​This is the completed Simple Windows Keylogger found in the tutorial I posted.  This keylogger performs two main functions: ​

1. Tracks user keystroke input and saves that input to local file (file path defined by user).  The local file can also be uploaded to DropBox every X seconds.
2. Creates a Windows registry Runkey, executing the script on startup.

It's important to note that I'm not responsible for what you use this keylogger for. Use it to educate yourself on keyloggers, Python, and other things that don't involve snooping on the unsuspecting.

​This post is a tutorial on how to develop a keylogger for Windows using Python. A ​​keylogger is an application used to capture keystrokes from an unsuspecting user.  I'll walk you through the steps of building your own keylogger (with ability to store a file locally or upload it to Dropbox) and explain the steps along the way so you too can start experimenting with Python. In addition, I'll just post the script because I know that's what some of you want.

​The following will be broken down into three parts:

• Setting up your Python environment
• Developing the Python script
• Script execution
