# Keylogger Script
This repository contains a Python script for a keylogger that captures keystrokes and sends them to a Discord channel via a webhook. The script uses the `pynput` library to listen for keystrokes and the `requests` library to send messages to Discord.
## Features
- Captures keystrokes including special keys.
- Buffers keystrokes and sends them to Discord in batches of 100.
- Periodically sends any remaining buffered keystrokes every 5 seconds.
- Supports basic key formatting for special keys.
## Prerequisites
Before running the script, ensure you have the following Python packages installed:
- `requests`
- `pynput`
You can install these packages using `pip`:
```bash
pip install requests pynput
```
## Configuration
1. **Webhook URL**: Replace the placeholder webhook URL in the script with your actual Discord webhook URL:
```python
WEBHOOK_URL = 'YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE'
```
2. **Buffer Size and Interval**: The buffer size is set to 100 keystrokes, and the script sends messages every 5 seconds. You can adjust these values if needed.
## Usage
1. **Run the Script**: Execute the script using Python:
```bash
python keylogger.py
```
2. **Stop the Script**: To stop the script, use Ctrl+C in the terminal where it is running. The script will flush any remaining buffered keystrokes before exiting.
## Important Notes
- **Ethical Use**: This script is intended for educational purposes only. Unauthorized use of keyloggers can be illegal and unethical. Ensure you have explicit permission to run this script on any machine.
- **Rate Limits**: Be mindful of Discord rate limits. Sending too many messages in a short period may result in your webhook being rate-limited or blocked.
- **Privacy**: Be cautious with handling sensitive information. Keyloggers can capture personal and confidential data.
