Hacking | How To Make Your Own Keylogger In C++

INTRODUCTION

Today, with the existence of a program called a Keylogger, gaining unauthorized access to a computer user’s passwords, accounts and confidential information has become as easy as falling off a log. You don’t necessarily need to have physical access to the user’s computer before you are able to monitor
it, sometimes all it takes is a single click on a link to your program by the user. Anyone with basic knowledge about computer can use a Keylogger. By the time you are done with this chapter, hopefully you will be able to make your own Keylogger through simple, well explained and illustrated steps I have made for you.

If you write your own custom codes for a keylogger and keep the source code to yourself, companies that specialize in creating Anti-virus will have nothing about your Keylogger and thus, the chances of cracking it will be considerably low.
