Keylogger for macOS

Elementary Keylogger, logs your keystrokes and their time and saves them in a file. Detects the current username and the current keyboard layout. I got a couple more ideas, which I'll add in the future.

Install

  1. Compile the Keylogger using Make (just open the terminal, browse to the corresponding folder and type: make)

  2. Put the Keylogger Program in /usr/local/bin/

  3. To launch it from startup put the plist (contains the infos for launchd) in one of the following directories: /System/Library/LaunchDaemon /Library/LaunchDaemon (recommended) (Admin Password needed)

  4. Restart and the Keylogger will start recording your keystrokes and log them all in /var/log/kv5a.log

Note: You can also launch the Keylogger from the terminal yourself instead but you have to use sudo.

Disclaimer

This Keylogger is for educational purposes only.
