. Do not use it for malicious purposes.

- Be cautious when running the keylogger, as it can log sensitive information.
