Hey guys!
In today's video, we discuss how to write a keylogger in Python. A keylogger logs all keys on your keyboard and hides in the background. This is a common tool used by hackers for stealing all kinds of information from users without them even knowing. Please don't do this for real! Learning purposes only :D Enjoy!

My friend!!! So much thank you for this! I've been working on HTML&CSS, JavaScript and Python for almost a year now. Done a lot of nice things already, but I always had a problem with installing libraries. Always got errors, never worked. Yeah yeah you all can laugh (I almost cried about it) watched dozens of video's about it, starting to feel really stupid... And your simply explaination / demonstration in the beginning, it worked! Now I finally can make serious progression with Python! Since libraries are half of the work. Thanks for this cool keylogger but MANY MORE THANKS for explaining / demonstrating libraries 😀 Like and a sub

@joshuasachiza6135 4 ай бұрын

I totally agree with libraries are a lot of work. So much stress just for installing / configuring stuff which usually doesn't even work even if you follow everything, line by line 😂😂
