How to Create a Keylogger that Sends Emails (C# 2020) | Simple Explanation + Demo

In this video, we will cover what keylogger is, and give a demonstration on a Windows 10 PC.
I'll show you how to open the source code, customize it for yourself, and deploy the keylogger to other computers, and have the logs automatically emailed to the address of your choosing.

Intro:
We are going to cover what a keylogger is and how they are used
We'll also do an actual keylogging demonstration that involves capturing keystrokes and sending them to ourselves via email
We'll be looking at a tiny bit of code just to explain how some things work, but I want to keep this video fairly simple for the most part.
If you want the hardcore details like the hooks and key-press events are handled, I actually have another video that does a full explanation of all the source-code you see here
After watching this video you'll have a pretty good idea of how a keylogger works,
and you'll be able to take this source code, compile it, and run it on your computer.
And then at the end, I'll show you how to take the .exe, install it on other computers and have it run silently in the background
You should definitely watch this if you're interested in Cybersecurity or, you just like cool stuff

What is a KeyLogger?:
Simply put, a keylogger is just some software that records the keys being pressed on a keyboard.
As you can imagine, something like this has a LOT of use cases in cyber crime.
Imagine you are some kind of malicious bad guy and manage to infect 1000 people with a key logger.

EVERYTHING all those people type will be logged and sent back to you.
If you imagine what people normally do on their computer, as a criminal, you could get lots of interesting information, such as conversations on social media, people checking their bank accounts, like when they log in, their username and password will be captured--this kind of thing
Also while being keylogged, all of your google searches are going to be captured,
all of your ____ searches are going to be captured,
All of the strange things you might type is going to be captured and sent back to the attacker that they can sift through at their leisure.

Even if the attacker doesn't get your bank account info or any kind of financial information, you can still be extorted and blackmailed depending on how weird of stuff you were searching for.
There are probably some legitimate use cases for a key logger such as monitoring employees or surveilling suspected criminals or something like this, but in these cases, especially if you were the employee being monitored most people would feel their privacy has been deeply violated because people type some really intimate things without even thinking about it.

Thanks for watching!
